ICYMI: Houchin Helps Secure $7.9 Million Grant to Improve Madison Infrastructure Safety

Position: Rep. Houchin supports a $7.9 million federal CRISI grant to address safety and reliability needs on seven miles of the Madison Railroad in Indiana.

WASHINGTON—Congresswoman Erin Houchin (IN-09) helped secure a $7.9 million federal grant to improve the safety and reliability of the Madison Railroad, following her letter of support to Federal Railroad Administration Administrator David Fink on behalf of the City of Madison Port Authority. The City of Madison Port Authority was recently awarded a $7,915,813 grant through the Federal Railroad Administration’s Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements (CRISI) program. This funding will address critical safety concerns along seven miles of the century-old Madison Railroad, helping preserve and improve a vital piece of infrastructure. “Indiana is the Crossroads of America, and the Madison Railroad is an important part of the infrastructure that keeps our economy moving,” said Rep. Houchin. “I was proud to support the Madison Port Authority’s application and help bring this significant investment to Madison. This funding will address critical safety needs and help ensure this historic railroad can serve Southern Indiana for another century. I thank Administrator Fink and the Federal Railroad Administration for recognizing the importance of this project.” BACKGROUND: Letter from Rep.

Houchin Signs VP Vance Pledge to Fight Fraud

Position: Rep. Houchin signed a pledge supporting efforts to combat fraud in federal programs, including protecting vulnerable Americans, keeping taxpayer benefits from illegal aliens and fraudsters, and prosecuting and deporting fraudsters. She states Democrats allowed fraud to increase under the Biden administration.

Congresswoman Erin Houchin (IN-09) joined Vice President JD Vance in the fight against fraud. Combatting fraud has long been a priority of Congresswoman Houchin, who leads H.R. 5967, the Strategic Task Force on Scam Prevention Act, and is a member of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. “Each year, fraudsters cost Americans billions of dollars, and the problem is only growing,” said Rep. Houchin. “While Democrats allowed fraud to go unchecked and increase exponentially during the Biden presidency, Republicans are working to ensure that Americans and their tax dollars are protected from criminal fraud. I am proud to support Vice President Vance and the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud in protecting Americans from being scammed.” The Pledge reads: I pledge to join the fight and do everything in my power to ensure that: 1. Vulnerable Americans, such as the elderly, indigent, and disabled, are protected from fraudsters who seek to prey on them. 2. Taxpayer-funded programs serve law-abiding Americans, not illegal aliens or fraudsters. 3. Taxpayer-funded benefits are not used by fraudsters to buy mansions or luxury cars. 4. Public agencies and officials work tirelessly and aggressively, coordinating at all levels of government, to stop fraud before payments go out the door. 5. Fraudsters face justice for their crimes in a court of law. Convicted fraudsters will be imprisoned and barred from ever receiving another penny of taxpayer dollars. 6. Illegal alien fraudsters are promptly arrested, prosecuted, imprisoned, and deported, never able to take advantage of Americans’ generosity again.

Reps. Houchin and Brownley Introduce National Learning Disabilities Awareness Month Resolution

Position: The release recognizes October 2026 as National Learning Disabilities Awareness Month and supports early identification of learning disabilities and access to accommodations and instruction for affected students, including through the New IDEA Act introduced by Rep. Houchin.

