Congressman Jefferson Shreve • November 2 • Indiana's Sixth District
|
Hoosiers,
The harvest is almost complete and the evenings are getting shorter, making this the best time to sit down and talk with Hoosiers. There was no shortage of work packed into this October at home in the Sixth, including quality time spent with the folks who make our communities so special. Thank you to everyone who pulled up a chair and told me what was on your mind. Here’s a look:

ONE YEAR OF BRINGING THE OFFICE TO YOU
|
You shouldn’t have to travel far to get help from your congressional office. Over the past year, my team has held 33 mobile office events across all 11 counties of the Sixth District.
At these stops, we help Hoosiers with VA claims, passport problems, and issues with the IRS. Sometimes people need help getting an answer. Sometimes they need someone to help them work through the process. That’s part of our job.
We’ll keep coming to your community. And you don’t have to wait for our next visit. If you need help with a federal agency, call our Greenwood office at (317) 399-3333.

PROTECTING HOOSIERS FROM SCAMS
|
More than 100 Hoosiers joined us in Columbus for our second STOP SCAMS Summit.
Thanks to the local law enforcement officers, community bankers, FBI representatives, and state experts who helped people recognize fraud and protect their money.
The best way to stop a scam is to spot it before the money is gone.

ELECTION DAY IS TOMORROW!
|
Free and fair elections are the foundation of America. Your voice matters.

BACK IN THE CLASSROOM IN SHELBYVILLE
|
At Shelbyville High School, I talked with AP U.S. Government and Politics students about my work in Congress, how bills become law, and the responsibility of representing our district.
Thanks to Principal Amy Dawson and teacher Vince Bradburn for welcoming me into the classroom. Understanding how our government works is an important part of being prepared to take responsibility for it.

110 YEARS OF CARING FOR OTHERS
|
I joined residents, staff, Masons, and members of the Order of the Eastern Star to celebrate the Indiana Masonic Home’s 110th anniversary in Franklin.
Joy Burton and Barb Bechman were there, too. They were among the 816 children the Home cared for between 1916 and 1975. Today, the Home provides care and a place to belong for seniors.
A place lasts because one generation takes responsibility for it, and the next does the same. Thanks to everyone carrying that work forward.

VISITING WITH LYNN’S OFFICERS
|
I met with Lynn’s town marshal and a Randolph County school resource officer about their work keeping local families and students safe.
We also remember Town Marshal Brad Fisher, who lost his life in the line of duty. His service and sacrifice will not be forgotten.
