I’m honored to announce that I have received the endorsement of the Indiana Professional Firefighters PAC.

From serving as a police officer to standing alongside our brave men and women on the frontlines as a local elected official and now as a State Senator, I have always had the utmost respect for our first responders. Their commitment to protecting our communities does not go unnoticed, and I am truly humbled to have their support as we continue working to keep our neighborhoods safe and strong.
