Yakym Kicks Off “Hoosier Heartland” District Tour to Highlight Working Families Tax Cuts

GRANGER, Ind. — Today, Congressman Rudy Yakym (IN-02) kicked off his “Hoosier Heartland Tour,” his annual August District Tour, traveling to all 11 counties of the Second District to visit manufacturers, farms, and local organizations and hear directly from constituents, including how the Working Families Tax Cuts are impacting Hoosier paychecks and businesses.

“This is easily the best part of my job, getting to spend August traveling to all 11 counties in Indiana’s Second District,” Rep. Yakym said. “I spend a lot of time traveling back and forth between Granger and Washington during session, and this work period every summer is carved out for exactly this reason — to make sure I can hear directly from Hoosiers and figure out what I can do for them.”

Stops include manufacturing floors at Plymouth Foundry, Morrison Products, Forest River, and Tire Rack; ag country visits with the Indiana Farm Bureau, Indiana Corn and Soy, Grass Creek Cattle Co., Parkman Farms, York Farms, and Hannah’s Country Road Greenhouse.

And stops at Miller Poultry Hatchery, Caterpillar Child Care, Standard Industrial, Winchester, and Larson Danielson Construction. Yakym will also visit community organizations including the Milford Food Bank and Friends of Medaryville Gym, plus a medal presentation honoring a constituent in Rochester.

Background:

Yakym, a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, holds the Hoosier Heartland Tour every August work period. 

This year’s tour also marks the one-year anniversary of the Working Families Tax Cuts, along with other legislative wins including the Farm, Food, the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, and the SAVE America Act.
