Our combat-wounded veterans have sacrificed so much in service to our country, and they deserve the full benefits they have earned.
The Major Richard Star Act would ensure these veterans receive all the pay and benefits they deserve. Congress needs to get this legislation across the finish line.

Following the election on Tuesday night, I’ve spent time talking with a variety of folks from across our state and will continue to do so. Hoosiers want what I want: government at every level intently focused on deliverables — honest governance, more economic opportunity, lower prices, and a safer country. These are simple priorities but essential to helping families and restoring trust. Let’s get back to work.
We have a great opportunity in the lame duck session to restore a small amount of trust by banning Members of Congress from trading stocks. I've been talking about this for many months, and it should be a no-brainer.

Good news for Allen County: more than $1 million in new federal funding will help improve railroad crossing safety by building a new pedestrian bridge in New Haven.
I supported this initiative to address longstanding rail crossing challenges and improve public safety.

Last week, our team joined @RepJimBaird, officials from the U.S. Treasury Department, local chambers of commerce, and @PurdueResFound for a tour of @Saab's manufacturing facility in West Lafayette.
Saab’s work supports good-paying Hoosier jobs, strengthens America’s defense industrial base, and is another way Indiana is contributing to our national security.
China continues to invest in maritime power, and we can’t afford to fall further behind. It’s time to pass the SHIPS Act and revive American shipbuilding.

Adoption is a beautiful, life-changing gift, and this month we raise awareness and celebrate forever families.
Access to affordable fertilizer is critical for Hoosier farmers. I supported this project to help produce more fertilizer at home and reduce our reliance on foreign suppliers. Thank you @SecRollins for your partnership to bring this investment to Indiana.

With the launch of the Midwest UAS Test Site, Indiana is uniquely positioned to develop and manufacture the drones of the future and help unleash American drone dominance.
Appreciate the partnership with @DeptofWar and @SecArmy to make Indiana a national leader in drone testing and development.
Wednesday, @SECNAV Hung Cao, many other top @DeptofWar leaders, and I attended the Northeast Indiana Defense Summit, where Hung delivered outstanding keynote remarks.
Under the leadership of @POTUS and @SecWar we have torn down bureaucratic red tape to deliver Soldier-ready products faster. There in Indiana, I was honored to announce two brand new ranges that will be part of our innovative test range concierge service (testrange.army.mil) to Camp Atterbury and Muscatatuck.
Thanks to @SenatorBanks, @SenToddYoung, and @NationalGuardIN for driving this capability for the Army and for our industry partners.
Warfighting modernization at the speed of American innovation right here in Indiana.
In 1911, the Johnson brothers of Terre Haute designed, built, and flew what is recognized as the first successful monoplane in the U.S. More than a century later, an unbroken line connects their Hulman Street workshop to Indiana's latest aviation leadership as a federal drone test site based in Terre Haute.

“Americans need U.S.-flagged ships to carry goods through hostile waters, but the U.S. has allowed its Merchant Marine to dwindle to the point that it can no longer play that role…the United States must rebuild its sea power, not just its naval power.”
Congress needs to pass my SHIPS Act now to restore America’s sea power and maritime strength.

Drone technology critical to our national security will be built and tested in Indiana. Our skilled Hoosier workforce and research institutions will help unleash American drone dominance.

Today in Terre Haute, we officially launched the Midwest UAS Test Site of Indiana, one of only nine federally designated drone test sites in the nation.
Working with @GovBraun, I helped spearhead the effort to locate this site in our state. With our world-class research institutions, defense assets, manufacturing capabilities, and skilled workforce, Indiana is uniquely positioned to develop and manufacture the drones of the future and help unleash American drone dominance.
