Indiana State Comptroller Elise Nieshalla

"$36 trillion and climbing. After hearing from state financial officers, Senators took action—declaring America's debt a national security threat. Their ‘Mission Possible’ is now our call to act. Fiscal solvency is essential. The time is now. courierpress.com/story/opinion/…

We just hit $39T in US debt — for the sake of our country, we must unite to tackle this massive threat. It took five months to go from $38T to $39T, while it took 205 years to accumulate the first trillion dollars of debt. #RestoreAmericasFiscalSolvency #BalancedBudget

Thank you ALEC, @GovBraun and State Representative Tim O’Brien for your partnership in building a movement from the states that puts the high beams on our national debt crisis and our absolute need to restore America’s fiscal solvency.

A rare leader for a critical moment. Indiana Comptroller Elise Nieshalla sees the staggering national debt and is uniting leaders to protect our future. 👏 @Comp_Nieshalla indianacapitalchronicle.com/2026/02/17/ind…

It was an impactful day with Governor Braun, legislative leaders and national partners as Indiana leads a movement from the states building support to deal with the $38T national debt and restore our country’s fiscal solvency. #RestoreAmericasFiscalSolvency #IndianaLeads

Indiana’s long-standing fiscal discipline delivers again. Indiana @Comp_Nieshalla reports a $676M surplus, AAA credit, and some of the lowest debt in the nation—reinforcing Indiana’s model of responsible, transparent governance. 📊💪

On Thursday, Senate interns had the opportunity to meet with Comptroller Elise Nieshalla. They learned about her position as an elected official, Indiana's current finances and what they can do as Hoosiers.

A key takeaway from Indiana’s FY 2025 Financial Report — our reserves provide 40 days of operations providing fiscal stability. See the full report for more: in.gov/.../2025-State…... #AtYourService

Indiana is a turnaround state financially! Over two decades ago, we had a 6 cent surplus and over $700M in debt — and now, look what fiscal discipline has yielded… In the Comptroller’s Office, we are #AtYourService, providing the accounting and reporting of Indiana’s funds.

New: Indiana officially ended FY 2025 with a $676 million year-end surplus and $2.5 billion in reserves, per .@Comp_Nieshalla

Indiana proves that fiscal responsibility works. Thanks to decades of commonsense leadership, our state closed last fiscal year with a $676M surplus, $2.5B in reserves, and a AAA credit rating. We’re balancing budgets, cutting taxes, and protecting Hoosier taxpayers for years to come. Read the full report here in.gov/comptroller/fi…

Congrats to @IndianaUniv on bringing home the Football #NationalChampionship Our office has been decked out for IU for decades…as shown by the crepe streamer paper still hanging from the 1987 NCAA Basketball Championship!! (verified by our longest serving staff member)❤️🏈

Applauding Governor Braun’s efforts shared tonight in his #SOTS Address to root out fraud, waste and abuse, and this year the State realized $465 million in savings! It is SO good to be a Hoosier!! 

Our year-end newsletter is out now! From national recognition in financial reporting to Indiana’s leadership on the $38 trillion federal debt crisis, this edition highlights the work we’re doing to strengthen transparency &fiscal responsibility. 🔗:in.gov/comptroller/fi…

Super to see the federal government taking steps to strengthen transparency! In Indiana, we’ve been ahead of the curve — for over a decade the Indiana Transparency Portal has given Hoosiers easy access to state spending, salaries, contracts and more. foxnews.com/politics/feder…

Fiduciary duty is paramount! Grateful for President Trump's EO protecting millions of Americans—just as Indiana has acted to STOP politically-driven proxy voting that puts ESG/DEI over pension returns.

What a treat it was to spend the morning with Jim Merritt and Brad Klopfenstein on Merritt in the Morning discussing Indiana’s finances at the charming Cafe Audrey at Fort Ben! facebook.com/share/p/1AJGnM…

Honored to share my op‑ed in @Governing: Federal Financial Reform and Lessons From Indiana. Indiana overcame its fiscal crisis with discipline—Washington must do the same for our nation’s future. Read here: governing.com/finance/federa…
