2025 Crane Breakfast

It was great to join with so many friends at the annual Crane breakfast in Washington.

Crane Army Ammunition Activity, Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane, and the entire tech ecosystem are leading in defense innovation, supporting our warfighters, and strengthening our national security.

Addressing the Shortage of Mental Health Providers in Schools

I joined Senators Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) and Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) in reintroducing the Mental Health Excellence in Schools Act to address the shortage of mental health providers in schools by boosting the pipeline of graduate students trained to become school psychologists, counselors, and social workers.

Access to mental health resources improves the safety, well-being, and academic success of Hoosier students. Our bill will both support the school-based mental health workforce and address the critical need for these professionals.

Strengthening Cybersecurity of the U.S. Health Care System

I joined Senator Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.) in introducing the Healthcare Cybersecurity Act to bolster the health care and public health sectors’ cybersecurity. This bill would direct the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to collaborate on improving cybersecurity and make resources available to non-federal entities relating to cyber threat indicators and appropriate defense measures. It would also create a special liaison to HHS from CISA to support cybersecurity for health care and public health sector entities.

In recent years, hospitals and other health care facilities in Indiana and across America have experienced a dramatic increase in cyberattacks. Our bill will take critical steps to strengthen cybersecurity infrastructure and better protect patients’ personal data.
