Dear Hamilton County Residents,
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to share some exciting news about a recent meeting I had the privilege to attend, which I believe highlights the growing importance of our county on both national and international stages.
On Monday, I met with German Deputy Ambassador Axel Dittmann and Irene Braam, Executive Director of the Bertelsmann Foundation. This meeting provided a unique opportunity to discuss U.S. politics and policy with these distinguished international guests.

During our discussion, we explored various topics, including:
- The current political landscape in Hamilton County and Indiana
- Key policy issues affecting our local community and their national implications
- The role of local government in shaping national politics
- Perspectives on U.S.-German relations and their impact on our region
I was impressed by the genuine interest these officials showed in understanding our local political dynamics and how they fit into the broader national context. Their questions and insights highlighted the interconnectedness of local and global affairs in today’s world.
This meeting underscores the growing recognition of Hamilton County’s significance in the political arena. As one of the fastest-growing counties in Indiana and a key player in state politics, we are increasingly drawing attention from national and international observers.
As we move forward, I encourage all residents to stay engaged in local politics and to share their thoughts and concerns with our office. Your voice is crucial in shaping the future of our county and its place in the national conversation.
Thank you for your continued support and trust. I am honored to serve as your Hamilton County Republican Chairman and look forward to more opportunities to represent our community’s interests at all levels of government.
Mario Massillamany
Hamilton County Republican Party Chairman
