| Collapse all
- Put working Hoosier families first. Too many families are working harder than ever, but still struggling to keep up with rising costs. I will fight for policies that lower everyday expenses, protect workers, and make it easier for families to build stable, secure lives in Indiana.
- Fully fund and strengthen public schools. Every child deserves access to a high-quality public education regardless of their zip code. I will work to ensure our public schools are properly funded, our teachers are supported, and families are not forced to choose between paying tuition or accepting and under-resourced school. The youth are our future and they deserve our investment.
- Make healthcare more affordable and accessible. As someone who works in healthcare, I understand how confusing and expensive the system can be. I will support policies that lower costs, expand access to care, and ensure Hoosiers can get the treatment they need without financial hardship. The current system is inaccessible and I believe that together, we can do better.
My work in healthcare has also shown me how complicated and expensive the system can be, which is why I care deeply about policies that make care more affordable, understandable, and accessible.
