Todd Rokita Statement on Executive Orders Related to COVID-19 /2020/07/23/todd-rokita-statement-on-executive-orders-related-to-covid-19/ /2020/07/23/todd-rokita-statement-on-executive-orders-related-to-covid-19/#respond Thu, 23 Jul 2020 16:46:00 +0000 /wp/?p=87 HENDRICKS COUNTY — Below is a statement from former Indiana Secretary of State, Member of Congress, and Republican Nominee for Attorney General Todd Rokita:

“Our laws did not anticipate the situation we have today and it has raised valid concerns about individual liberty while protecting public health. Our Emergency Disaster Law, like those in other states, was written with short term incidents like floods, explosions, contamination spills, localized health endangerment, or even acts of terrorism in mind. The word “temporary” exists repeatedly within this law. This Chinese virus has impacted our health, our economy, people’s paychecks, and our kid’s education for months. I look forward to our General Assembly clarifying this law, and if I am Attorney General our Governor, Senators and Representatives can count on my support working with them to reform the law, maximizing individual liberty while protecting the public.”

Rokita Wins the Republican Nomination to Serve as Indiana’s Next Attorney General /2020/07/10/todd-rokita-statement-on-winning-the-republican-nomination-to-serve-as-indianas-next-attorney-general/ /2020/07/10/todd-rokita-statement-on-winning-the-republican-nomination-to-serve-as-indianas-next-attorney-general/#respond Fri, 10 Jul 2020 17:07:00 +0000 /wp/?p=93 HENDRICKS COUNTY —  Todd Rokita issued the following statement upon wining the Republican Nomination for Attorney General:

I am humbled by the support of Delegates from throughout Indiana who have nominated me to serve as Indiana’s next Attorney General.

I want to thank our great team of tireless volunteers and supporters.

For eight years I served as Indiana’s Secretary of State, after winning two statewide elections, and I look forward to earning the trust and support of voters once again to serve as Indiana’s next Attorney General.

As Secretary of State I operated my office efficiently, using less taxpayer dollars than predecessors going back nearly two decades. I created the Prosecution Assistance Unit (PAU) to find, and bring to justice, criminals defrauding Hoosiers.

With work as Secretary of State I have a record Hoosiers can trust.

As our next Attorney General I will help ensure that we always protect Hoosiers with pre-existing healthcare conditions, that we operate the AG’s office efficiently and protect taxpayer dollars, that we uphold the rule of law to protect our communities from crime, that we support a growing economy, and we safeguard our Constitutional freedoms along with common sense, conservative values.

I look forward to serving with integrity as Indiana’s next Attorney General.

“Indiana Democrats have nominated a true liberal in Jonathan Weinzapfel, who will promote abortion, support job-killing red tape, and will continue his record of back door tax increases. Having faced off against him as I successfully implemented the nation’s first Voter ID law, I know he is a fierce advocate for his liberal causes. As our next Republican nominee for Attorney General, I would look forward to a robust debate on these issues.”
