Thank you to CBS Sunday Morning for covering the important topic of pedestrian safety and for traveling to Indianapolis to learn about my efforts as a member of the @IndyCouncil to make lasting improvements.

[CBS Sunday Morning 🌞 @CBSSunday]

More than 7,500 pedestrians were killed by a vehicle in 2022, the highest number in 40 years. But experts say, more than the design of vehicles, the design of the roads themselves is to blame for the alarming rise in pedestrian fatalities. https://t.co/bfkXjbfHLE

In the era of #ArtificialIntelligence, when human dignity is threatened by new forms of dehumanization, ours is the pressing duty to remain profoundly human. We must lovingly safeguard the grandeur of humanity bestowed upon us and revealed in its fullness in Christ, the splendor of which no machine can ever replace. #MagnificaHumanitas

This morning, I was excited to join community leaders, city officials, and fellow Councilors to cut the ribbon on the new Indianapolis Animal Care Services shelter.

Whether you’re chasing the checkered flag or running errands, attention is non‑negotiable. 🏁

@IndyCar driver @smclaughlin93 is all about staying locked in — so let’s keep phones down and eyes on the road.

[IMPD @IMPDnews]

We are grateful to share that the IMPD officer who was shot yesterday while bravely serving our community was released from the hospital today.

The officer was surrounded by fellow officers and dedicated medical staff who provided exceptional care and support throughout his recovery in the hospital.

While the healing journey is just beginning, we remain incredibly proud of this officer and all of our officers for their courage, resilience, and steadfast commitment to the people of Indianapolis.

Council adopts Proposal No. 58, 2026, a special resolution recognizing 40 years of dedicated service by Indianapolis Fire Department Chief Ernest Malone.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

Lee Hamilton was a giant at home in Indiana and a deeply respected leader on the international stage. He embodied the best kind of Hoosier values with his principled, steady leadership across a remarkable career in public service. I was fortunate to know him and to learn from his example, one that is particularly instructive in these times. He will be greatly missed.

[André Carson @RepAndreCarson]

I'm deeply saddened by the passing of former Indiana Congressman Lee Hamilton. A champion of bipartisanship and a true Hoosier icon,  his legacy shaped Congress and extended far beyond it, especially his work at Indiana University.

We honor Congressman Hamilton's lifelong commitment to public service and the lasting impact he leaves on our nation.
