For anyone who hasn't heard about our grassroots campaign yet, Our State, Our Bat is a citizen led effort to designate our incredible native Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) as our official state mammal! 🦇💚

What started as a simple idea has grown into an amazing statewide movement. Thanks to community members stepping up, we’ve already secured official municipal support, organizational backing, and best of all, a state representative who is officially authoring the bill for the upcoming 2027 legislative session!

Now, we are in the final home stretch. Our petition is currently sitting at 4,231 signatures, and our goal is to hit 5,000 by the end of this month when the campaign concludes, so we can prep our complete legislative packet.

We need all the support we can get from our local neighbors to cross that finish line. If you haven't signed yet, please take a quick second to add your name, and help us spread the word to your friends, family, and local groups.

Let’s make our little Hoosier Heroes official, Indiana! Sign the petition here: https://c.org/JrdDXNvVh8

Houchin RAVES about how she is “saving” you money. But what does that “saving” look like?

Cuts to Medicaid.

Cuts to SNAP.

Cuts to healthcare assistance.

Cuts to programs that help working families, children, seniors, and people living on limited incomes.

When government cuts the programs people depend on, you do not simply stop paying. You pay somewhere else. Under this administration, you pay to big business and private interests. Not government programs that are supposed to help you.

Jeremiah 5:28 says:

“...Their evil deeds have no limit;

they do not seek justice.

They do not promote the case of the fatherless;

they do not defend the just cause of the poor.”

Brad Meyer believes our government should work for people, not private interests. Hoosiers deserve a representative who fights to make life more affordable, not one who calls cuts to essential programs “savings.”
