Todd Rokita toured Indiana’s 4th District today, visiting eight towns from Brownsburg to Rensselaer to hear Hoosiers closer to their homes. In Kokomo, Kentland, Monticello, Greencastle, West Lafayette and Crawfordsville, too, he told his constituents, “I get my marching orders from you” – before he travels to Washington, D.C., next week to plan a pro-growth, pro-jobs agenda with a new Congressional class. “The House has passed over 300 pieces of legislation, dozens of them jobs bills, many bi-partisan, which Harry Reid has refused to bring to a vote in the Senate,” explained Rokita in Brownsburg. “America replaced him because they want action, not more paralysis. The Republican majority in the House and now Senate will fulfill its duty to govern – something the Senate Democrats refused to do under Harry Reid’s reign.” The House Budget Committee member is hopeful for legislative action on a number of priorities, which may include moving ahead with the Keystone Pipeline, repealing ObamaCare’s medical device tax, and reforming K-12 education policy. Rokita also serves as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Early Childhood, Elementary and Secondary Education, and he led negotiations to help pass the Student Success Act in 2013.  The bill was the first in 13 years to reauthorize federal K-12 education law, but sits idly in the Senate. “This is going to be an active 114th Congress,” he said. “Hoosiers are demanding free-market solutions to problems from education to economic regulation.  We’re going to deliver results.” Rokita spoke with Hoosiers over breakfast, lunch and dinner at a variety of local restaurants and diners. In Monticello, he talked with constituents about enacting Indiana’s model reforms on the federal level. “Since I was Indiana’s Secretary of State, Hoosiers have been driving conservative policy at the national level.  That record will only continue into the 114th Congress, as I continue fighting for all people so that they can build better lives for themselves and their families,” he said. ### 1 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z
