Indiana's First Congressional District includes Lake, Porter, Jasper, Newton and Benton Counties, and I am honored to represent this unique and diverse area in the House of Representatives.

I also want to hear from you. Please contact me via phone or email to share your opinion on issues that matter to you.

Thank you,
