SBA Launches Made in America Initiative 

It was wonderful to have Small Business Administrator Kelly Loeffler at Aerodyn Engineering in Indianapolis to announce the Small Business Administration’s new Made in America Manufacturing Initiative. 

Indiana is the most manufacturing intensive state in the country, and I look forward to working with the Trump Administration to support our Hoosier manufacturers.

Supporting Our Law Enforcement and First Responders

I joined my colleagues in cosponsoring two pieces of legislation to better support local law enforcement officers and first responders.

The Invest to Protect Act would help local law enforcement agencies invest in training, recruitment and retention, and mental health support. The bill would also create a special grant program within the Department of Justice (DOJ) to support hiring and resources for agencies with under 175 officers, as the majority of law enforcement agencies in the U.S. have fewer than 175 full-time sworn officers. It requires that the grant application take no longer than 30 minutes to complete so applicants can spend their time protecting their communities instead of navigating bureaucratic red tape.

The Fighting Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Act would direct the DOJ to develop treatment programs for police, fire, and emergency medical and 911 personnel who suffer from PTSD or acute stress disorders.

Notre Dame Visit

Thanks to Notre Dame Football Coach Marcus Freeman and University of Notre Dame Athletic Director Pete Bevacqua for sharing their perspective with senators on the current landscape of college athletics.

Bringing Transparency to Broadband Investment

I joined Senator Rick Scott (R-Fla.) in introducing the bicameral Broadband Buildout Accountability Act, which would increase transparency and protect billions of taxpayer dollars in broadband investment.

Our bill will provide much-needed transparency to ensure that broadband is effectively deployed to unserved communities, helping to close the digital divide for all Americans.

Help for Hoosiers 

Navigating federal agencies can be difficult. My staff and I are here to assist Hoosiers who are having trouble receiving benefits, have questions regarding a program or procedure, or have not heard back from these agencies in a timely manner.
