Recap: Hoosier Leadership Series’ First Class of 2024

5/15/24

Last month, we held the first class of the 2024 Hoosier Leadership Series. Over 30 students joined us for the inaugural session, where we heard from several IFI administrators as well as Stephanie Kreuz, Director of Sentinel Engagement at the Heritage Action for America, who spoke about legislative activism.

During the class, each student began developing a personal impact plan, which details their strengths and goals moving forward to become an active leader in their community, promoting Christian values and advancing the conservative movement. Thanks to sponsor B23 Strategies, throughout the next several months of the Hoosier Leadership Series, each class member will continue to individually develop their impact plan with the help of IFI’s trusted advisors.

We also heard from IFI’s General Counsel and Church Ambassador Network Director Josh Hershberger, who introduced a practical guide to Biblical citizenship, and former HLS Director Micah Beckwith, about why America is still worth fighting for.

We’re looking forward to the next HLS session happening this month at the Statehouse. Highlights include a tour of the capitol, a personal meet and greet with Comptroller Elise Nieshalla, and a hands-on exercise about how a bill becomes a law. We will also hear from several highly anticipated guest speakers!

While we wish that we could accept visitors during the Statehouse class, unfortunately we are restricted by space in the conference and caucus room and will not be accepting drop-ins. If you’re interested in joining next year’s class, where we will likely hold a similar meeting, please email HLS Director Valerie Swack to join the waiting list: valerie@hoosierfamily.org.

As always, we are incredibly grateful for our sponsors, who help make the Hoosier Leadership Series possible: B23 Strategies, Vertical Immersive, Americans for Prosperity, Adler Law Firm, Ash and Oak, and Samaritan Ministries.

It’s election day!

5/7/24

It’s election day! This is your reminder to make time today to get out and vote. Check your polling location and sample ballot here, and research the candidates you’ll be voting on with iVoterGuide here.

Historically, we know that very few people make the effort to vote in Indiana’s primary elections. This means that today, your vote will have even more power and influence to change the tide of the election when you get out and vote. We need conservative voters to rise up and fill the Statehouse with like-minded Hoosiers now more than ever, with parental rights on the line.

Every vote counts – please encourage your friends and family to vote as well. It’s time for conservative Hoosiers to rise up and make a difference in their community.

Mark your calendars for May 7th – Indiana’s Primary Election

5/2/24

Mark your calendars for May 7th! Indiana’s primary election is quickly approaching – and it’s an important one. We need every single Christian conservative in the state making it to the booths on election day or through early voting. 

This primary, we have several extremely competitive congressional seats up for grabs and it’s essential we fill them with like-minded Hoosiers in order to continue defending life, parental rights, and Christian values in the legislature.

We have several resources available to help you prepare for the upcoming election:

First, we recommend that you double-check your voter registration status through www.indianavoters.in.gov in the lead-up to election day. After you confirm everything is up-to-date, you can plug in your address to find your voting location as well as overview a sample ballot.

Once you have your sample ballot, we highly encourage you to use the resource www.ivoterguide.com in conjunction with our past legislative scorecards to determine who deserves your vote, based on past performance and overall worldview.

Voting in free, fair elections is an incredible privilege, and one we should not take for granted. We have a responsibility to ourselves, our family, and our nation to cast informed votes based on our own personal research. We hope you’ll use this time in the lead-up to the election to evaluate your ballot and decide in advance how you’ll cast your votes.

Share this with your friends and family to encourage them to get out and vote as well!
