Public Education and Teachers Unions - Decades of cuts to education funding and roll backs of teachers’ union rights have made Indiana an undesirable place for teachers to work. Our kids deserve a strong education system that will prepare them for the jobs of tomorrow.
Gun Safety, Storage, and Sales - As a gun owner, I am very proud to be a Gun Sense candidate from Mom’s Demand Action. Gun safety and training is a necessary part of responsible gun ownership.

Not only am I a veteran of Afghanistan, but I am the son of a Vietnam Vet. As a VoteVets endorsed candidate, veteran issues will always be a priority of mine. In the last two years, Veteran homelessness in Indiana has increased by 16%. While the Federal government has recently passed legislation to help better connect our veterans with health care and other supportive services, our state must step in to solve the problem of veteran homelessness.
When elected, I will introduce legislation to create a statewide veterans homelessness commission that will use the best practices learned from other states to identify all homeless Hoosier veterans and connect them with the housing services they need. We know that this model will work in our state because the city of Kokomo has already done it - in 2020, the mayor of Kokomo, Indiana declared they also had reached zero homeless veterans. We have the tools we need to house all our Hoosier veterans and I am committed to being sure it gets done.
