"Energy or defense,
it’s all about economic development. Our goal is to help Indiana
companies gain greater access to federal dollars. Through a sound and
well-balanced energy policy, we also seek to grow our economy by finding
ways to use homegrown energy resources. In these ways, we will grow
the number of jobs for Hoosiers."
