A Tech Power Playbook for Trump 2.0

I recently authored an essay in the National Interest that laid out a tech power playbook for the new Trump Administration. Tech power — AI, biotech, quantum, drones, and more — is fundamentally transforming our economy, security, and the very nature of global power. The Trump administration can seize on the intersection of the president’s promises and the opportunities for peace, freedom, and prosperity that the dynamic technological revolution presents.

Addressing Postal Service Delays in Indiana

I joined with Congressman Jefferson Shreve (R-IN-6) and the entire Indiana congressional delegation in sending a letter to the United States Postal Service (USPS) to address the ongoing delivery delays at the USPS distribution hub in Indianapolis.

The delays have had real consequences for individuals and businesses across Indiana. Constituents have reported late deliveries of medications, critical financial documents, and essential business shipments. This is primarily reflected in the issues found with the USPS Regional Processing Center on the east side of Indianapolis.

Our letter requests a detailed explanation for why the delays are occurring and specific steps USPS is taking to address the delays.

RFK Jr. Confirmed as HHS Secretary

I voted in favor of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination to be Secretary of Health and Human Services. I believe Mr. Kennedy will lead the Department in restoring trust to public health institutions, encourage innovation to lower health care costs, and improve research on Long COVID.

Mr. Kennedy’s unique leadership on healthy lifestyle choices will benefit countless Americans, and he understands the critical importance of rebuilding trust in our public health institutions. I’ve also received assurances from him that strong pro-life policies will continue to be reinstituted at HHS under his leadership. We spoke extensively about the importance of supporting innovation in health care to both bring down costs and improve treatment. I look forward to working with him to make positive changes for the American people.

Protecting Our Great Lakes

I joined with Senator Gary Peters (D-Mich.) in introducing the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative Act of 2025, legislation to reauthorize the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) through 2031 to help protect and preserve the Great Lakes.

The GLRI is the most significant investment ever made to restore and protect the Great Lakes. The GLRI combines federal and nonfederal efforts to stop the spread of carp and other invasive species, restore coastline and habitats connecting streams and rivers, clean up environmentally damaged Areas of Concern, and prevent future contamination. While providing vital support for these efforts, the GLRI also helps ensure we can address new and emerging threats to the Great Lakes.

The Great Lakes are an important part of Indiana’s ecosystem and economy. The GLRI is a results-driven program that addresses the most serious issues threatening the wellbeing of the Great Lakes basin, including toxic substances, pollution, debris, and invasive species. Reauthorizing this program will continue to protect and preserve these lakes for generations to come.

Visit to Indiana Statehouse

I appreciated the opportunity to address the Indiana Senate and meet with state legislators and Statehouse interns recently. It was also great to share updates with Indiana State Treasurer Daniel Elliott.
