Dear Editor:
I support the reelection of our current Attorney General Todd Rokita, and here are the reasons why.
He represents Hoosier ideology policies that support common sense, law and order, and is not supportive of the federal government’s “bad ideas and egregious changes” that have been imposed upon the citizens of Indiana and American citizens across our country. He has joined with other likeminded state Attorneys General who also support these likeminded policies.
In statewide issues, Rokita prosecuted two separate defendant/cases accused of trying to defraud financially distressed Hoosier homeowners; added regulations to the “charitable bail industry” and preventing these bailout industries from bailing out anyone charged with a violent crime in Indiana, as well as anyone with a past conviction for a violent crime who is charged with any new felony; warned three cities and one county to rescind their sanctuary city policies as the flood of illegal immigrants harms all Hoosier taxpayers financially; and released a multi-year analysis of COVID-19 data, shedding light on a great deal of misinformation about the pandemic that has been long accepted as factual. The data found statistics inflated by counting people who died with COVID as having died because of COVID.
Rokita advocated in an 18-state brief for the result of the Supreme Court’s decision that presidents cannot be prosecuted for official actions taken while serving, as that kind of manipulation is wrong and dangerous to our republic.
Rokita led the fight to protect and defend civilian access to ammunition with several states. This also involved supporting military contractor Lake City Ammunition and its 1,700 workers operating at maximum capacity. The civilian law-abiding gun owners who buy Lake City ammunition are subsidizing national defense and military readiness.
Rokita co-led 17 states in asking a federal appeals court to rule in favor of defending a former Brownsburg High School teacher forced to resign because he declined to use the preferred names and pronouns of transgender students. This violated this teacher’s religious liberty and forced a good teacher to resign when teachers are in short supply.
Todd Rokita is co-leading a multistate lawsuit against invasive federal encroachment efforts that would undermine state regulatory authority over surface coal mining and reclamation. Coal mining is essential for the health of this nation’s energy industry, economy, and national security.
Todd Rokita and Iowa Attorney General are co-leading a 22-state letter calling on Congress to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (“SAVE”) Act. which prohibits individuals who are ineligible to vote, like illegal aliens, from doing so.
These state and federal cases represented by Todd Rokita and other attorney generals show how they are supporting and protecting American citizens who truly care about and love our country.
