State Rep. Matt Lehman (R-Berne), Majority Floor Leader, issued the following statement following his remarks on the House floor outlining continued goals for the 2026 session.
STATEHOUSE – “We have work to do, and we will do it together. Indiana has a strong record of cutting taxes, passing balanced budgets and maintaining fiscal responsibility. We’ve consistently earned a AAA credit rating from all three major agencies, and our economy is growing faster than all of our neighboring states. Last session, we took key steps to reduce health care costs and those reforms are beginning to take hold. We’ve also continued to prioritize tax cuts for Hoosiers. Last year, between property tax cuts and income tax cuts, we advanced over a billion dollars in tax relief for Indiana families. This session, we plan to continue our work to lower expenses and make life more affordable for Hoosiers, including addressing housing and energy costs.”
