And now reports of several of my constituents shot at a park in my district. God damn it. Where can we go to be free of this madness? The mall? No. The park? No. School? No. Movie theaters, concerts, or supermarkets? No no no.
The extreme Republican supermajority (representing the minority viewpoint) set Indiana back 50 years with the push of a button. My mom taught me when you see someone being hurt, you stand up and fight. That’s what I did yesterday on the House floor and I’ll never stop.

@RightToWork
(For Less) recently sent me a letter urging me to support laws that limit “Indianans” ability to organize. I don’t know what the hell an Indianan is, but I will always support a HOOSIER’S right to form and join a union.

As a reminder, these ridiculously long lines are the direct result of the Republican member of the Election Board refusing to increase the number of early voting sites. That member was appointed by my opponent.

Brittany and I just had a beautiful baby girl. I’m incredibly dismayed that she will grow up in a society where she has one fewer fundamental Constitutional right than her mother and grandmothers.
I was just told in a Facebook comment that if I didn’t want the CITY PARK and it’s visitors to be shot up it shouldn’t be such a soft target. Let me guess, the park needs fewer unlocked doors?
Hoosiers deserve some relief at the pump, especially when our state is hoarding over $6 billion of THEIR money. That’s why today, I passed out $15 gas cards to my neighbors and spoke to the press about the need to temporarily suspend the gas tax for the summer.
I think I’ve officially made it. Saw the first negative mail piece about myself. It says I supported a $91M tax increase. The source? A 2011 FB post where I said I voted yes on the Franklin Twnshp school referendum. My opponent is in trouble.
It’s too soon to assess what could’ve been done to prevent this specific incident, but what should be abundantly clear is that as a society - AND AS A GOVERNMENT- we are utterly failing at addressing gun violence. Clearly, new approaches are urgently needed.
In Roads Committee this morning, I gladly voted “yes” to allow displaced Ukrainians to receive IN driver’s licenses and ID cards so they can live and work and support their families in safety and peace while they’re here with us.
I didn’t expect my 1st real vote to be so unnecessarily partisan. I’m immunocompromised. Loved ones at risk. Same story with many Reps, Rs & Ds. Deputies are used to putting their lives on the line to serve. Just didn’t think I’d have to do it here, too.
The House is defeating a mask mandate for lawmakers right now along party lines, with the GOP against. Democrats say wearing a mask makes everyone safer; Republicans say it should be a recommendation and not subject to punishment.
Very honored to welcome my good friend Princess Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge as our special guest for our canvass kick-off in Beech Grove on Saturday!

Today, I tried to save the lives of kids in homes with unsecured guns. We can protect our children and respect our rights…we just have to find the political will.

: "As a firearms enthusiast, law enforcement officer, & 2nd Amendment proponent I, & those like me, understand that guns need to be stored securely. I don't know where opposition to this policy would come from, but it isn't from responsible gun owners."
"Law enforcement generally is opposed to the bill, and it's not because the law enforcement profession is a bastion for liberalism, but it's because it has serious negative implications for what we do every day," Gore said.
It’s National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day. As a reminder, you can’t appreciate law enforcement and be okay with any aspect of what happened at the US Capitol. They’re mutually exclusive. Source: am LEO.
Today, I filed to continue serving my neighbors as their State Rep! It has been an honor to be the voice of the Eastside and Beech Grove in the Indiana House. Special thanks to
@VoteforKoach
for accepting my filing! Help me continue our progress:
Brittany made me fix cinnamon rolls with our chili tonight. It’s common in certain parts of our state, apparently. I’m whipping votes now to outlaw it.
In the richest nation on earth, in the middle of a pandemic, the House just voted down a moderate increase in aid to food banks along party lines. “[The government] gives away more $ than this to businesses in the blink of an eye.” -Rep. Pryor
This week, a bill I co-authored passed the House! HB 1043 decriminalizes hemp flower. Finally, Hoosier farmers will be able to grow and sell the whole hemp plant. This bill will help all Hoosiers who rely on CBD to address anxiety, stress, or PTSD - especially our veterans.
I was so proud to sign off on my two bills to increase public safety after they passed the Senate earlier this week.
House Bill 1021 will make Hoosier Veterans safer by establishing a “Green Alert” to notify law enforcement and the public that a Veteran has been reported
To my neighbors, family, and friends who entrusted me to serve another term as their State Representative I say THANK YOU!
To honor your support, I swear to be relentless in my pursuit of policies that lift up our side of town, our state, and its people.

