Indiana remains just one of 13 states without any form of legal cannabis. Tomorrow, we start a golden opportunity to change that with the first Interim Study Committee on Cannabis. I will be fighting for us to join those other 37 states with modernized cannabis laws.
The work does not stop here, and I will keep pushing for a criminal justice system that is fair for all. #INForAll

This interim, I submitted a request to take a closer look at the unreliable and secret use of incentivized jailhouse informants in our criminal justice system.
Though this topic did not get selected for study this year, I am thankful to Senators Greg Taylor and Mike Bohacek, as well as Representatives Matt Pierce and Mitch Gore, for joining me in advocating for a closer look at this issue.

I'm thrilled to be supporting WDSO’s 50th Anniversary Party on Sunday, May 17!
The student-run radio station has been serving Northwest Indiana since 1976, and instilling the love of public media and student journalism in our community for generations.
As an alumnus of WDSO, I can speak firsthand to the impact this program has on students and to its importance to our Northwest Indiana community.
I am grateful for both the opportunity to present WDSO with a proclamation recognizing this milestone and to be playing...
I am grateful that the General Assembly will take a closer look at this and that we will have the opportunity to develop meaningful legislation that will protect Indiana workers. #INForAll
After today’s Legislative Council meeting, I am pleased to announce that worker’s compensation matters will be studied this interim after I submitted this topic for consideration following years of discussion and data collection with our labor unions.
From 2016-2023, there was no increase in benefits whatsoever. While I was proud to fight for legislation that increased the benefits by 3% each year from 2023 to 2026, we need to further increase them to account for both inflation and the previous, years-long lack of increases.
Over the past few days, I’ve been so grateful for the opportunity to talk with students at Bailly and Liberty Elementary Schools about our state government!
We went over how a bill becomes a law, the three branches of government and the value of collaboration in the Statehouse.
This task force has been amazing for the Indianapolis area, and I’m looking forward to seeing those same results Porter and LaPorte counties. #INForAll
