Robert and Mrs. Joanne Orr, Gov. of Indiana from 1980-88; and Ambassador to Singapore U.S. SENATE RACE Sen. Lugar has scared all of the big Democrats out of running.

Two other possible Democrat candidates are former Rep. Jim Jantz and South Bend Mayor Joe Kernan. U.S. HOUSE OF REPS 7 Democrats 3 Republicans The IN GOP feels that there are two vulnerable seats in their state: 2nd district (Phil Sharp) 8th district (Frank Mccloskey) Ann Devore is the current frontrunner for the 2nd district. She currently holds the position of Auditor of State and is finishing out her second 4-year term. She has filed and is raising money but has not officially announced. Page 1 of 31 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu There are three good candidates for the 8th district who all come from Evansville: o Les Shibley (appears to be the front runner) o Jeff Devine o Mike Roberts STATE HOUSE The Republicans just missed taking the House back by 1500 votes in six races. They have made this a priority for 1994. The Senate is safely GOP. state Senate - 50 seats 1992 22 Ds 28 Rs 1988 24 Ds 26 Rs 1984 24 Ds 26 Rs State House - 100 seats 1992 55 Ds 45 Rs 1990 52 Ds 42 Rs 1988 50 Ds 50 Rs There are four statewide seats open next year: o Secretary of state o Auditor of State o State Treasurer o Clerk of the Supreme Court ISSUES o River Boat Gambling - The legislature passed this in July during a Special Session (called because there was no budget) . There will be a referendum on the boat gambling this fall. o Medicaid - In Indiana, is has grown 20% per year for the past five years to the extent of a $700 million shortfall. o As there was not state budget, a special session of the state legislature was called. The Governor Evan Bayh wanted to raise taxes to the tune of $250 million. Republicans fought tooth and nail and were successful in combating the Governor's proposal. Gov. is expected to present another tax bill in January of '94. (NOTE: When the last GOP Governor left office, there was a surplus fund of $800 million. It is completely gone - Democrats have been spending $1 million a day more than is taken in during the last five years!)

    Remarks as prepared for delivery by The Honorable Dan Coats Director of National Intelligence Annual Threat Assessment Opening Statement Tuesday, January 29, 2019 Chairman Burr, Vice-Chairman Warner, and Members of the Committee... I am here today, along with leaders of the Intelligence Community, to provide you an overview of the national security threats facing our nation. But before I do, I would like to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of the men and women that make up the Intelligence Community. Their efforts rarely receive public recognition because of the nature of the work that they do. But their unheralded contributions play a critical role in the national security of our great nation, and I am proud to represent them. 1 Annual Threat Assessment, January 29, 2019 I also want to express on behalf of the entire IC our appreciation to the members of this committee. The Intelligence Community appreciates your support and values our partnership. [PAUSE] My goal today is to responsibly convey to you and the American people, in this unclassified hearing, the true nature of the threat environment without overstating some of the more significant challenges we currently face and expect to contend with in the coming year… In the interest of time, I also would refer you to my Statement for the Record for a more complete threat picture. As I stated in my recent remarks during the release of the National Intelligence Strategy, we face significant changes in the domestic and global 2 Annual Threat Assessment, January 29, 2019 environment that have resulted in an increasingly complex and uncertain world, and we must be ready to meet 21st century challenges and recognize emerging threats.

  • 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.
