Three Hoosier lawmakers — Democrats serving in Indiana’s House of Representatives — will attend a White House convention dedicated to gun violence prevention on Wednesday.
They are Reps. Maureen Bauer of South Bend, Carey Hamilton of Indianapolis and Ragen Hatcher of Gary.
“These legislators were invited to this conference for their dedication to preventing gun violence in their communities and across the state,” the Indiana House Democratic Caucus noted in a news release.
They’ll join state lawmakers from across the country at President Joe Biden’s Safer States Legislative Convening. It’s set to feature talks from senior White House officials and state leaders, along with breakout group discussions.
The Biden administration convened healthcare executives, leaders, practitioners and service providers on the topic earlier this month.
June is National Gun Violence Awareness Month.
It isn’t the first time to the White House for the lawmakers. In June 2023, Hamilton joined lawmakers from across the country at a White House discussion of state-level child care policy. Hatcher and Bauer also attended a December 2023 gun prevention meeting with the Biden-Harris administration.
