Earlier this year, my office hosted its sixth annual job fair that connected over 1200 residents with 138 employers from across Central Indiana.I have already heard from several participants who were able to get jobs as a result of this year's fair. \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIn Washington, I am a strong supporter of the Make It In America agenda, which looks to strengthen American manufacturing and bring back jobs that were shipped overseas.Indianas economy has been improving, but we still need to make sure that all Hoosiers have an opportunity to find stable, well-paying jobs.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tKEEPING HOOSIERS SAFE: \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAs your representative and as a former law enforcement officer, keeping you and your family safe has always been my top priority.That is why I was so honored to be appointed to the House Intelligence Committee earlier this year.This appointment gives me an inside view of our efforts to protect our country and allows me to play a critical role in the fight against terrorism.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIt is an honor and a privilege to serve you.
