State Rep. Ron Hicks, R-Defiance, plans to bring his children to the 2021 Bicentennial inauguration ceremony.
“That’s one of the exciting things about being a part of this, not just for myself but my family. I have two young boys and for them to be parts of history and things and then learn about it, this is just an amazing experience,” Hicks says.

Missouri State Treasurer Scott Fitzpatrick has announced that he has been named Legislative Chair for the National Association of State Treasurers (NAST).
As legislative chair, he will serve on the Executive Committee.
As Treasurer, advocating to our federal delegation for sound fiscal policy, growing programs that help all Missourians save for the future and expanding access to unclaimed property is a priority, Fitzpatrick said. I am pleased to take a leadership role in this endeavor and look forward to working with my fellow Treasurers to continue protecting state finances as well as expanding financial opportunity for all.
The legislative committee plays an important role in executing NASTs policy advocacy and I am grateful to Treasurer Fitzpatrick for accepting this role, said Kelly Mitchell, Indiana Treasurer of State and NAST President. I look forward to collaborating with him on this important work.
