Don't talk the talk if you won't walk the walk.
Mayor Joe Hogsett rode a 'Mr. Clean' image into office. Did he deliver on ethics promises? He wouldn't assess his own record. So we did it for him. indystar.com/story/news/inve…

Congratulations @CommonCauseGA from the first state to reject mid-cycle redistricting. #FairMaps
We did it! We STOPPED Georgia lawmakers from drawing rigged maps and destroying Black voting power. From day one, Common Cause’s 1 million members pushed back, first in Indiana and now in Georgia. These victories are possible when we all unite for a multi-racial democracy.

Good question.
Hundreds of Hamilton County voters were turned away on Election Day because they went to the wrong polling location. 72 of Indiana’s 92 counties offer open-to-all Voting Centers. But HamCo doesn’t. Why? ⬇️

Senator Greg Walker will be missed.
Former IN Sen. Greg Walker lost his primary after opposing last year’s redistricting push. He says he has no regrets: “I made the right choice.” Public service and fairness requires standing by principle, even at a political cost. Read more: bit.ly/4d82Xco

Tell them Susan Lerner and @CommonCauseNY! #truth
"This is what happens when the government gives into private equity to enrich the already-rich... @GovKathyHochul must not impose programs without input from the affected community. And when the affected community cries out and says, "this is not working," she must be responsive as an elected official." Susan Lerner, Executive Director, @CommonCause NY

"Pushing early voting later in October prevents college students from voting at home during fall break." A public comment like this has been sidestepped as the amendment slithered in to HB 1359. 😡
Sen. Mike Gaskill refuses to allow testimony on an amendment to reduce early voting from 28 days to 16 days in Senate Elections Committee today. HB1359 - on scanning ballots - was scheduled for amend and vote only.

#Hoosiers will always stand up to bullies. #FairMaps
Common Cause led the redistricting fight in Indiana — and we won. The Trump Administration did everything in their power to rig voting maps. Because of our leadership, senators stood with the majority of voters and stopped this power grab.

Maybe if lawmakers stopped bending over backwards for a power-hungry president, they’d notice what Hoosiers actually need: fair maps and real representation. People should matter more than party loyalty.
I am very disappointed that a small group of misguided State Senators have partnered with Democrats to reject this opportunity to protect Hoosiers with fair maps and to reject the leadership of President Trump. Ultimately, decisions like this carry political consequences. I will be working with the President to challenge these people who do not represent the best interests of Hoosiers.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
A majority (21 out of 40) of republican state senators voted against the bill, not “a small group”. indianacapitalchronicle.com/2025/12/11/sen…

Senator Walker is a good and decent man and it would benefit #Indiana if we had more like him in the #INLegis
