| Collapse all
- Guardrail against an extreme supermajority Hoosiers have lived under an unchecked supermajority for too long, and it has led to extreme and unpopular laws. I will focus on solutions that matter to Hoosiers, and guardrail against restrictions on personal freedoms.
- Protect personal freedoms I will work to defeat and amend the copycat template legislation from other states and special interest groups that threatens the rights of the majority of citizens in our state, and bring back common sense, compassion, and empathy to our state government.
- Support our public schools As a member of the Indiana legislature, I'll work to increase the number of trained counselors in schools, bring universal pre-k to our students, transparency in communication, improve teacher pay, and create an inclusive and safe environment for all children.
