It was great to catch up with Congresswoman Erin Houchin at a recent event. We've known her for more than a decade since her days in the Indiana Senate, and it's always good to reconnect.

Over the years, we've built relationships with many lawmakers who have gone on to serve in different roles, both in Indiana and beyond.

The 2027 legislative session may still be three months away, but the picture at the Indiana Statehouse is already beginning to take shape.

Recent developments are providing a clearer sense of what Senate Republican leadership will look like when lawmakers return in January, while several major policy issues — including property taxes and utility affordability — are already emerging as topics to watch.

We keep our clients informed year-round with regular updates on the policy, political and regulatory developments that could affect their organizations.

It's been a busy summer for the VanceMitchem team. We’ve been on the road, crisscrossing the state to meet with clients in their communities, connect with policymakers, attend conferences, and engage in conversations that help us better understand the issues shaping Indiana and beyond.

That work helps lay the groundwork for the next legislative session, because the strongest advocacy strategies are built long before lawmakers return to the Statehouse.

$68 billion. That’s the size of one of the biggest health care decisions Indiana is preparing to make.

The state’s upcoming Medicaid managed care procurement will determine who helps deliver care to nearly 1.5 million Hoosiers, while testing a new approach designed to improve value and control long-term costs.

In this commentary for the Indiana Capital Chronicle, VanceMitchem President Chris Mitchem looks at the scale of the procurement, what makes it different and what’s at stake for Indiana.

The Indiana State Fair became a second office for the VanceMitchem team this year.

Last week, we attended Rural Caucus, connecting with policymakers and leaders from across the state to discuss the priorities, opportunities, and challenges facing Indiana agriculture.

We were also proud to attend the annual Harvest Dinner, which celebrates Indiana’s farmers and agricultural community while supporting the Indiana State Fair Youth Development Fund and 4-H youth participating in the Fair.

Events like these are a great reminder of the people, industries, and traditions that continue to shape Indiana.
