Indiana's newest member of the U.S. House of Representatives is settling into his new role.

Rudy Yakym has filled the 2nd Congressional District seat left by Jackie Walorski's death in a car accident in August 2022.

Yakym says the opportunity presented to him is an inspiring one.

Yakym notes his tour of the district's counties is important to stay in tune with those he represents.

He tells the story about how he and his children were on hand for the historic naming of the Speaker of the House.
