Rep. Commons Participates in White House Conference

State Rep. Matt Commons (R-Williamsport) recently attended the White House State Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C. The conference was an opportunity for Indiana’s elected officials and White House officials to foster collaboration and discuss the top issues affecting Hoosiers.

Commons lauded the opportunity to meet with senior White House officials and Cabinet secretaries, including Vice President JD Vance, and said the conference offered ways for state legislators to explore how to strengthen Indiana’s partnership with President Trump’s Administration.

The meeting highlighted many policy areas where Indiana is leading the nation, including efforts to strengthen education, improve public safety and reduce bureaucracy.

“Visiting the White House was a great opportunity to strengthen Indiana’s federal partnerships and discuss issues important to Hoosiers,” Commons said. “Our state is in a strong position and we will continue to work with the administration on common-sense, fiscally responsible policies that strengthen Indiana.”
Commons said that having an open dialogue between state and federal government is beneficial for lawmakers and the communities they serve.

The White House State Leadership Conference included a Q&A session for lawmakers with each speaker and agency representatives.

Commons represents House District 13, which includes all of Benton and Warren counties, and portions of Fountain, Jasper, Montgomery, Newton, Tippecanoe and White counties.
