Westfield helps plan Indiana Military Veterans Legislative Day

Jan. 16 marked the 10th annual Indiana Military Veterans Legislative Day at the Statehouse. Chaired by Westfield resident and U.S. Air Force veteran Lisa Wilken, the event allowed veterans and members of the military the opportunity to meet with legislators, organizations and agencies.

Founded by State Rep. John L. Bartlett (D-District 95), the nonpartisan event was co-sponsored by Bartlett and Speaker of the House Todd Huston (R-District 37.)

“For the past 10 years, I have had the honor of sponsoring Indiana Military and Veterans Legislative Day to bring our honorable veterans and active military members face to face with lawmakers,” Bartlett stated. “These brave men and women have sacrificed for the freedom of our nation. Indiana owes our servicemen and servicewomen the dignity of listening to their input on legislation to make sure that it improves their lives and the lives of their families.”
