State Sen. Eric Bassler (R-Washington) gathered with fellow legislators Tuesday at the Statehouse for Organization Day – the ceremonial start of the Indiana General Assembly.

Organization Day marks the annual first roll call of all state lawmakers. This day also provides each Senate and House of Representatives caucus with the opportunity to gather before session officially reconvenes in January. By state law, the 2020 session will conclude on or before March 14.

“Each year, I prioritize bringing the concerns and needs of our community to the Statehouse,” Bassler said. “During the fall, I hosted a number of town hall meetings to hear what issues matter most to those in District 39. Among these was a lack of affordable access to health care. To help alleviate this financial burden, I’ll be working with other Indiana legislators this session to provide more health care price transparency and predictability.”

As the 2020 session gets underway, Bassler encourages residents of Senate District 39 to contact him with any questions or comments they may have. Bassler can be reached via email at Senator.Bassler@iga.in.gov or by phone at 800-382-9467.
