Collapse all
|- I strongly support public education. In Boone and Hendricks Counties we're blessed with wonderful public schools, but lately it seems as if our state legislature is creating more problems for public education than it's solving. As the parent of two children in our public schools, I will be a voice at the Statehouse supporting our schools, teachers and administrators, and our students. I also believe that Indiana needs to provide support for our trades and technical community, including providing training that will help ensure future job security.
- All Hoosiers deserve access to quality healthcare at reasonable costs. In Indiana this has become a crisis with respect to maternal mortality, mental health, and access to quality healthcare in rural areas. I believe that not only is it imperative to provide quality healthcare, but to reduce the stigma related to mental health and working to provide greater access to services in this area. I also believe that a woman's healthcare decisions should be between her and her healthcare provider.
- Indiana is one of the most polluted states in our nation. Our waterways were recently ranked as the most polluted in the nation. If we don’t have clean air, water, and land, we don’t have the most basic requirements for healthy and prosperous lives for our citizens. We must be sure that our State is doing everything possible to correct our direction in this area. I will work to pass reasonable and responsible legislation to address our state’s pollution issues.
These include clean air, water and land not polluted by toxic chemicals.
We must all have access to quality education and training programs so that our citizens can support themselves and their families well into the future. Public schools are vital to our students' futures.
Our small businesses are the backbone of our communities and I believe we need to work to support them and help them to have continued growth and success.
Each legislator should accurately represent the view of the majority of their constituents; however, they should also work with their fellow legislators to achieve workable compromises to the benefit of the majority of the voters across the state and country.
