As we continue in #NationalHispanicHeritageMonth, I encourage all individuals to explore the wonderful resources available below that pay tribute to the generations of Hispanic Americans who have positively influenced and enriched our nation and society. hispanicheritagemonth.gov

This reckless action undermines efforts to establish a sustainable aviation fuel blending hub in East Chicago, a project that would reduce harmful emissions, strengthen domestic manufacturing, and open new markets for American workers and businesses. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/22/m...

Wishing everyone celebrating #RoshHashanah in Northwest Indiana a sweet and happy new year.

Spoke on the House floor to highlight my meeting with the More Action for Students organization in NWI. It’s clear these young people are not waiting for the future to arrive. They’re shaping it and laboring to build a society that is more just, inclusive, and responsive to the needs of all people.

As a member of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, and Science, I am grateful for the opportunity to advocate for and include these federal funding requests for Northwest Indiana’s brave members of law enforcement.

It was a pleasure to greet students on their way to class recently at the Indiana University Northwest campus in Gary! I wish all the students the best and great success in your studies this year!

On the anniversary of September 11, 2001, we remember the thousands of innocent lives lost and honor the brave first responders who risked their lives to save others.  As we go forward, let us recommit to eliminating our differences to bring our region, our state, and our country together.

Political violence has absolutely no place in our discourse.  Let us go forward with peace as a nation. My thoughts and prayers are with Charlie Kirk and his family.

Appreciate the opportunity to meet with members of the Indiana Farm Bureau and see the current crop conditions at Herr Farms in Lowell recently. Grateful for your dedicated contributions to the strength of our region’s agricultural economy.

Today in the House Appropriations Committee markup, I reached across the aisle to urge the Trump Administration to restore full staffing for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), a critical federal program that helps working Americans afford utility costs.

Why are the tax benefits for working families temporary, but handouts for billionaires and the privileged are permanent? Communities in Northwest Indiana are struggling with increasing costs and know it’s because the Republican so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill” is unfair toward working families.

I grew up playing in Gibson Woods, & am proud that NWI is home to such incredible environmental wonders for residents & visitors. I applaud the leaders with Lake County Parks and Recreation for this initiative to enhance & improve access to Gibson Woods in Hammond. mrvan.house.gov/media/press-...

For generations, members of the United Steelworkers in Northwest Indiana have operated Gary Works, the largest integrated steel mill in North America, and they deserve a seat at the table where decisions about their livelihoods are being made.

On #LaborDay we remember the generations of union workers who fought for fair wages, safety, and dignity on the job. I will continue to stand with members of organized labor today and everyday in the fight for superior working conditions across our region. #Solidarity

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝗺𝘆 𝘄𝗵𝘆: Jake, a senior at EC Central High School with a 3.5 GPA, dreams of going to college to earn a Business degree. His Medicaid waiver provides the wraparound services he needs to succeed - services now at risk. I’m fighting for Jake, his healthcare, and his future.

As we celebrate the 105th anniversary of the 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote, our fight for equality continues. From equal pay to reproductive rights, we must ensure that women have the right to make their own decisions about their bodies, futures, and economic opportunities.

I am thrilled to announce that the 2025 Congressional App Challenge is now open to students attending middle and high school who are interested in coding and technology.

One-power rule and extremism doesn’t get the results that look out for all of the residents of Indiana, and it doesn’t take into account the diversification of beliefs and being able to find the results in the best bipartisan way. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/17/u...

Thank you to the students at Uthiverse in Gary for welcoming me to discuss your new business ventures. I wish you all the best and continued success!

I submitted testimony to the ITC today because our trade laws are crucial in protecting our thriving steel industry from other countries flooding our markets, pushing workers out of a job, & putting our industries out of production.

No matter what district they put me in, I will fight for working class people. I will fight for fair education. I will fight for access to healthcare & Medicare. And I will not allow our most vulnerable to be left behind. Watch my full remarks at our press conference here: youtu.be/ILfUQWFVSdo?...

My mission throughout my career as a public servant and as a Member of the U.S. House is to advocate for the most vulnerable in our communities. Any attempt to redistrict now is simply an attempt to silence those very voices. mrvan.house.gov/media/press-...

From our recent roundtable discussion I think the message is clear:  We do things efficiently here in the region, and cuts to Medicaid will devastate the ability of providers to deliver care.

Thank you to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the leaders of the City of Portage for their collaborative efforts to complete these vital upgrades to our water infrastructure. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/07/31/p...

Thank you to @budzinski.house.gov, all of our colleagues in the @newdems.bsky.social, and all of the participants today for this discussion on how we can continue to collaborate together to create more work and wealth in Northwest Indiana and communities across our country.

I thank all of the representatives from our region’s CMHCs and FQHCs for the invaluable services that they provide and for participating in this timely roundtable discussion.  I look forward to continuing to partner with you and will not back down in advocating to reinstate these cuts to Medicaid.

Appreciate the opportunity to meet with Amina Taylor and the enthusiastic students at Amina’s Beauty College recently in Merrillville. I thank you for your contributions to our regional economy and wish you all continued success!
