Chairman's Corner: Giving Thanks
Nov 27, 2014 Chairman's Corner Indiana Republican Party

While fellow Hoosiers gather with friends and family today to give thanks, our party has a lot to be thankful for this year too.

So we decided to make a list of the top five things Indiana Republicans can be thankful for including:

1. Outstanding Republican Leadership
It's great to be a Republican and it's great to be a Hoosier. Thanks to conservative Republican leadership, Indiana remains the fiscal envy of the nation as other states operate in the red and the national deficit keeps growing. Gov. Mike Pence has kept Indiana moving forward as #AStateThatWorks and proven himself as a strong steward of our tax dollars. 

2. Sweeping Statewide GOP Victories
Hoosier voters sent Secretary of State Connie Lawson and Auditor of State Suzanne Crouch back to the Statehouse and elected Kelly Mitchell to serve as Treasurer of State. These three qualified and dedicated candidates celebrated a historic win as Indiana's first all-female statewide ticket.thankupumpkinpie

3. Clenching Supermajorities in the Indiana General Assembly (Again)
In the Indiana House of Representatives, the split is now 71-29 making it the largest majority seen by either party in 40 years. It's now 40-10 in the Indiana Senate which is a majority size not seen in over 60 years.

4. Encouraging National GOP Gains
Voters sent a clear message to Washington, D.C., about their distaste for the lack of leadership among Democrats and President Obama's failing policies. In January, Republicans will once again have control of the U.S. Senate and the new GOP House will have the largest majority in nearly a century. Hoosier voters also re-elected all of Indiana's Republican members of Congress. 
 
5. Giving Volunteers and Donors
Our state's grassroots network and generous donors came out in force this year to support our candidates and keep Indiana moving in the right direction. Volunteers made more than 1.5 million calls to voters, knocked on thousands of doors and helped us spread the Republican message.   

Thank you to all of those who made this year a success for our party and our state.

On this special day, we must also not forget to give thanks to our veterans and military servicemembers for protecting our nation and our liberties.  

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us here at state party!
