State Sen. Jim Buck (R-Kokomo) made the following statement today in response to Gov. Mike Braun's 2026 State of the State address.
STATEHOUSE (Jan. 14, 2026) – "Listening to the governor today, it was encouraging to hear Indiana's economy and GDP are growing much faster than our surrounding states.
"There were many new projects and high-paying job opportunities mentioned as well, and it is always great to see Indiana continue to grow and develop as a state. It goes to show the Hoosier dollar goes far, and that our state's future looks bright.
"I am also pleased to see the governor recognize the importance of affordability, especially with child care.
