Dear Tanner,

Thank you for signing up to receive my email newsletter. These newsletters cover a variety of topics, including events happening in northeast Indiana, legislation being considered in Congress, and my perspective on current issues. My hope is to keep you updated and informed on how issues in Washington may impact our region. I welcome your feedback.

Breaking Beijing’s Hold On Campus

In the freest country on earth, students shouldn’t have to worry about their classmates ratting them out to the Chinese Communist Party.

My bill makes sure that student visa holders who snitch for the Communist Party get a one way ticket home. Click here to learn more.

Countering China's Political Warfare Act

The Chinese Communist Party's United Front has infiltrated non profits in our state and pushed Indiana to cozy up with Communist China.

My bill would sanction the United Front and all #CCP groups engaged in political warfare! Click here to learn more.

Safeguarding Student-Athletes from NLRB Misclassification

Last week, the Health, Employment, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) and the Higher Education and Workforce Development (HEWD) subcommittees held a joint hearing covering the National Labor Relations Board's overreach into college athletics. Click here to learn more.

National Security Event In Indianapolis

Great conversation with Morgan Ortagus, Jennifer-Ruth Green, and Congressman Jim Baird in Indianapolis on the importance of strengthening America’s national security.

Americans Aren't Buying It

Inflation in Indiana is up 18% since January 2021. Hoosier households are spending $876 more per month than they were in 2021 on the exact same goods and services…. That has cost the average family $20,974 since then.

Joe Biden claims his economy is the “envy of the world.” Americans aren’t buying it!

The American Economy Is Not Working For Americans!

Joe Biden keeps on bragging about the supposed economic rebound from COVID, but fewer American-born workers are employed today than during COVID. All net job gains have gone to immigrants.

The American economy is not working for Americans!

2024 Service Academy Day

One of the best parts of my job is getting to nominate highly motivated and patriotic Hoosiers to our nation’s prestigious military academies. I’m grateful for the parents and students who take time out of their weekend to learn more about how they can serve our nation.

My office will host the 2024 Service Academy Day at the Indiana Air National Guard Base on Saturday, April 13th. Students will have the opportunity to meet with officials from the service academies and the Third Congressional District Service Academy Advisory Board. Click here to learn more.

2024 Congressional Art Competition

The 2024 Congressional Art Competition is here!

If you are a high school student who loves art, this is a great opportunity to have your work recognized. The winner will have their piece hung in the halls of the U.S. Capitol for one year.

This year’s theme is “Indiana.” I am looking forward to seeing your creativity and what Indiana means to you. Click here to learn more.