WASHINGTON—Congresswoman Erin Houchin (IN-09) and Congresswoman Julia Brownley (CA-26) introduced a resolution recognizing October 2026 as National Learning Disabilities Awareness Month. Observed annually in October, National Learning Disabilities Awareness Month raises public awareness of learning disabilities, promotes early and accurate diagnoses, and highlights the importance of ensuring individuals have access to the resources, tools, and support they need to succeed in school, the workplace, and their communities. “Students with learning disabilities too often fall through the cracks of our education system. That’s why I am proud to recognize National Learning Disabilities Awareness Month alongside Congresswoman Brownley,” said Rep. Houchin. “Every child deserves the opportunity to succeed, and that starts with identifying learning disabilities as early as possible. This year, I introduced the New IDEA Act, which would clarify the pathways for schools to identify and provide accommodations for students with specific learning disabilities, and help students receive the instruction they need.” “Having a learning disability should never stand in the way of a person’s ability to pursue their goals and achieve success,” said Rep. Brownley. “I began my career in public service to ensure that individuals like my daughter, who has dyslexia, have access to the resources and tools that empower them to learn and grow with confidence. I am grateful for Congresswoman Houchin’s partnership in recognizing National Learning Disabilities Awareness Month as we work to foster positive and supportive learning environments and improve learning outcomes and lived experiences for people with learning disabilities.” The full text of the resolution can be found here.

ICYMI: Rep Houchin Bills to Combat Scams, Expand Broadband Advance to House Floor

Position: The release supports advancing H.R. 5967, the Strategic Task Force on Scam Prevention Act, which would assign the FTC and DOJ responsibility for coordinating federal efforts to prevent fraud. It also supports H.R. 4950, the Data BRIDGE Act, which would require broadband funding decisions to incorporate USDA cropland location data.

WASHINGTON—Last week, two bills by Congresswoman Erin Houchin (IN-09) advanced out of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and were reported to the full House of Representatives. H.R. 5967, the Strategic Task Force on Scam Prevention Act, was reported to the full House, as amended, by a roll call vote of 36 yeas to 0 nays. This bipartisan legislation introduced alongside Rep. Rob Menendez (NJ-08) targets fraud, an issue costing Americans about $15.9 billion last year. By placing responsibility of preventing scams with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Department of Justice (DoJ), the Strategic Task Force on Scam Prevention Act proactively targets criminals engaging in fraud. “Fraud is a massive and growing threat that costs Americans billions of dollars every year,” said Rep. Houchin. “The federal government has agencies working on different pieces of this problem, but criminals do not operate in silos. We need the federal government to share information, coordinate its efforts, and work directly with the companies on the front lines of identifying scams. The Strategic Task Force on Scam Prevention Act gives this effort an owner and creates a coordinated strategy to better protect Americans.” H.R. 4950, the Data BRIDGE Act, was reported to the full House by a roll call vote of 35 yeas to 0 nays. The Data BRIDE Act, a bipartisan bill introduced alongside Rep. Robin Kelly (IL-02) ensures that broadband funding decisions are made with cropland location information from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Currently, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) National Broadband Map focuses on serviceable locations like homes and businesses, but often misses the acreage surrounding where modern farming takes place. “Our farmers depend on access to reliable broadband to stay competitive in a modern economy,” said Rep. Houchin. “The Data BRIDGE Act is a low-cost, commonsense solution, using data the government already has to ensure every broadband dollar lands closer to where the work gets done, I have led the fight to expand broadband access to rural communities in Indiana for years and am proud of this important step toward closing the connectivity gap for our farm families and rural communities. Thank you to Chairman Hudson and Chairman Guthrie for supporting of this practical legislation."

Rep. Houchin Bill to Improve Literacy Education Practices Passes House

Position: The release supports H.R. 7890, the Science of Reading Act of 2026, which would prioritize Science of Reading-based instruction in the allocation of federal literacy funds.