, and Rep. Ragen Hatcher. Earlier this week, they attended the largest convening of legislators on gun violence prevention in our country’s history and are bringing the fight back to Indiana ahead of session.
Y’all, help me thank Mackenzie and her mom, Amy. They’ve spent the pandemic distributing hand-painted inspirational rocks to our neighbors just to cheer them up! We should all be as selfless as this little girl.
Brittany and I are thinking about those who lost their lives at the Indianapolis FedEx facility last night. They didn’t deserve this. Their loved ones, coworkers, and the first responders don’t deserve the unimaginable trauma they’re going through now.
With their loss in Kansas, the GOP here may attempt to pass an abortion bill that leaves many saying “it could’ve been worse” to save themselves in November. NEVER FORGET, with Roe gone, they can change it year after year. The only solution is to beat them at the ballot box.
State Senator Jean Breaux never lost her love for her neighbors or her deep commitment to her district. I’ll miss her kind smile. Rest in Peace, Senator, and may your mother and family find more peace in the days ahead.
Big shoutout to my House Page today, Logan K., who joins us from Beech Grove Middle School! I’m grateful to each young person who steps up to learn about our state and the legislative process.
Keep the families of those we lost in your thoughts tonight along with the citizen who did what they had to do to protect their neighbors and the people and first responders who witnessed yet another tragic instance of gun violence in our community.

I and my Democratic colleagues have been asking for this for over three months so we could suspend gas taxes OR increase tax refund amount. A little late, but I’m glad we’ll return some of the $6 billion we’ve been hoarding to working Hoosier families!
Today I signed a proclamation calling a special session for the General Assembly to take action to return more than $1 billion of state reserves to Hoosier taxpayers.
The Speaker has stepped out leaving Rep. Negele to lead the chamber. So now every member begins their remarks with “MADAM Speaker…”. It feels good to say those words!
There really aren’t words that fully encapsulate the outrage I feel watching the Tyre Nichols body cam footage. It’s plain that those former cops operated as their own street gang dealing justice as they saw fit.
A lot of fun has been made of the absence of the princess from public duties, including by me, but I sincerely hope she continues to recover and that her family has the peace and privacy they deserve during this time.
Last week, I voted to ban AI-generated "intimate images," commonly known as AI revenge porn.
As access to artificial intelligence grows faster than regulation can keep up, AI-generated nude images of real people pose a serious threat to Hoosiers. While revenge porn is already

I have spoken with the Leath family to express my sympathy and frustration with this appalling sentence. I’ve committed to them that I’ll explore all legislative remedies to ensure this never happens again.

Reckless driving is becoming a crisis in Indianapolis. The good news is that, unlike violent crime, bad driving occurs out in the open, in predictable places, and there are relatively simple options for addressing it.

Ours is a public safety family. Whether in law enforcement or working for domestic violence service providers, we’ve seen how abusers keep their victims pregnant to keep them at home, diminish their ability to join the workforce, and generally repress their freedom.

The Board’s decision to expand early voting must be unanimous. Earlier this year, the sole R actually wanted fewer sites than last year. The Ds has to fight hard just for the handful we have. Don’t look for rationale, it’s plain voter suppression.
What her mom went through to bring her into the world is also fresh in my mind. Pregnancy is a long process that can take a serious toll on a woman’s health. Brittany was in the hospital for ten days battling postpartum preeclampsia.
