Washington St. Indianapolis, IN 46204 Re: COVID-19 Response moving forward Governor Holcomb, We want to thank you for the actions you have taken to mitigate the spread of the virus in our state. Our continued actions will hopefully continue to flatten the curve of this virus's spread. Although we do see many Hoosiers staying home to keep people healthy, the continued fight against COVID- 19 has revealed new concerns that we must face together as state leaders. We ultimately want to address three serious concerns: the issue of worker safety, the distribution of PPE across the state and the composition of your Economic Relief and Recovery Team. Your executive order 20-18 made it clear that essential businesses can stay open but must follow social distancing and other CDC guidelines to promote a safe, healthy workplace. These include spacing employees at least six feet apart, providing hand sanitizer and separating vulnerable popu- lations. Unfortunately, a growing number of our constituents are reporting that their workplaces are not following the guidelines in the Executive Order, making them unsafe places at this time. Em- ployees are being forced to work within close proximity of each other, and masks are either not re- quired or not allowed. The evidence of this noncompliance is clear. For example, COVID-19 is spreading rapidly through our steel plants, with cases growing each day.

  • 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).

  • 2018 General Election Report by IBRG (Update15)
    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. Tumultuous Political Environment Nets Solid Election Wins Indiana Business for Responsive Government (IBRG), the non-partisan political action program of the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, scored a very successful general election. 70 of 74 IBRG- endorsed candidates facing opposition were victorious. Twenty-one (21) additional endorsed candidates did not face general election challenges. Considerable excitement and upheaval in the Indiana electorate this mid-term election certainly created rough waves and realignments around the state. However, in the end there were few ultimate changes in the political status quo for both candidates and seats held by the parties. Republicans swept all statewide races by significant margins, led by an unexpectedly large double-digit margin victory by Mike Braun for the U.S. Senate seat. In the General Assembly, Republican majorities took a relatively modest hit, but not enough to lose super-majority status. In the House, three (3) incumbent GOP legislators were defeated, resulting in a net breakdown of a 67-33 GOP majority. In the Senate, the Republican super-majority was reduced by just one seat to 40-10 with the defeat of notorious Sen. Mike Delph (R-Carmel). Although the final tally changed little, the Senate battlefield was intense and involved more competitive races than seen in the last decade. It’s very hard to look at the 2018 midterms in Indiana state legislative races as a “status quo” election, even though the number of seats changing was minimal.

Our courts will now have more options to ensure that only the least restrictive option is used in situations where our fellow Hoosiers need some extra help. Thank you to Indiana Disability Rights, The Arc of Indiana, and Self-Advocates of Indiana for your help in passing this legislation.” “We were happy to represent Jamie Beck in becoming the first person in Indiana to have her guardianship terminated in favor of a supported decision-making agreement; and we are ecstatic that because of her paving the way for this law, others will have the same ability to preserve their independence, their dignity, and their civil rights,” stated Melissa Keyes, Legal Director for Indiana Disability Rights and Jamie’s attorney. “The Arc of Indiana is thrilled to see SEA 380 signed into law,” said Kim Dodson, Executive Director of The Arc of Indiana.