WASHINGTON—Today, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 7890, the Science of Reading Act of 2026. This bill would prioritize the Science of Reading in the deployment of federal literacy funds. This brings federal policy into alignment with advancements in scientific understanding of how children learn to read, and reserves grant funding to the most impactful and effective methods of instruction. American schoolchildren at all levels have faced declining literacy skills for nearly a decade. This is a quiet crisis that has significant economic, social, and behavioral impacts for the rest of each student’s life, and for the communities that they live in. Fortunately, we have a clear path forward. The Science of Reading is a body of research that emphasizes phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension as pillars of instructional principles. Implementation of Science of Reading in states across the country has yielded significant improvements in reading acquisition on all levels, including in Indiana. “Reading is the foundation of learning, and we cannot accept declining literacy rates as the status quo. The Science of Reading Act will equip classrooms with proven methods to ensure every student can read. Indiana has shown that the Science of Reading works, and I’m proud to see this important legislation pass the House.” – Rep. Erin Houchin (IN-09) "It’s time to move away from failed theories and restore evidence-based reading instruction that actually works. Our children deserve an education grounded in what the evidence tells us, not the latest educational fad. I applaud Rep. Houchin for her leadership to improve our nation’s child literacy rates.” - ‎House Education & Workforce Committee Chairman Tim Walberg (MI-05) “As a former teacher and Chair of the K-12 Education Subcommittee, I am grateful the House has come together in a bipartisan way to promote literacy. Perhaps nothing is more vital to a child's academic success than receiving proper literacy instruction from an early age. This legislation will promote best practices, rooted in the science of reading, and help more students develop the reading skills needed to reach their full potential.” – Rep. Kevin Kiley (CA-03) "As a teacher for nearly three decades - and the husband of a literacy expert - I know that strong reading skills are the foundation for success in the classroom, in the workplace, and throughout life. The Science of Reading Act gives teachers and students access to proven, evidence-based approaches that help kids become stronger readers. I’m proud that Republicans and Democrats came together to pass this legislation and move us one step closer to improving reading outcomes for students in NY-22 and across the country. Strong schools and strong readers are essential to America’s ability to compete and win globally.” - ‎Rep. John Mannion (NY-22) “Indiana continues to invest historic resources to ensure the science of reading is used in every Hoosier classroom. Through this intentional focus, we’ve seen two consecutive years of historic literacy gains, with nearly 90 percent of third graders now reading proficiently. This legislation reinforces our work in Indiana, ensures taxpayer dollars are only used on what we know works, and will help more students across the country to become strong readers.” – Indiana Governor Mike Braun “Literacy is the key to unlocking future success for our students, which is why it is absolutely essential that we use instructional strategies proven to help children learn to read. Through Indiana’s focus on the science of reading, we have more Hoosier third graders reading today than even before the pandemic. By doubling down on these evidence-based strategies, we can ensure students across Indiana and the nation have the best possible chance for literacy success, and thus lifelong opportunities.” – Indiana Secretary of Education Dr. Katie Jenner "We are already seeing the impact of the Science of Reading research in Indiana, with literacy rates among Hoosier children showing significant improvement since 2022. As one of Indiana’s largest producers of teachers, IU acted swiftly to align our programs with science of reading practices, ensuring our graduates enter classrooms prepared to meet the needs of every student. The Science of Reading Act will further support this work and inspire a new generation of confident readers.” – Leah Michele Nellis, Assistant Vice President for School Partnerships, Indiana University “We appreciate Representatives Houchin, Mannion, and Kiley for their leadership on the Science of Reading Act of 2026 and for engaging Save the Children on this important effort. Every child deserves the opportunity to become a confident reader. This legislation is an important step toward closing literacy gaps by promoting evidence-based instruction grounded in decades of research. We welcome this investment in early literacy and support continued efforts to ensure children in rural and underserved communities have access to high-quality reading instruction. By equipping educators with proven tools and training, we can help more children develop the foundational skills they need to thrive.” - ‎Allison Dembeck, Head of Policy, Save the Children Click HERE to view bill text.

Reps. Houchin, Auchincloss Introduce Bipartisan 16 & Up Social Media Act to Keep Kids Under 16 Off Addictive Platforms

Position: The release supports the 16 & Up Social Media Act, which would prohibit covered social media platforms that use engagement-driven features such as infinite scroll and personalized feeds from allowing users under 16 to create or maintain accounts, and would require deletion of children's data upon account termination and a five-day appeals process for account closures.

