INDIANAPOLIS (WTHR) – There is a new movement starting in Indiana politics, and it’s called “getting along.”

A handful of Republicans and Democrats called a press conference Wednesday to announce the creation of the Indiana Future Caucus. It’s compromised of Millennials who want to change the status quo in politics.

“Right now, the hyper-partisanship in our politics is more extreme than at any time in our history,” said Rep. Dan Forestal, D-Indianapolis. “Data has shown us that legislative chambers around our country are more divided and further apart than ever. This presents us with an opportunity.”
