Congresswoman Erin Houchin, representing Indiana’s 9th district since 2023, has been vocal about her legislative priorities on social media. Her recent posts highlight a proposed bill aimed at addressing several key issues.

On July 2, 2025, Houchin described the "One Big Beautiful Bill" in a tweet, stating it "lowers taxes," "secures the border," "strengthens Medicaid for those who truly need it," and "enforces real spending discipline." She emphasized that this legislation aligns with longstanding conservative promises and is what America needs.

The following day, on July 3, she shared a link without additional commentary. The content of this link was not specified in her tweet.

Later that day, Houchin addressed rural healthcare funding in another tweet. She highlighted that only 7% of Medicaid hospital spending benefits rural communities, which she deemed unacceptable. The proposed bill seeks to rectify this by allocating $50 billion to ensure each state receives at least $100 million annually to support rural hospitals and healthcare providers.

Erin Houchin, born in Salem, Indiana in 1976 and currently residing there, has served in Congress since succeeding Trey Hollingsworth in 2023. Before her congressional role, she was an Indiana State Senator from 2014 to 2022. Houchin holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Indiana University Bloomington.
