INDIANAPOLIS – Today, Vice President JD Vance returned to Indiana in an attempt to persuade Indiana Senate Republicans to agree to a special session to redraw Indiana’s congressional maps. This visit comes after Vance traveled to Indiana in August and several Indiana Republicans visiting the White House to meet with the Trump Administration regarding redistricting.
State Rep. Alex Burton (D-Evansville), issued the following statement regarding Vance’s visit today:
“Hoosiers are not asking for Congressional maps to be redrawn, but plenty are asking for lower utility bills, affordable child care and fixes to Senate Enrolled Act 1. These concerns, plus the reality of a government shutdown clearly showcase priorities.
“The predominance of Washington, D.C. keeps Hoosiers waiting for solutions. Our farmers, municipalities, school districts and hospitals need the legislature to act swiftly. The longer inaction exists, the worse off we all are – which is disastrous for our economy.”
