The Republican said, “Being able to highlight those companies and have people understand that we have a a very very valuable potential piece of the workforce that could be playing a role, helping to fill the 100,000 jobs that aren’t filled her in Indiana. Being able to highlight the efforts of those companies. I hope raised awareness on other employers.”
She says Indiana strives to be a state that works for everyone.
