Congressman Mark Messmer

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

On Silver Star Service Banner Day, we honor the courage and sacrifice of wounded servicemembers and the families that support them.

Welcome Loogootee High School Lions to our nation’s capitol! Wishing you a great rest of your senior year and lots of future success! It’s always a pleasure to host the best and brightest from #IN08!

Hats off to all who helped pass the 2026 Farm Bill in the House of Reps! It’s a huge win for Hoosier farmers and all Americans! I am grateful for the leadership of @CongressmanGT and proud to be part of the team to advance this monumental legislation! hoosieragtoday.com/2026/04/30/hou…

Thank you to my Senate colleagues for introducing the companion to my House bill, the Heat Workforce Standards Act. Our legislation blocks harmful Biden-era workplace heat rules that impose costly and unnecessary mandates on American businesses!

.@USDA’s decision to move SNAP leadership to Indianapolis honors our state’s effective administration of this vital program. I’m confident this transition will serve Americans who rely on SNAP benefits — as well as the taxpayers who fund it.

The House has passed the 2026 Farm Bill & it is a major win for #IN08 Hoosier farmers & rural communities! This bill strengthens the farm safety net & delivers the certainty our farmers need to support our nation & feed the world. May God Bless the American Farmer! 🇺🇸🚜👨‍🌾

It’s time for Congress to pass the 2026 Farm Bill. Let’s get it done! 🇺🇸🚜👨‍🌾

.@SecWar Hegseth agrees with me that #IN08 can and should be a manufacturing powerhouse for the defense industrial base. Check out my discussion with @DeptofWar about investing in workforce development in southwestern Indiana! ⬇️
