STATEHOUSE ­— With Indiana’s lawmakers set to return to the Statehouse on Jan. 8 for the start of the 2024 legislative session, Montgomery 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: 

• State Rep. Beau Baird (R-Greencastle), House District 44, in.gov/h44;

• State Rep. Mark Genda (R-Frankfort), House District 41, in.gov/h41; or

• State Rep. Sharon Negele (R-Attica), House District 13, in.gov/h13.

“It’s always beneficial to hear from Hoosiers in my district on the topics that are most important to them,” Baird said. “I hope they find my survey to be a valuable tool to easily share their thoughts ahead of the legislative session.”

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.

“As I prepare for the upcoming legislative session, it helps to know what Hoosiers consider to be the most important topics to focus on,” Genda said. “Taking my survey, and following session in person or online are great ways to stay engaged.”

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.

“I’m eager for those I represent at the Statehouse to weigh in with their feedback,” Negele said. “Please visit my website today and share your thoughts or be on the lookout for my mailed survey to complete. Your responses matter and I value your input.”

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.
