Indiana continues to be recognized as a strong leader in workforce, economy and infrastructure thanks to fiscally responsible and conservative Republican leadership.

Indiana is ranked number one for best housing market according to Realtor.com. Balanced with affordability and homebuilding, Indiana continues to be the best place to live.

Indiana ranks number two for best place to start a business (Forbes), most taxpayer friendly in Midwest (Tax Foundation) and lowest cost of living (CNBC). Senate Republicans continue to support small businesses and cut taxes for Hoosiers making Indiana an attractive state.

Indiana ranks number three for best government financial transparency (Truth in Accounting), most pro-life state in America (Americans United for Life) and best economic outlook (ALEC). Senate Republicans are committed to instilling transparency and trust in Hoosiers in what we do at the Statehouse and continue to proactively fight for pro-life legislation to protect Hoosier lives.

Indiana ranks number six for best infrastructure according to CNBC. Thanks to the General Assembly's work, the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program helps cities, towns and counties across Indiana improve their infrastructure.

Finally, Indiana ranks number 10 for best tax climate (Tax Foundation) and most free state (Cato Institute). Senate Republicans continue to cut taxes, saving Hoosiers millions on their state and local taxes.

Senate Republicans will continue to work on policies that keep Indiana a state that works for Hoosiers and a national leader in responsible conservative leadership.
