With Indiana's lawmakers set to return to the Statehouse on Jan. 8 for the start of the 2024 legislative session, Shelby County legislators released online surveys to gather constituents' feedback on important issues.

To get started on the survey, lawmakers ask Hoosiers to visit their state representative's webpage at one of the following links and click on the red "Take My Survey" button:  

"As we approach the legislative session, it's important to hear from Hoosiers across before we consider new bills and proposals," Criswell said. "I hope constituents complete this survey, and I encourage them to stay connected with me about issues that are important to them."

To complete online surveys, constituents must be a resident of the district and submit it by the Dec. 31 deadline. Constituents can check which House district they reside in by visiting the Indiana General Assembly's website at iga.in.gov, clicking on "Find Your Legislator" on the homepage and entering a home address. Constituents can also expect to receive or may have already received a copy of their state representative's survey mailer in their mailbox.

"Learning the thoughts and concerns of constituents from across my district is invaluable when reviewing and voting on legislation," Meltzer said. "I hope to hear from residents in House District 73 throughout session so I can best represent our local communities."

The 2024 legislative session begins Jan. 8 and must conclude by March 14. Hoosiers can stay informed and engaged by visiting iga.in.gov, where they can watch session and committee meetings, read proposed bills, and view calendars and agendas.

"Whether we are in or out of session, constituent feedback is important to me," Greene said. "These surveys are a great way for Hoosiers to make their voices heard and help to guide me while considering legislation."

To stay updated during the legislative session, Hoosiers can sign up for their legislator's email newsletter by visiting IndianaHouseRepublicans.com and entering their email address under "Subscribe to eNews" or by calling 317-232-9600.
