Each year, I fight to bring federal funding directly to Indianapolis organizations making a positive impact on our community. This program, called Community Project Funding, has helped our roads, our public transit, our schools, and our families.

This year, I’m proud to announce securing $10 million to worthy projects throughout Indianapolis. Our city is full of individuals and organizations making a difference – and this funding will boost their efforts and shape a stronger, more equitable place for all.

In March of 2010, the Affordable Care Act, or “Obamacare,” was signed into law. 14 years later, it’s still making an impact. 

Happy International Women’s Day and Women's History Month! Women have always shaped our society, but their accomplishments are often minimized or excluded from history. Women’s History Month is about highlighting and celebrating those successes, but it’s also about recognizing the ways women experience unequal treatment so that we can begin to make progress. 

Last week, Indy was more alive than ever as we celebrated the NBA All-Star Game and the importance of basketball to Indiana. With opportunities to get custom All-Star sneakers, attend concerts, and see an amazing art exhibition curated by GANGGANG, there was something for everyone. 

My progressive colleagues and I made student debt cancellation a priority. We have collaborated with activists and borrowers, pushing for executive action to cancel student debt. I cheered when President Biden announced his plan to cancel up to $20k in student loan debt for 43 million people and after the Supreme Court struck it down, was quick to call for the President to use all other powers he has to get Indianapolis residents the relief they so desperately need. 

A lot has changed in 84 years, but one thing hasn’t – the sacred promise of Social Security. 
 

It’s simple – if you have to pay your taxes, so should the ultra-wealthy.
 

There’s one issue on nearly every American’s mind: the economy.

It’s not hard to see why. Whether it’s getting a new job or making sure you’re paid fairly for the job you have – combined with the fluctuating costs of groceries, housing, gas, and other bills – the economy impacts every aspect of our day-to-day lives.

I know Americans are feeling the strain. But the good news is that the economy is getting better. Democrats are working hard to provide more financial freedom for working families, and making sure that you can save money on everyday items right now.
