No Distractions.
No Division.
Let’s Get to Work.
Our current leaders are experts at distraction and division while doing nothing to make life better for working Hoosiers.
When I announced my run for office, I promised to be authentic about the issues I care about. I ask you to hold me accountable to that promise, and together we can Reclaim Hoosier Hospitality with Dignity, Accountability, and Freedom for ALL Hoosiers.
-
If you work full-time, you should be able to afford your life.
But in Indiana, that’s not reality.
Our minimum wage is still $7.25 an hour, unchanged for nearly 20 years, while the cost of everything else has gone up.
Hoosiers are doing everything right… and still falling behind.
And we don’t have to guess what works, other states are already proving it.
My Plan
Raise Wages.
$15/ hour in 2027. Immediate. If a corporation can’t afford to pay living wages, taxpayers shouldn’t be subsidizing keeping them in business.
$15 is the floor. Let’s have a conversation about FINANCIAL STABILITY FOR ALL.
Tipped Workers base wage & tips must meet at least standard minimum wage.
Make It Automatic.
Tie future increases to inflation and cost of living so we don’t fall this far behind again.If you’re working full-time, you shouldn’t be living paycheck to paycheck.
-
If you work full-time, you should be able to take care of yourself and your family, without risking your job.
But in Indiana, too many workers don’t have basic protections like paid sick time or family leave.
So people are forced to choose:
go to work sick, lose a paycheck, or take care of their family.That’s not how work is supposed to function.
What’s Happening
No guaranteed paid sick days or family leave
Workers forced to choose between health and a paycheck
People afraid to speak up or risk losing their job
My Plan
Paid Sick Days. No Exceptions.
At least 7 paid sick days per year, with time earned for part-time workers too.Paid Family Leave.
Up to 12 weeks for a new child, serious illness, or caring for a loved one. Structured so small businesses aren’t carrying the full cost.Time to Live. Not Just Work.
At least 10 days of paid time off each year, with flexibility for employers.Fair Workplaces.
Crack down on wage theft, protect workers from retaliation, and defend the right to stand together for better conditions.You shouldn’t have to risk your job just to take care of your health or your family.
-
If we want better outcomes for our kids, we have to invest in the classrooms in which they learn.
Strong public schools build strong communities.
That’s where most Hoosier kids learn, grow, and prepare for their future.
Teachers are underpaid, classrooms are stretched thin, and more public dollars are being pulled away from public schools.
We should be strengthening our schools, not slowly defunding them.
What’s Happening
Teachers leaving because pay isn’t competitive
Classrooms stretched with fewer resources
Public dollars shifting away from public schools
My Plan
Pay Teachers Like Professionals.
Raise starting teacher pay to $60,000 over 3 years and keep it growing with the cost of living.Invest in Classrooms.
Reduce class sizes, retain teachers, and expand programs with priority for rural and working-class communities.Universal Pre-K.
Make early education affordable and accessible so every child starts ready to learn.Phase out the Voucher System.
Put public schools first. Restore income limits, target help where it’s needed, increase transparency, and start a path to reinvesting in our public schools.Real Paths After High School.
Expand career training, dual enrollment, and partnerships so students graduate job-ready with real options.Support Students and Teachers.
More counselors, mental health support, and career guidance so teachers aren’t doing it alone.Fund It Responsibly.
Invest in education with new revenue sources and reduce over-reliance on property taxes.Strong public schools are the foundation of strong communities.
-
Getting sick shouldn’t mean going into debt.
I’ve seen this firsthand. My own family faced the threat of financial ruin while dealing with something no family should have to go through.
And we’re not alone.
Across Indiana, even people with insurance are struggling. High deductibles, surprise bills, rising costs.
That’s not a system that works. That’s a system that puts profit first.
What’s Happening
High premiums, deductibles, and surprise bills
Hospital systems with little competition driving up prices
Rural communities losing access to care
My Plan
Lower Costs. No Surprises.
Upfront pricing, no surprise billing, and real transparency so patients can compare costs.Hold Hospital Systems Accountable.
Crack down on monopolistic pricing and tie nonprofit tax breaks to fair, transparent care.Protect Rural Healthcare.
Keep hospitals open, expand telehealth, and protect access to emergency, maternity, and primary care.Make Insurance Actually Work.
Lower out-of-pocket costs and stop insurers from shifting the burden onto patients.Lower Drug Prices.
Increase transparency, prevent price gouging, and make sure savings reach patients.Expand Mental Health Care.
