Thursday evening, we were invited to the Glenwood Neighborhood Association meeting held at Zion Baptist Church on Sweeter Ave. We were well received by those in attendance, and Margie and I had a delightful time meeting with them and learning more about the upcoming events.

I was able to tell them why I ran for office the 1st time, and the blessings of being able to help folks around our district and Indiana. We are grateful for the warm welcome and for those taking yard signs.

On July 3rd, I was invited to meet with several women who provide early learning and daycare services for families. ​Today, I had the opportunity to accept an invitation to visit with director and owner Sarah Lee of "Sprouts" Early Learning of Evansville, alongside Hannah Wetzel.

It was very educational and inspiring to see the work they are doing. ​In the coming weeks, I will be visiting other facilities I've been invited to. ​With a budget session coming up, I am going to work to secure increased funding for these vital programs. #Indiana #earlylearning

Recently I had the privilege to meet with local childcare providers and early childhood advocates to discuss proposed childcare regulations. It was great to meet with these women who work so hard to advocate and care for Hoosier children.

Our discussion proved to be quite informative. These conversations are vital to understanding how policy changes may affect those directly involved and to hearing their concerns firsthand.

Fact Check: ​I was made aware of a statement on another individual’s Facebook post claiming, “What IS an emergency is the number of people whose electricity has been cut off by CenterPoint during this dangerous heat.”

Earlier in the morning, I had a meeting with a CenterPoint executive, and my wife, Margie, asked point-blank about that statement. The answer was: no one will be disconnected in this hot weather.

I'm only stating what I've been told. I do think it's irresponsible for someone to make a post about something unfounded to generate alarm.

In 2010 when I decided to run for the Indiana Senate seat in District 49, my main drive was to be able to personally help people in any way I can. That's why I instructed my staff over the years to send me all emails, voice mails, and hand written letters personally.

I can backup my claims to this statement. I think for myself, reason out solutions for a problem and successfully execute a plan of action.

There are many requirements for serving as state senator, but spending idle time pecking out dribble on social media is not one of them. -State Senator Jim Tomes #indiana #district49 #ForThePeople
