Great conversations with Hoosiers invested in improving health care and public health in Indiana at our Meet and Greet in Bloomington! Thank you Senator Shelli Yoder Destiny Wells and Thomas Horrocks For Indiana 62 for coming, and to the Cascades Inn for generously hosting! Carrie Rouse Haley Pritchard, MD, MS

Once again, Republican Leadership of the General Assembly has failed to prioritize the pressing environmental issues Indiana faces in our Legislative Study Committees. I will continue pushing for sensible air and water quality legislation and to study these important topics.

On/after Wed, May 22, S.R. 45 will close over Indian Creek for a bridge rehabilitation project in Monroe Co. The closure is expected to take up to ten weeks, weather permitting. The detour follows S.R. 445 to I-69 to S.R. 45.

Indiana is accepting written public comment through July 5 on Duke's rate hikes. I urge Hoosiers to weigh in on how this proposal will affect their pocketbook and families. You can email comments directly to [email protected] or contact the IOUCC here: in.gov/oucc/contact-u…

Duke wants to raise electricity rates + increase bills by 33%. I wrote to the IOUCC with Rep. Pierce requesting a field hearing in Bloomington so Monroe County residents can make their voices heard on this proposal. Stay tuned for ways to share your opinion on this rate hike!

Join me, CAC Indiana and Ben Inskeep for our webinar: Dirty Duke's Rate Case: What You Need to Know - register here - us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

I fought hard against SB 202 because I knew this bill would lead to academic censorship. I'm glad to see the ACLU step in. Legislators cannot dictate university curriculum to satisfy a partisan agenda.

The Indiana Commission for Women is accepting nominations for the 2024 Torchbearer Awards. If you wish to nominate accomplished women in your communities, do so here by May 24: in.gov/icw/initiative…

I support this lawsuit and I call on IU to rescind these unjust bans as soon as possible. Hardworking students, staff and faculty deserve so much better than blatant attacks on their free speech.

Extremist groups are demanding access to medical records from the State. Given the very few abortions performed in IN, there is great risk that those who receive this care could be identified. Patients deserve to have their privacy respected and protected. bit.ly/3WlSun1

This International Workers Day, I'm supporting Bricklayers Local 4 who are protesting IU's attacks on free speech & advocating for equal pay for the subcontractors renovating Wright Quad. Organized labor is key to securing living wages, workplace safety and rights for ALL of us!

I am deeply concerned with the arrests of students, staff and faculty for exercising their First Amendment rights in Dunn Meadow on IU Bloomington's campus. Read my full statement here: bit.ly/44kpUnK

Please join myself, Mayor Thomson, City Councilor Asare, and County Councilor Crossley for a townhall event this weekend! All are welcome!

I had such a fantastic time attending the Indiana Grown event yesterday! I will always support our independent farmers - rural and urban - as they nourish and provide quality food for our communities.

Today, let's remember our shared goal of bettering our natural world, so all people can eat healthy foods, drink clean water and reach their full potential, no matter their background. The fight for the environment is ultimately one for our people. bit.ly/3QdsKVS
