Congressman Larry Bucshon, M.D. (pronounced: “Boo-shon”) represents the Eighth District of Indiana, which encompasses all or part of 19 counties in Southwest and West Central Indiana.
Since coming to Congress, Larry has been a champion for advancing patient-centered health care reforms that will give patients and their doctors the freedom to make their own health care decisions as opposed to Washington bureaucrats. He has also been a leader in the fight to end the opioid epidemic, having been just one of eight lawmakers from around the nation recognized by the Coalition to Stop Opioid Overdose in 2016 for his work on the issue. Beyond health care, Larry has also been a recognized leader on transportation issues when he previously served on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
First and foremost, I believe we must secure the borders of the United States and strictly enforce our current laws, and do not support amnesty. Also, eliminating incentives for illegal immigrants to cross our borders and break our laws is absolutely necessary. We must hold employers accountable that knowingly hire illegal immigrants. It is time for commonsense immigration reform.
