Dear Friend,
Hoosiers work hard to provide for their families. Unfortunately, it is becoming harder and harder to make ends meet. Today, millions of Americans are living below the poverty line as the gap between the wealthy and the poor continues to grow. This situation is one we must address immediately which is why Congress must make raising the minimum wage and extending unemployment benefits top priorities in 2014.

INDIANAPOLIS, IN — I join countless Americans who today mourn the loss of Congressman Andy Jacobs, Jr.
Congressman Jacobs was family. He served as an invaluable mentor and dear friend to my grandmother, Julia Carson, who he hired to work in his Indianapolis congressional office in 1965. It was Andy's faith and encouragement that inspired my grandmother to run for state representative in 1972, and his support of her never wavered.

Although coming to an agreement has been difficult at times, I am hopeful that we are headed in a positive direction and Congress will again work hand in hand in 2014.