WASHINGTON—Congresswoman Erin Houchin (R-IN-09) and Congressman Jake Auchincloss (D-MA-04) today introduced the 16 & Up Social Media Act, bipartisan legislation that establishes a national age standard of 16 for social media platforms. The bill responds to a simple reality: platforms built on infinite scroll, autoplay, push alerts, and personalized feeds are designed to keep users hooked, and children are the least equipped to resist them. The 16 & Up Social Media Act sets a bright-line rule that platforms can follow and parents can count on. "Every parent knows the feeling of watching a child disappear into a screen," said Rep. Houchin. "These platforms were engineered by the smartest people in the world to hold attention, and they are winning that fight against our kids. Studies show that sixteen is the right line. This bill draws it clearly, applies it to every platform that uses these addictive features, and puts real enforcement behind it. Kids get their childhood back, and parents get a bright line they can rely on." "Social media corporations addict children for profit. The exploitation must stop. Our kids deserve their childhoods back." said Rep. Auchincloss. "Children's wellbeing is shaped by technologies that were designed for addiction yet face almost no oversight. This is not a parenting problem. It is a structural problem, and it demands a structural response. The goal is to stop addictive design entirely. Until then, gaining access to platforms with manipulative, unsafe design needs age minimums. The 16 & Up Social Media Act delivers exactly that." said Jonathan Haidt, Social Psychologist, NYU Stern School of Business, and author of The Anxious Generation The 16 & Up Act: Sets a national age standard of 16: Prohibits covered social media platforms from allowing users under 16 to create or maintain accounts. Focuses on design features: Applies strictly to platforms that use engagement-driven design features (like infinite scroll and personalized feeds) to target users, rather than regulating content. Ensures privacy and accountability: Mandates the deletion of children's data upon account termination and requires platforms to implement a clear, five-day appeals process for any account closures. Background: Congresswoman Houchin serves on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, where she has led the House's work on children's online safety. She authored the SAFE Bots Act, the first bill to protect kids from AI chatbots, co-leads the Kids Online Safety Caucus with Congressman Auchincloss, and strongly supported the KIDS Act package (H.R. 7757), which passed the House with bipartisan support.

Rep. Houchin Applauds Announcement of Nuclear Microreactor at NWS Crane to Develop Energy Resilience

Position: The release applauds the planned installation of a nuclear microreactor at NWS Crane, stating that microreactors at military installations are a natural next step in U.S. energy deployment and rebuilding the nuclear supply chain.

Today, Congresswoman Erin Houchin (IN-09) celebrated the Department of War’s announcement that Naval Weapons Station (NWS) Crane will host Indiana's first advanced nuclear Micro Modular Reactor (MMR), with installation planned no later than September 2028. The project, executed jointly by the Army's Janus Program, the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Energy, Installations and Environment, the Office of the Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering, and the State of Indiana, will deliver reliable, around-the-clock power to one of the nation's premier warfighting innovation hubs. "Crane is a unique and valuable asset to our National Defense Portfolio and this investment demonstrates that Indiana is at the forefront of unleashing American energy.” said Rep. Houchin. "With proven success in powering submarines, microreactors at our military installations is a natural next step in U.S. energy deployment and rebuilding our nuclear supply chain. The project will also have a positive impact at West Gate due to increased power supply to the base. Thank you to the Department of War, the Navy, our state and federal partners and to everyone whose efforts made this day possible. I am proud to have been part of a chorus of voices advocating for this project and I am proud to be among NWS Crane’s advocates in Washington.” As the first power-producing nuclear reactor sited in Indiana, the Crane MMR will expand the state's power generation capacity and support the region's long-standing role as a hub for national defense research and manufacturing. The project implements President Trump's Executive Orders on deploying advanced nuclear reactor technologies for national security and reinvigorating the nuclear industrial base. ###

Rep. Houchin Bills to Protect Children Online, Combat Scams Advance Subcommittee Markup

Position: The release supports advancing two bills in the House Energy & Commerce Subcommittee: the GUARDIAN Act, which would require verifiable parental consent before social media platforms process a child's personal data and let parents revoke consent, and the Strategic Task Force on Scam Prevention Act, which would assign the FTC and DOJ responsibility for coordinating federal efforts to prevent scams and fraud.

