I am heartbroken to hear about the loss of Officer Brian Elliott of the Beech Grove Police Department. I grew up in Beech Grove, and today I represent parts of the community that raised me. This one hits close to home. Please join me in praying for Officer Elliott’s family, his fellow officers, and everyone grieving this loss. Thank you for your service. You will be remembered.

@BSakbun Agreed

LG-be the bigger person & move on. Move the discussion to issues like rising utility bills, housing costs, public safety, education, or wage growth. I'm annoyed by the constant interparty bickering on both sides. Let's stop with the purity test & start with helping Hoosiers.

@PainPainGoAwa11 @AndrewIrelandIN Agreed!

@AndrewIrelandIN I'm shocked that Marion County isn't on that list.

🚨 If you live in one of the counties below your prosecutor just signed a letter opposing my commonsense “Just Do Your Job” Amendment to help restore accountability in our criminal justice system. It applies the SAME impeachment standard to state-funded prosecutors and trial court judges that nearly every other officeholder is already subject to: They can be removed for crime, incapacity, or negligence by a 2/3s vote of both chambers of our General Assembly. Glad to see 20 counties refused to sign the letter.
