INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Democratic Party, the organization that advocates for the future of Indiana and its families, today issued the following statement by Chairman Mike Schmuhl:

“The Indiana Democratic Party is proud to extend our gratitude and appreciation to Dr. Jill Biden for her recent visit to Valparaiso, Indiana. Her focus on the importance of education and building pathways to good-paying jobs highlights a critical need in our state, and we are grateful for her advocacy and leadership on these issues.

As a lifelong educator and passionate advocate for students, Dr. Biden understands the critical role education and job training play in building strong, resilient communities. Her focus on ensuring that every Hoosier has access to the tools and resources they need to succeed is more important now than ever before.

We thank Dr. Biden for her leadership and dedication to helping Hoosiers build better futures for themselves and their families. We hope her visit to Valparaiso will inspire our elected officials, regardless of party affiliation, to work together to invest in education and job training, so that every Hoosier has the opportunity to achieve their full potential.”
