Dr. Jeff Wargo of Richmond and fellow Indiana dermatologists came by my DC office to talk about the care they provide our communities. He treats many of our Wayne County veterans, including some I met with recently. Their work detecting and treating skin cancer saves lives. #IN06

I get to work with mayors across our district as partners to advance local infrastructure needs. Mayor Steve Barnett of Franklin and Mayor Mark Myers of Greenwood came by my DC office to talk Johnson County priorities. I advanced $1.1 million through the Appropriations Committee for a much-needed stormwater project in Steve’s city. I love being able to help communities back home! #IN06

We broke ground on a new terminal at Richmond Municipal Airport. The current one is 80 years old. Wayne County needs a new gateway. The city did the work to get this project ready. I advocated for the $1.4 million FAA award to help make it happen. With 15,000 operations a year, this airport keeps eastern Indiana connected. #IN06

Thank you to Public Servants’ Prayer for visiting our Capitol office — and for the personalized Bible bearing our Indiana state seal. I’m grateful for their prayers for me, my colleagues, and our country. We need wisdom and humility in this work! #IN06

Indiana makes things that matter. 
At @AdvaMedUpdate Medtech Showcase, I joined @CookMedical and medical device companies from Greenwood and Franklin (along with their mayors) to see their work firsthand. Local medical device manufacturers are helping improve patient care around the world. #IN06

Thank you to Greenwood’s Andrea Bauer and the @ACSCAN volunteers for our conversation about cancer research funding and access to clinical trials. For Hoosiers facing cancer, where you live shouldn’t limit your treatment options. I’m working to bring care closer to home. #IN06

Senior Japanese lawmakers visited my office and the Capitol recently. No state draws more Japanese investment per person than Indiana. Japanese companies employ 70,000 Hoosiers. It’s a partnership we’re working to keep strong. #IN06 #JapanUS

Mary and I joined Southside friends Friday night to celebrate Mental Health America of Indiana’s 75th anniversary. We’re grateful for 75 years of speaking up for Hoosiers facing mental health challenges and their families. That work matters, and so do the people who keep it going.

Hoosier business leaders came to Washington this week to meet with Indiana’s congressional delegation. We talked about energy, workforce needs, and the regulations that can make it easier—or harder—to build and grow in Indiana. Thank you to @IndianaChamber for bringing us together, and to Gerry Dick of @IIB for moderating.

Local communities should decide whether to approve a data center. The companies should pay for the power and grid upgrades they need—not shift those costs onto other customers. This week, I voted for the Ratepayer Protection Act to help protect Hoosiers from those added costs. Families and small businesses shouldn't be asked to foot the bill for big tech. #IN06

IU Health leaders stopped by my DC office this week to discuss the acute shortage of registered nurses and what that means for care in our district. Hoosiers deserve quality care close to home. We need to recruit, train and keep more RNs in the our communities they serve. #IN06

The money stolen from Americans by overseas scam operations is measured in the billions. Getting any of it back takes a federal government that works as one team. As Chairman of the Stop Scams Caucus, I hosted U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro to brief members on the DOJ Scam Center Strike Force she leads. Her team specializes in going after the networks behind these schemes, the money they move, and the bad actors that keep them running. Thank you to @JudgeJeanine for working so well with us on this. Hoosiers lose savings to these networks every week. As a team, we’re putting a stop to the scams. #StopScams #IN06

Indiana is the Crossroads of America. Truckers keep it moving. They haul what our farms grow, our factories make, and our families need. This Truck Driver Appreciation Week, thank you to the drivers who do the job safely. Everyone sharing the road depends on you. Watch my remarks on the House floor ⬇️

GraceHouse has served Johnson County families for decades. I appreciated sharing time with Pastor Wayne Murray and GraceHouse leaders at the National Leadership Summit. We talked about strengthening families, serving our neighbors, and doing our part for our country. Thank you for the work you do here at home. #IN06

If scammers steal your retirement savings, the government shouldn’t hit you with an early withdrawal penalty, too. I voted for the Tax Relief for Fraud Victims Act to help people who’ve already lost enough. As Chairman of the STOP Scams Caucus, I hear from Hoosiers who’ve been through this. They shouldn’t be penalized for being a victim. #IN06 #StopScams

I joined Mayor Guy Titus and our Hancock County neighbors in downtown Greenfield for Hometown Heroes. We remembered those we lost on 9/11 — twenty-five years ago. And we thanked our first responders who answer the call here at home - including the Greenfield Fire Department. These neighbors step into danger, and help families through their hardest hours. We owe them our gratitude and support! Thank you to Greenfield Main Street and Wooden Bear Brewing for bringing us together.

Twenty-five years ago, 2,977 people were killed in the 9/11 attacks. They went to work that morning — just as I did. They boarded airplanes. They said goodbye to their families, expecting to see them again that night. But they never came home. We remember the first responders who ran toward danger in NYC. The passengers and crew of Flight 93 who fought back. The men and women at the Pentagon. And all those whose lives were taken that morning. Twenty-five years later, I remember that day clearly. Hoosiers remember it, too — where we were, who we were with, and how our country came together afterward. We will never forget.

Recovering from the August floods will take time. My team and I are staying on the job. I spoke with FOX59 about recovery efforts and how we’re helping Hoosiers get answers and apply for federal assistance. If you’re having trouble getting help, call my office at 317-399-3333. You don’t have to sort it out alone.

Welcome to Indy! Guests arrived last night for the Japan-America Society of Indiana's conference today and tomorrow. I'm looking forward to welcoming everyone. Japanese businesses support 70,000 Hoosier jobs. Ambassador Yamada and I discussed strengthening those ties—a priority I'll carry forward as incoming Republican Co-Chair of the Congressional Study Group on Japan. Good allies make good economic partners. #IN06 #USJapan
