(Washington, D.C.) - State Rep. Jim Pressel of Rolling Prairie is back from Washington, D.C. where he participated in the White House State Leadership Conference. The gathering offered a forum for Hoosier elected officials to share their concerns and top issues with federal counterparts.

 

Pressel said he met with senior White House officials and Cabinet secretaries, including Vice President JD Vance. State legislators also shared some policy issues considered to be strengths in Indiana, such as education reform, public safety, and reducing bureaucratic burdens.

 

"Visiting the White House and meeting with our nation's leaders was a great opportunity to tout Indiana's success and gain resources to improve for the future," Pressel said. "It was an honor to represent Indiana and I am thankful for the invitation."
