Rep. Frank J. Mrvan, U.S. Congressman representing Indiana’s 1st district since 2021, has reiterated his commitment to supporting vulnerable populations and opposing cuts to Medicaid in a series of recent posts on social media.

On August 5, 2025, Mrvan highlighted concerns raised during a roundtable discussion about potential reductions in Medicaid funding. He stated, "From our recent roundtable discussion I think the message is clear: We do things efficiently here in the region, and cuts to Medicaid will devastate the ability of providers to deliver care."

The following day, August 6, Mrvan emphasized his long-standing advocacy for marginalized groups. He wrote, "My mission throughout my career as a public servant and as a Member of the U.S. House is to advocate for the most vulnerable in our communities, including being a vocal supporter for seniors, children, individuals with disabilities, and victims of sexual assault. I also am"

On August 7, he reaffirmed his dedication to working-class constituents regardless of changes to congressional districts: "No matter what district they put me in, I will fight for working class people. I will fight for fair education. I will fight for access to healthcare and Medicare. And I will not allow our most vulnerable to be left behind.