WASHINGTON—Congresswoman Erin Houchin (IN-09) today announced that two of her bills reported favorably out of the House Energy & Commerce Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade. The bills are as follows: H.R. 6488, Reducing Exploitative Social Media Exposure for Teens (RESET) Act, now known as Governing Underage Access and Requiring Data Consent in All Networks (GUARDIAN) Act The GUARDIAN Act establishes a verifiable and revocable parental consent framework for social media platforms. Under the legislation, platforms would be prohibited from processing a child’s personal data without parental consent. Parents would also be able to revoke that consent at any time, with the child’s account closed and personal data deleted. “Parents—not social media companies—should be in the driver’s seat when it comes to their children’s online lives,” saidRep Houchin. “The GUARDIAN Act, formerly the RESET Act, requires platforms to get verifiable consent from a parent before processing a child's personal data—and lets the parent withdraw that consent at any time. We have an opportunity to build on the bipartisan consensus this Committee and the House have already established, and I am proud to continue working with my colleagues to make the internet safer for our children.” Click HERE to view Rep.

Reps. Houchin and Kelly Bill to Close Rural Broadband Gaps Clears Subcommittee Markup

Position: The release supports the Data BRIDGE Act, which would require USDA cropland location data to be included in the FCC's National Broadband Map so that broadband funding decisions better account for farming areas. The bill was reported favorably by a House Energy & Commerce subcommittee.

WASHINGTON— Congresswoman Erin Houchin (IN-09) and Congresswoman Robin Kelly (IL-02)’s bipartisan bill, the Data Broadband Reporting and Integration Deployment in Geographically Essential Areas (Data BRIDGE) Act, was reported today favorably out of the House Energy & Commerce Subcommittee on Communications & Technology. Currently, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)’s National Broadband Map focuses on serviceable locations like homes and businesses but often misses the acreage surrounding where farming takes place. This dramatically skews funding decisions and limits the ability to deploy broadband needed for modern farming technologies like guidance systems, soil sensors, yield monitors, and irrigation controls. The Data BRIDGE Act addresses this oversight by ensuring that information collected by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) about the location of cropland is included in the National Broadband Map. “Our farmers depend on access to reliable broadband to stay competitive in a modern economy,” said Rep. Houchin. “The Data BRIDGE Act is a low-cost, commonsense solution, using data the government already has to ensure every broadband dollar lands closer to where the work gets done, I have led the fight to expand broadband access to rural communities in Indiana for years and am proud of this important step toward closing the connectivity gap for our farm families and rural communities. Thank you to Chairman Hudson and Chairman Guthrie for supporting of this practical legislation.” "As a proud co-lead of the Data BRIDGE Act, I know firsthand how critical accurate broadband data is for our farmers," said Rep. Kelly. "My district stretches from the South Side of Chicago to over 4,500 farms in rural Illinois, and too many of my farmers still lack the connectivity they need for modern tools like soil sensors, guidance systems, and irrigation controls. This bill will use the data we already have to close the gap. I'll keep fighting to make sure no community in my district, urban, suburban, or rural, gets left behind in the digital age.”

House Kids Online Safety Caucus Co-chairs Statement on Historic $17 Billion Meta Settlement

Position: The co-chairs describe the Meta settlement as holding the company accountable for harms to children and state that one settlement is insufficient, calling for broader congressional legislation to protect minors on online platforms.

WASHINGTON—Co-chairs of the Kids Online Safety Caucus Congresswoman Erin Houchin (R-IN-09) and Congressman Jake Auchincloss (D-MA-04) released the following statement on the Meta settlement. “These basic actions to improve features on Meta’s platforms are long overdue, and this settlement meaningfully holds Meta accountable for its exploitation of millions of children across the country.
