Indiana March For Life

I am inspired by the thousands of people who took part in the March for Life this week.

I’m proud to be a member of the Senate Pro-Life Caucus that works on a wide variety of pro-life issues. Since I came to Congress, I’ve introduced a dozen pro-life bills and cosponsored more than 150 others. I’ve earned an A+ rating from SBA Pro-Life America because I consistently vote to protect unborn life and to stop forcing taxpayers to fund abortion.

This Congress alone, I’ve led or cosponsored 20 pro-life bills. One of my very first actions as a Senator in January last year was pushing for the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. I’ve also worked on legislation to stop forced abortions and to bring transparency to Medicaid funding so taxpayers can actually see how much money goes to abortion providers.

The March for Life is a reminder of why I got into politics: to make real change and stand up for the most vulnerable. I will always fight for the unborn. I’m proud to be in this fight, and I’m not backing down.

Great to be at the 12th Annual Indiana Military Veterans Legislative Day at the Statehouse today. Proud to talk about the work we’re doing on the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee to serve Hoosier veterans.

Visiting James Whitcomb Riley's Home

I really enjoyed touring the “Hoosier Poet” James Whitcomb Riley’s historical home in Lockerbie in downtown Indianapolis today. Sites like this are so important to pass on Indiana’s history to the next generation. A legendary Hoosier!

Meeting With Lieutenant General Frank Donovan

Great to meet this week in my D.C. office with Lieutenant General Frank Donovan, President Trump’s nominee to lead U.S. Southern Command. He’ll play a big role in stopping drug trafficking in the Caribbean and keeping America’s adversaries out of our backyard. I look forward to supporting his confirmation.

Tyler’s Law Passed The Senate HELP Committee

Last week, my bill Tyler’s Law passed unanimously out of the Senate HELP Committee.
Tyler‘s Law directs HHS to study whether hospitals should include fentanyl in routine emergency room drug screens and then issue clear guidance based on the results. Right now, too many standard ER drug tests don’t screen for fentanyl, which can cost someone their life.

The bill is named after Tyler Shamash, a teenager who tragically died after fentanyl poisoning was not screened for in a standard five panel drug test. As a result, he did not receive the level of care he needed.

I want to especially thank Tyler‘s mom, Juli. She turned unimaginable loss into action. I recently met with Juli and am inspired by her dedication and passion. This bill would not be moving forward without her courage and persistence.

I am proud to see this bill move forward and will keep pushing to get it signed into law. Click here to learn more.

Meeting With State Rep. Ryan Lauer

Great to catch up with State Rep Ryan Lauer in Indy. He’s doing great work! 

Veterans History Project

The Veterans History Project (VHP) was created by Congress in 2000 to collect and preserve the first-person narratives from United States military veterans from World War I through present day. Please call my office if you are a Hoosier veteran and would like to sit down and share your service story.
