Rep. Frank J. Mrvan, who represents Indiana’s 1st district in the U.S. Congress, has recently used his social media platform to address local environmental initiatives and national policy concerns.
On September 8, 2025, Mrvan reflected on his personal connection to a local natural area and commended efforts to improve it: "I grew up playing in Gibson Woods, and am proud that Northwest Indiana is home to such incredible environmental wonders for residents and visitors to enjoy. I applaud all of the leaders with Lake County Parks and Recreation for this initiative to enhance and improve access to".
The following day, September 9, 2025, he criticized federal tax policy regarding working families versus wealthier Americans: "Why are the tax benefits for working families temporary, but handouts for billionaires and the privileged are permanent? Communities in Northwest Indiana are struggling with increasing costs and know it’s because the Republican so-called 'One Big Beautiful Bill' is unfair toward".
Later that same day, Mrvan addressed an issue before the House Appropriations Committee: "Today in the House Appropriations Committee markup, I reached across the aisle to urge the Trump Administration to restore full staffing for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), a critical federal program that helps working Americans afford utility costs."
Frank J. Mrvan has served as a member of Congress since 2021 after succeeding Pete Visclosky. He previously worked on the North Township Board of Trustees from 2005 until his election to Congress. Born in Hammond, Indiana in 1969 and currently residing in Highland, Mrvan holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Ball State University.
