  • 2012 Platform Was Drafted After Soliciting Testimony from a Geographically Diverse Range of Hoosiers at Hearings in South Bend, New Albany and Indianapolis
    Preamble We've come a long way in a short time. With a focus and a commitment to serve Hoosier taxpayers, and not special interests, Indiana's Party of Purpose has enacted improvements that have made government smaller and more efficient, improved our state's economy, and ensured Indiana's Comeback continues to move full steam ahead. After years of government spending and debt, Republican leadership balanced the budget without raising taxes. At the same time, services have improved across the state. A leaner state government has actually improved quality. Our Bureau of Motor Vehicles is now a model for efficiency, moving customers through in 10 minutes or less. Major Moves has improved infrastructure by providing a decade worth of funding for projects around the state that had been promised and delayed for decades. Property taxes in Indiana are among the lowest in the nation, having been cut by 30 percent and capped permanently by the voters and by our State Constitution. Along the way, we have lived by a number of simple principles, but atop that list is the fact that Hoosiers know what's best for Hoosiers. We don't ask for, or want, the federal government to interfere with or dictate how we should live our lives. The improvements we have made, together, have come from within, from Hoosiers. We owe a debt of gratitude to Governor Mitch Daniels and Lieutenant Governor Becky Skillman , our dynamic Hoosier duo, who have worked and led to make Indiana a better place to live, work and invest, alongside House Speaker Brian Bosma , Senate President Pro Tempore David Long and our majorities in the House and Senate.

  • Indiana State Senate
    A report to supporters and members of Indiana Business for Responsive Government (IBRG), the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, and allied organizations. This report will be updated as additional election results are received in the hours and days following. Another Election for the Record Books in Indiana Indiana Business for Responsive Government (IBRG), the non-partisan political action program of the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, scored a very successful general election. 48 of 49 IBRG- endorsed candidates facing opposition were victorious, including Republicans and Democrats. Forty-three (43) additional endorsed candidates did not face general election challenges. Twelve (12) new legislators won with IBRG-endorsements. IBRG was significantly-engaged in support of six (6) top-target challenger and open-seat races, as well as successfully defending twelve (12) pro-economy incumbents seriously challenged with defeat. In one of the most dramatic turn of events in years, Republicans won significant battles for state legislative seats across the state to expand their “quorum-proof majorities.” These victories were particularly surprising to those working for months closely in campaigns and candidates, as Indiana’s public opinion environment on issues and views of incumbents was - right up until Election Day - about as bad an environment for Republicans and incumbents as seen in years. This marks the third election cycle in a row that Republicans have expanded their margins in the Indiana House and Senate. The Republicans won a net two (2) seat gain in the Indiana House of Representatives to achieve a 71-29 margin. Four (4) incumbent legislators lost reelection bids in the House (one Republican and three Democrats).

  • State of the Statehouse
    hile elections sometime deliver results that are unexpected (the list is a long one; I’m sure you have your favorite upsets), there are also certain givens leading up to each voting responsibility. Two at the top of the list are: 1. Politicians, or maybe more accurately the people involved in the Wpolitical process, will repeatedly tell us why any election is important. That refrain is amplified in 2010, mostly because it determines who holds the mighty gavel – and pen – the following year. 2. A sea of change is coming, with the party out of power using that mantra to help regain control. The adage applies this time around, but it’s a different type of change than what was experienced two years ago or during the memorable mid-term election of 1994. The Indiana Chamber’s nonpartisan political action committee, Indiana Business for Responsive Government (IBRG), has a focused mission: help elect thoughtful candidates to the Indiana General Assembly who support pro-economy, pro-jobs legislation and initiatives. Jeff Brantley, with 20 years of experience in Indiana in a variety of roles, leads that effort as vice president of political affairs. Kevin Brinegar, Chamber president, has been with this organization for 18 years and involved in the legislative/political process for 30 years. Brinegar uses two key words – power and authority – in addressing topic No. 1. The 2010 election, of course, coincides with the 2010 census. Following the annual people count, the political party that controls the House and Senate in Indiana (and many other states), has the “power and authority to redraw district boundaries.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

  • With Evan Bayh's Surprise Entry, Indiana's Senate Race Has Turned
    With Evan Bayh’s surprise entry, Indiana’s Senate race has turned from red to purple overnight blogs.lse.ac.uk/usappblog/2016/09/19/with-evan-bayhs-surprise-entry-indianas-senate-race-has-turned-from-red-to-purple-overnight/ 9/19/2016 In a traditionally Republican-leaning state, former Democratic Senator Evan Bayh’s bid to get his old job back now means that Indiana may be competitive for the Democrats in the Hoosier’ State’s US Senate election this year. As part of our series on this year’s key Senate races, Andre P. Audette writes that Bayh may not face an easy race. GOP Congressman Todd Young has been relatively insulated from any negative effects flowing from having Donald Trump at the top of the ticket, and Bayh has already faced accusations that he no longer maintains his Indiana connections. The highest profile races in Indiana in the 2016 election cycle were both defined by sudden changes to the ballot: the gubernatorial race when Mike Pence (a Republican) left the race to run as Donald Trump’s vice president, and the senatorial race when former Democratic Senator Evan Bayh shocked Hoosiers by jumping into the race at the last minute, replacing Baron Hill as the Democratic nominee. The latter race promises to be hotly contested as control of the US Senate hangs in the balance. Bayh’s entrance changed most political rankings of the Senate seat from “safe Republican” to a toss-up or even leaning Democratic, which is reflected in most polls showing Bayh leading his opponent, Congressman Todd Young, by a comfortable margin.

  • OCE Referral Regarding Rep. Marlin Stutzman
    CONFIDENTIAL Subject to the Nondisclosure Provisions of H. Res. 895 of the 110th Congress as Amended OFFICE OF CONGRESSIONAL ETHICS UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES REPORT Review No. 16-3645 The Board of the Office of Congressional Ethics (the “Board”), by a vote of no less than four members, on August 26, 2016, adopted the following report and ordered it to be transmitted to the Committee on Ethics of the United States House of Representatives. SUBJECT: Representative Marlin Stutzman NATURE OF THE ALLEGED VIOLATION: In August 2015, Representative Marlin Stutzman, his wife, and his two children traveled to Los Angeles, California, for a five-and-a- half day trip. Representative Stutzman used funds from his Senate campaign committee to pay for the family’s airfare and rental vehicle. While in California, Representative Stutzman had three campaign meetings over a two-day period; he and his family also engaged in a number of personal activities, including a visit to Universal Studios and tours of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and the Reagan Ranch. If Representative Stutzman used campaign funds to pay for a personal family trip, then he may have violated federal law and House rules prohibiting the use of campaign funds for personal purposes. RECOMMENDATION: The Board recommends that the Committee on Ethics further review the allegation that Representative Stutzman used campaign funds for personal purposes, as there is substantial reason to believe that campaign funds were used to pay for a personal family trip to California. VOTES IN THE AFFIRMATIVE: 5 VOTES IN THE NEGATIVE: 0 ABSTENTIONS: 0 MEMBER OF THE BOARD OR STAFF DESIGNATED TO PRESENT THIS REPORT TO THE COMMITTEE ON ETHICS: Omar S.
