Indiana Secretary of State Connie Lawson will Wednesday be in Washington D.C. to testify before the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. Lawson’s office says she will discuss the 2016 election and "steps needed going forward to ensure the integrity of our elections."

The trip would be the second time in as many weeks that Lawson has provided testimony in the nation’s capital on election security. Last week, Lawson was part of the National Governors Association Cyber Summit, serving on a panel to discuss efforts being made to ensure security of elections.

Last month, Lawson was named to the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity. The commission is chaired by Vice President Mike Pence.
