Upon graduating from Indiana Wesleyan in 2016, Dylan accepted a teaching position in Marion Community Schools where he currently teaches 2nd grade. While there, Dylan has worked to develop relationships in the surrounding community to improve education for his students. He also developed an after school program called ""After Hour Giant Power"" which allowed students to participate in extracurricular activities. On most Saturdays in the winter, you can find Dylan at a student's basketball game at the Boys and Girls Club of Grant County.
When Dylan is not teaching, he enjoys spending time with family, going to sporting events and reading. To learn more about Dylan's campaign, please contact Friends of Dylan at mchenryfor30@gmail.com or 765-251-8780.- I will always advocate for working families.
- I will advocate and address public education funding in the state of Indiana.
- I will advocate for affordable and accessible healthcare for all Hoosiers.
Here are some policies that I think could have helped the people of Indiana right away. During the 2020 legislative session, lawmakers could have lowered prescription drug costs. They also had the opportunity to cap Insulin costs at $100 for a 30 day supply. The people of Indiana deserve to have affordable healthcare costs.
This year, I also attended the Red for Ed Rally at the Statehouse. Many educators in Indiana feel their voices are not being heard. In 2010, the education budget was cut by $300 million. Education funding has not recovered from this decrease. In the community where I teach, we receive $1.4 million less than we did in 2010. In response to COVID-19, schools across the state have stepped up to provide resources for their students. Public education has never been more important, and it must be funded in a meaningful way.
I also remember that our country felt very unified in the aftermath of September 11th. I believe that we can unify in the same way in our response to COVID-19. We can work together to recover and unite to make sure that we all have access to the resources we need. In times of uncertainty, America always steps up to the plate. I look forward to meeting the challenge ahead of us and I know that we can come out on the other side of this stronger, together.
