Local House Republican lawmakers invite constituents to complete the 2022 issue survey to provide feedback ahead of the legislative session starting Jan. 4.

While Jackson County residents will receive information about the survey in the mail, they can get started today by visiting their member’s website and then clicking on the red “Take My Survey” button at one of the following links:

• · State Rep. J. Michael Davisson, R-Salem, at in.gov/h73;
• · State Rep. Jim Lucas, R-Seymour, at in.gov/h69; or
• · State Rep. Chris May, R-Bedford, at in.gov/h65.

“These surveys are a great opportunity for me to learn more about what matters most to you and your family,” Lucas said in a news release. “I encourage Hoosiers in our communities to share their ideas before the Dec. 31 deadline.”

To complete a survey, constituents must be a resident of the district. The survey questions are intended to reflect issues that may come before the Legislature and should not be interpreted as a reflection of their legislator’s views.

Constituents can determine and confirm who their state representative is online by visiting the Indiana General Assembly’s website at iga.in.gov, clicking on the “Find Your Legislator” tab and entering their home address. Constituents can then visit indianahouserepublicans.com/members and view their member’s webpage to take the survey.

“This year we’ll look at issues ranging from supporting public safety to protecting individual rights,” Davisson said. “I’m looking forward to my first session, and your feedback will help me as I consider and vote on new laws.”

May said the public can participate in the legislative process by completing the survey, testifying in committee and staying connected with their state legislator. Constituents can visit iga.in.gov to watch livestreams of session and committee meetings, view archived meetings, and access meeting calendars and meeting agendas.

“Our state government relies on the active participation of Hoosiers,” May said. “I welcome our neighbors to spend a day at the Statehouse, watch a committee or session, and reach out to their state legislators on issues important to them. The legislative session is a great time to visit the Capitol, and I encourage constituents to reach out to me if they plan a trip.”

Constituents can contact Davisson at [email protected], May at [email protected] and Lucas at [email protected] with questions and comments, or by calling 1-800-382-9841. Hoosiers can also sign up to receive regular email news updates by visiting their member’s webpage and entering their email address.

The 2022 legislative must be finished by mid-March.
