Congressman Rudy Yakym, who has represented Indiana's 2nd District since 2022, recently shared a series of tweets highlighting his engagements and perspectives on various issues. Born in 1984, Yakym resides in Granger and is an alumnus of Indiana University South Bend.

On June 4, 2025, Congressman Yakym expressed his enthusiasm about meeting with the RV Industry to discuss mutual goals. He emphasized the importance of maintaining Indiana's Second District as "the RV Capital of the World." "Always great to meet with @RV_Industry and discuss our shared priorities to ensure Indiana's Second District remains the RV Capital of the World!"

The following day, June 5, 2025, Yakym recounted his visit to Nir Oz in Israel with Sallyann. He described the events at the Kibbutz as "absolutely barbaric" and expressed solidarity with affected families while committing to efforts for hostage returns. "Sallyann and I visited Nir Oz while in Israel. What was done in that Kibbutz was absolutely barbaric. We continue to hold their families in our prayers, and I remain steadfast in my commitment to seeing every hostage returned home."

Later that day, he proposed a friendly wager on the NBA Finals with fellow congressman Kevin Hern. The bet involved wearing opposing team jerseys based on whether the Pacers or Thunder won. "Hey @repkevinhern! How about a little wager on the NBA Finals? If the @Pacers win, you’ll rep a Pacers jersey. But if the @okcthunder somehow pull it off, I’ll wear a Thunder jersey. You in? #YesCers"
