- Southern Indiana is TRULY the "Crossroads of America", yet we are often overlooked at the Statehouse. It is imperative that we have a strong voice in our state legislature to address the issues that are most concerning to the people here in Harrison, Floyd, Clark, and Washington Counties. Our families are struggling with the price of everything: higher heating bills, the cost of groceries, the cost of childcare, higher housing prices, and the rising cost of healthcare. We are spending more and more, while our leaders choose to ignore that Hoosier families need policies that will address these issues. Our families should not have to choose what bills get paid and which ones don't. It's time to put people first.
- Our current legislators in Indiana and Washington D.C. seem to be more concerned with the success and wealth of the few over the success, education, and cost of living of the many. Every child in Indiana deserves to have opportunities to achieve their fullest potential. This begins with affordable childcare and outstanding preschools and continues through grades K - 12, and beyond. Our children deserve a safe learning environment that is filled with a well-paid, quality staff. They deserve services that will provide for their physical, mental, emotional, and social needs. We must ensure that funds stop being taken from our public schools, vocational schools, and universities if Indiana is going to succeed today and into the future.
- Uplifting ALL Hoosiers. Yes, our children deserve a safe, quality learning environment, but that is only the beginning. It is time that our legislators do more to support our farmers in Indiana who are struggling to maintain family farms. Higher property taxes, fuel costs, equipment maintenance, and the loss of industries that purchase what is produced by our farmers must be addressed. Our current lawmakers in Indianapolis seem to believe that making homelessness a crime, questioning a person's beliefs or how they identify, destroying the rights of women, and dictating what we can and cannot read or say is what is most important to Hoosiers. We need to stand together to make our voices heard and our rights protected.
