Making Government Accessible for You
Dear neighbor,
On March 22, I held a town hall meeting with my colleague in the legislature, State Sen. Lonnie Randolph. I want to thank each and every one of you who attended this event to learn about our work at the Statehouse.
I know things in the country are scary right now, and I want to make sure that my office is a resource for you. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please reach out to my office by emailing h1@iga.in.gov. Otherwise, please be on the lookout for notification about the next town hall in the future!
Here are some of the resources I brought to the town hall as well as some additional information about the government so you can be engaged in the process.

I attended the Town Hall meting, I found it very informative. Although I remember how a bill becomes law from high school history, I appreciated you explaining it to those who attended. Many people do not know or understand how it happens. Also I had asked about receiving a couple of the publications listed in the printed material. I received it the next Saturday and will be passing it out at my church this coming Tuesday. Ms Jackson, thank you for all you and your staff do to protect and preserve the state government and its residents
