Federal funding doesn’t begin with a check from Washington. It begins with local communities doing the groundwork. That was our focus in Shelby County as we looked ahead to 2027 Community Project Funding. If your town has a project on the drawing board —now’s the time to talk with our team. #IN06

At @HoopsHall in New Castle, I met with Hoosiers to discuss 2027 funding for roads, water and sewer upgrades, and first responder equipment. I’ve advanced $56 million for 6th District projects this Congress. Our communities set the priorities. My job is to help secure the dollars to get it done. #IN06

Caring for our neighbors takes skill, patience, and compassion. Last week, I visited Envive Healthcare in Beech Grove, formerly St. Paul Hermitage, to hear from the team providing nursing care and rehabilitation for Hoosiers. Thanks to Ben Wells for the tour and to the nursing staff for the work they do every day for our neighbors and their families. #IN06

Strong schools and a strong local economy go hand in hand. In the Columbus area, the Community Education Coalition brings educators and employers together to connect education and training with the skills our businesses need. I met with Dr. Jim Roberts and Ashley Dieter to discuss that work: helping Hoosiers prepare for careers and helping local employers find the talent they need to grow. #IN06

Scott Allman of Zeller Insurance in Columbus stopped by our Bartholomew County office hours to discuss legislation affecting the insurance industry. Hearing directly from local professionals helps me understand how decisions in Washington affect our businesses and the Hoosiers they serve. #IN06

That “local” Indiana number calling you may not be local at all. SIM boxes route overseas calls through hundreds of SIM cards, making scammers look like neighbors. Today I introduced the Stop SIM Box Scams Act to ban these devices and help federal agencies keep them out of our country. Take away the tool. Limit the calls. #StopScams

Our neighbors in Connersville, Cambridge City and New Castle face a long recovery from last month’s floods. I’ve visited these communities, and my team and I are staying engaged as they rebuild. My September newsletter covers those visits, the October 25 deadline to apply for FEMA assistance, and more from across our district.
