Indiana’s life sciences industry continues to lead the nation with the investment and innovation of companies like Simtra BioPharma Solutions.
Yesterday we cut the ribbon on their latest expansion in Bloomington that will create hundreds of new, high wage jobs!
Recently I signed a proclamation recognizing November as Adoption Month.
I want to thank the Carman family for joining us in my office to mark the occasion and thank all families who, like the Carman family, have taken the brave, and loving step to create or build their family through adoption.
Last night, I had the Governor’s Residence lit green for the first time as part of #OperationGreenLight to show our support for Indiana’s veterans.
The Residence will stay green through Veterans Day on November 11 as a visible reminder of our gratitude for those who have served our country and the challenges many continue to face.
I’ll always stand with the men and women who have defended our freedoms. I encourage Hoosiers to join me by lighting their homes and businesses green in support of our veterans!
Congratulations to Senate President Pro Tem-elect Chris Garten and Speaker-elect Ben Smaltz on their new leadership roles. Over the years, we have worked together to deliver results on issues important to Hoosier families, and I am eager to continue that collaboration. As we look ahead, our shared focus must remain on addressing the kitchen table concerns facing hardworking Hoosiers, lowering costs, increasing opportunity, and ensuring affordability remains at the center of our work together.
Hey, Hoosiers, it’s Election Day. Maureen and I have voted and we hope you’ll do your civic duty, too, and get out and vote today!
I am proud to announce that the waitlist for Child Care Development Fund vouchers has dropped by 78% as a result of my historic $200M investment to expand access to these vouchers.
Today, with nearly 48,000 children receiving vouchers, parents have the flexibility to pursue better jobs, gain new skills and build stronger futures for their families.
Today I directed the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission to expedite review of proposals from utility companies to lower rates for Hoosiers.
I want those savings getting into Hoosiers' pockets as soon as possible. These proposals need to be expedited to make sure families aren't waiting any longer than necessary for relief.

Indiana’s defense sector is taking off like never before!
Yesterday, we launched the Midwest UAS Test Site in Terre Haute, one of just nine FAA-designated drone test sites in the country.
This new resource will give companies and researchers the tools to develop, test and bring next-generation drone technologies to market right here in Indiana!
Congratulations to Jill and Warren Schimpff, the owners of Schimpff's Confectionery, and the entire Schimpff family for earning the state’s top tourism award.
The Will Koch Indiana Tourism Leadership Award is a well deserved honor for the stewards of this 135 year old family business that has been beloved by generations of Hoosiers!
Every week, we’re seeing new investments, business expansions and opportunities for Hoosiers in communities across our state.
My weekly newsletter is a great way to keep up with those announcements and the steps we’re taking to make life more affordable for Indiana families.

Today we cut the ribbon on the new Ohio Township Park in Newburgh.
This project is one of many quality of place investments we are making to benefit Hoosiers across Indiana.
I hope families enjoy this park’s splash pad, pickleball and volleyball courts, running trails and more!
Affordability will always be my top priority, and I’m proud of all we have accomplished so far to make life more affordable for Hoosiers.
Today I was honored to be recognized for my work to increase healthcare access and affordability, especially in rural areas, by being awarded the Community Health Center Champion award from the Indiana Primary Health Care Association.
This week, we announced a new partnership with AtkinsRéalis and Hoosier Energy to explore the potential development of up to eight nuclear reactors capable of generating 6 gigawatts of electricity.
This is an exciting step in our all-of-the-above energy strategy to deliver affordable power, attract investment and create good-paying jobs for Hoosiers.
Indiana tuition ⬇️
Illinois tuition ⬆️
I froze all tuition and mandatory fee increases at all public colleges and universities for two academic years.
I'll always prioritize ensuring you get the best value while protecting your bottom line!
This week I announced the next phase of the August disaster recovery, a housing strategy for Hoosiers displaced from the severe weather and flooding.
At my direction, the Indiana Department of Homeland Security is leading shelter transition support for displaced Hoosiers.
This is a vital piece of the recovery puzzle and a key step toward rebuilding.
I’m proud to have taken VP @JDVance’s pledge and join President Trump and Vice President Vance in the fight against fraud.
Taxpayer dollars should go to those who truly need assistance, not into the pockets of fraudsters.
Do you hate fraud?
If so, I’m calling on you to join me in taking the pledge to protect Americans from fraudsters, by doing everything in your power to ensure that:
1. Vulnerable Americans, such as the elderly, indigent, and disabled, are protected from fraudsters who seek to prey on them.
2. Taxpayer-funded programs serve law-abiding Americans, not illegal aliens or fraudsters.
3. Taxpayer-funded benefits are not used by fraudsters to buy mansions or luxury cars.
4. Public agencies and officials work tirelessly and aggressively, coordinating at all levels of government, to stop fraud before payments go out the door.
5. Fraudsters face justice for their crimes in a court of law. Convicted fraudsters will be imprisoned and barred from ever receiving another penny of taxpayer dollars.
6. Illegal alien fraudsters are promptly arrested, prosecuted, imprisoned, and deported, never able to take advantage of Americans’ generosity again.
Congratulations Katie Bailey! Katie was my legislative director throughout my time in the Senate and later served as my federal liaison when I was elected Governor. She is a force to be reckoned with and will be a great asset to @POTUS Trump!
If we want inmates to succeed when they leave correctional facilities, then the work has to start before they walk out the door.
That work can come in many forms, including through community gardens, like this one, that are tended to by inmates. IDOC donates 100k lbs of produce from these gardens to local food pantries every year.
Last year I directed IDOC to take several actions to help incarcerated Hoosiers successfully re-enter society.
Programs like the community gardens are an important piece of that puzzle.
Indiana keeps getting safer.
Our state ranked ➡️ 16th in 2023, 12th in 2024, 11th in 2025, and 8th in 2026.
Yet another reason why Indiana is a top tier place to live, work and raise a family!
