Frank J. Mrvan, currently serving as a U.S. Congressman representing Indiana’s 1st district, has been vocal about several issues through his recent tweets. Since replacing Pete Visclosky in 2021, Mrvan has been an advocate for community-focused policies and law enforcement support.

On May 13, 2025, Mrvan spoke on the House floor to express his support for funding the CASA program. He stated, "Spoke on the House floor in support of funding for the CASA program. I believe that our nation’s values and policies are shown by how we direct funds, and turning our backs on children survivors in order to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy is both shameful and bad policy."
