Organization Day at the Statehouse
Tuesday, I took the oath of office, beginning a new term as the State Senator representing District 39.
Following the formal swearing-in ceremonies, the Indiana General Assembly convened for the first time leading up to the 2019 legislative session.
Organization Day, as it’s commonly called, provides legislators an opportunity to meet with other lawmakers and staff to discuss legislative topics. The 2019 legislative session will reconvene Jan. 3 and, by law, must end no later than April 29.
During the upcoming session, lawmakers will craft the state’s next two-year budget, which will fund all state government services.
