Hal Slager

Slager voted YES on SB 1 (2025), the $1.3 billion property tax relief bill (Source 7). He voted YES on HB 1032 (2025 Special Session) and is cited by name in contemporaneous reporting among the NW Indiana Republicans who supported the redistricting bill (Source 14). As a CPA with a long legislative record on Ways and Means and Financial Institutions committees, his overall legislative posture is consistently fiscal-conservative.

Slager voted YES on HB 1032 (2025 Special Session redistricting bill), which was framed by proponents as expanding conservative federal governance (Source 8)(Source 14). He voted YES on SB 289 (2025 DEI Prohibition) (Source 12). He also authored bipartisan legislation (HEA 1024, 2025) extending Medicaid coverage for border-county pediatric patients — a targeted, limited regulatory fix rather than a new entitlement.

Slager voted YES on HB 1296 (2022 constitutional carry), which passed the House 68-30 (Source 10). He voted YES on HB 1084 (2024 2A Privacy Act), which passed 73-22 on the House third reading (Source 9).

SB 236 (2026) never received a House floor vote, dying in the House Public Health Committee. No direct statement, pledge, or questionnaire response by Slager personally on abortion or pro-life policy was found in the researched record. No public position found on pro-life issues.

Slager voted YES on HB 1041 (2025 — Save Women's College Sports), YES on SB 143 (2025 — Parental Rights), and YES on SB 289 (2025 — DEI Prohibition) (Source 5)(Source 11)(Source 12)(Source 13). His IFI 2025 score was 86%; his only departure was voting NO on SB 287 (Transparency in School Board Elections), consistent with the IFI's scoring note (Source 5).
