These skills helped me become a successful small business owner. I run an information technology firm where I help businesses set strategy, get the most return on their investments, and avoid unintended policy consequences. My firm manages budgets from hundreds to millions of dollars each year. When coupled with my community organizing background, I have the experience necessary to be a responsible and collaborative legislator who will advocate for those that feel they are not being heard.
- I believe every Hoosier has the right to control their own reproductive health: it’s a matter of dignity, liberty and freedom. The Indiana GOP Supermajority is systematically stripping us of these rights. As your elected rep, I will use every tool available to me to bring reproductive health decisions back to you and your doctors.
- I strongly support well funded, quality public education. I think we all agree that public education works best when it is guided by trained, respected and invested professionals and not politicians. We need to return control of our public education curriculum to those best trained to do so and invest heavily in staff support, salaries and training.
- I often hear people talk about being fiscally conservative which prioritizes reducing or eliminating short term spend in a vacuum. I am fiscally responsible. Being fiscally responsible results in the avoidance of unintended consequences of short term thinking to human and economic capital. This is a tale of two philosophies. Someone fiscally conservative “trips over dollars to save pennies” and someone fiscally responsible believes “short term sacrifice, long term payoff”. Short sighted policy that halts or cuts spending has cost us dearly down the road in the areas of education, healthcare and our environment. I commit to being responsible with your tax dollars
I’ve lived in Indiana my whole life and House District 24 for the past 21 years. I feel like I have a solid understanding of our Hoosier and district values. We respect hard work, kindness, hospitality, looking out for our neighbors and controlling our own destiny. Those values are not being reflected in the state GOP supermajority. The loudest voices of the few are controlling what is heard in session and what bills are presented and passed. These bills are pure partisanship by the supermajority in the General Assembly. In reality, ordinary Hoosiers share more values than we realize regardless of the liberal or conservative labels. I want those values reflected in our laws.
