Indiana lawmakers are gearing up for Organization Day, and if today’s preview conversations were any indication, the 2026 session is shaping up to be a collision of safety concerns, redistricting drama, and long-term planning for the state’s economic future.

And somewhere between affordability, transparency, and the occasional cross-branch finger-pointing, Indiana’s 2035 vision plan is starting to take real shape.
You can hear the four legislative leaders in the audio above as well Democratic Leader Shelli Yoder’s comments with the media afterwards.
