REPORTER: So you're saying that it's okay for a President to ask a foreign leader to investigate a political rival and withhold foreign aid to coerce him into doing so?
BRAUN: No, I'm not saying that's okay. I'm not saying that's appropriate. I'm saying that it DIDN'T HAPPEN.

I just had a great call with President Trump! I told him I remain committed to standing with him on the critical issue of passing fair maps in Indiana to ensure the MAGA agenda is successful in Congress. Indianaās State Legislators must show up for work and take a public vote for fair maps to counter the gerrymandering in California and Illinois. But the Indiana State Senate is hiding behind closed doors and refusing to even bring redistricting to a vote. Hoosiers deserve to know where their legislators stand and expect them to show up for work, not walk out and hide in the dark.

As SB1 moves to the House, I want to be clear on a key pointāa real tax cut means taxpayers keep more, and government takes in less. SB1 doesnāt cut taxes for homeowners hit hardest by skyrocketing assessments since 2020āit just slows down how fast their bills will increase next year.
Local governments are set to receive $477 million more in 2026 for a total property tax revenue of $11 billion. The Senate version of SB1 reduces that increase to $238 million, but local government are still getting more than the year before. If your boss cut your raise from 5% to 2%, youād still be making moreāonly politicians would call that a pay cut.
I am open to a discussion balancing the cost pressures from inflation on local government services with tax relief for homeowners, but we canāt lose sight of the fact homeowners have been crushed by inflation in assessed values while local governments have seen a windfall in revenue well beyond inflation.Ā This bill has a long way to go before it gets my signature, and restoring meaningful tax cuts would be a step in the right direction.

Praying for families of those killed in a senseless act of violence in Greenwood tonight, and grateful for the brave armed citizen who took action to stop the perpetrator and prevent further tragic loss of life.

I want to thank everyone who showed up today at the Statehouse to share their concerns about property taxes. I travel all 92 counties each year, and everywhere I go I hear from Hoosiers getting crushed by property taxes. Thatās why I have made this issue a top priority for my administration. Hoosiers have had to tighten their belts the last few years and it is time government did the same!
