| Collapse all
- Our last election has especially exposed the need for an increase in election integrity. Some election integrity legislation has been passed recently, but it falls very short of the changes we need to repair voter confidence in our system. If we don't ensure fair elections, our system of government will not survive.
- Civil liiberties are under attack, and the last 2 years made this very evident. Businesses, churches and schools were closed. Alternative voices were silenced. The right to assemble was restricted. These are fundamental rights given to us by our constitution and they were taken away. We need strong, constitutional-minded leadership protecting and preserving these rights.
- Indiana is considered one of the most conservative states in our country. We should be a leader in protecting the unborn. Yet, almost 8,000 babies are killed every year. . This has to stop, and Indiana needs leaders that will truly fight to end the killing of our most vulnerable population.
