Senator Todd Young, representing Indiana in the U.S. Senate, recently highlighted a series of events and legislative milestones through his social media posts.

On September 2, 2025, Senator Young shared news about his team’s participation in a significant milestone for a local company: "Last week, my team attended Mead Johnson's 120th anniversary celebration in Evansville. For decades, Mead Johnson and its Hoosier workforce have delivered innovative results in infant nutrition and enhanced the lives of children." Mead Johnson Nutrition, based in Evansville, Indiana, is recognized as a longstanding leader in infant nutrition products.

The following day, on September 3, 2025, Senator Young used his platform to mark Suicide Prevention Month: "September is #SuicidePreventionMonth—a time to raise awareness, fight stigma, and remind those struggling that they are not alone. I was proud to help pass the National Suicide Hotline Designation Act, making 988 the easy-to-remember lifeline for those in need." The National Suicide Hotline Designation Act established "988" as the nationwide dialing code for suicide prevention and mental health crisis support.

Later that same day, Senator Young commented on developments by streaming services regarding congressional transparency: "Great to see this move from @YouTubeTV and @Hulu. Giving more Americans access to this vital window into Congress is good for our country and the functioning of our federal government." This statement follows recent efforts by major streaming platforms to expand access to live congressional proceedings for viewers across the United States.

Mead Johnson’s history spans over a century in Evansville, contributing significantly to both local employment and advancements in child nutrition. The designation of "988" reflects ongoing bipartisan efforts within Congress to improve mental health resources nationwide.
