Entry Description
STATEHOUSE – Indiana Legislators were sworn in today, Organization Day, marking the first meeting of the 118th General Assembly. All 100 members of the House, including 19 new Republicans, were sworn in by Chief Justice Brent Dickson.
“Just like a responsible family, we will sit together at our desks on the House floor and in the committee rooms of this building – and work through the monumental issues facing our state," said newly re-elected Speaker of the House, Brian C. Bosma (R-Indianapolis).
State Representative Don Lehe (R-Brookston) was re-elected to represent House District 25, which includes portions of White, Cass, Carroll, Tippecanoe and Clinton counties.
“I am grateful for the opportunity to serve the people of District 25,” Rep. Lehe said. “The upcoming session will be about building on the solid foundation created last session and continuing to keep Indiana’s fiscal atmosphere as an example of prosperity for the rest of the nation. I look to make strategic investments and restorations when it comes to our fiscal picture this year.”
In October, the House Republican Caucus released their legislative agenda, making it clear that their focus will be on financial integrity, jobs and education. That focus was echoed today as the 69 House Republicans prepared for the upcoming session with a resolve to accomplish those priorities and continue to propel Indiana to be a state where Hoosiers have the ability to own their American Dream.
“Hoosiers know how to work hard and take pride in their accomplishments, and rightly so,” said Rep. Lehe. “It has taken perseverance and a determination to succeed to make Indiana the great state we’re all so thankful to be a part of.”