More access statewide. Including in schools, rural areas, and for veterans and seniors.Healthcare should be about care, not profit.
No Hoosier should have to choose between their health and their finances.
Ultimately, I support Medicare for All at the national level, but we can work on filling gaps here at home while congress figures that out.
-
Homes for Hoosiers First
You shouldn’t have to compete with a corporation to live in your own hometown.
I’m a real estate broker and I see what’s happening firsthand.
Across Indiana, families are getting priced out while large, out-of-state investors buy homes in bulk, outbid local buyers, and turn neighborhoods into profit centers.
Let me be clear:
This isn’t about local landlords or Hoosiers investing in property.
It’s about corporate buyers purchasing dozens, or hundreds of homes at a time.That’s not a free market.
And it’s already happening in central Indiana and starting to reach Northeast Indiana.
We should:
Level the Playing Field
Push back on large-scale, out-of-state corporate home buying so local buyers have a fair shot.Build More Housing That People Can Actually Afford
Cut red tape and support smart development to increase supply and bring prices down.Support Local Builders
Make it easier for small, local builders to compete, not just large developers.Protect Homeowners
Crack down on predatory “We Buy Homes” operations targeting vulnerable Hoosiers.Keep Housing Local
Encourage homeownership and keep more homes in the hands of Hoosiers, not distant corporations.Hoosiers should be able to live, buy, and invest in their own communities, without being pushed out by corporate money.
-
Hoosiers are paying more and getting less.
Across Indiana, from NIPSCO to Indiana Michigan Power, families are seeing bills skyrocket, with fees and delivery charges eating up more than the energy itself. At the same time, massive new energy users like Google backed data centers are driving demand and regular people are worried they’ll be stuck with the bill.
This isn’t a free market. It’s a monopoly.
It’s not working for you.
Bills keep rising… even when usage doesn’t
Hidden fees and confusing charges
Big corporations get special deals
Lawmakers talk reform… but utilities keep winning
My Plan:
Lower Bills.
Cap excessive delivery fees and tie costs to actual usage.No More Corporate Handouts.
Data centers and large users pay their full cost. Not you.Utility Bill of Rights.
Clear, honest billing. No hidden fees. Full transparency.Stronger Oversight.
Stop rubber-stamping rate hikes. Put consumers first. -
Family farms built Indiana.
But they’re getting squeezed from rising costs, outside investors, and corporate consolidation.
Land that’s been in families for generations is getting harder to hold onto, and easier for large, out-of-state buyers to scoop up.
Once that land is gone, it doesn’t come back.
This isn’t just about agriculture.
It’s about dignity, legacy, and the future of rural Indiana.We should:
Keep Farmland in Hoosier Hands
Push back on large-scale, out-of-state and foreign ownership of Indiana farmland so local farmers have a fair shot to buy and keep land.Protect Generational Farms
Make it easier for family farms to pass land to the next generation without being forced to sell.Level the Playing Field
Ensure family farmers aren’t competing against massive corporate buyers with unlimited capital.Support Working Farmers
Focus state policy on helping real farmers stay in business, not just large operations and outside investors.Family farms aren’t just businesses, they’re a way of life worth protecting.
Dignity
Everyone deserves to be treated with respect.
We fight for policies that honor Hoosiers’ hard work, protect families, and ensure people, not corporations, come first.
-
Government shouldn’t be a lifetime job.
But in Indiana, many politicians stay in office for decades.
Fresh perspectives matter. Accountability matters.
My Plan
Real Term Limits.
Set reasonable limits on how long someone can hold the same office.Bring in New Voices.
Create more opportunities for everyday Hoosiers to step up and serve.Public office should be public service, not a career.
No one should hold power forever.
-
Direct Democracy and Accountability
Hoosiers should have a direct say in the laws that govern their lives.
Right now, we don’t.
Indiana voters have no path to put issues on the ballot themselves. When lawmakers ignore the will of the people, there is no way around it.
No citizen-led ballot initiatives
No way for voters to act when politicians refuse
Major issues never getting a vote
No way to hold elected officials accountable between elections
That is not a functioning democracy.
My Plan
Citizen-Led Ballot Measures
Allow Hoosiers to collect signatures and put issues directly on the ballot. If lawmakers will not act, the people should be able to.Citizen Recall Elections
Elected officials should answer to the people, not corporations or special interests.
If a politician breaks the law, abuses their office, or betrays the trust of their constituents, voters should have the power to remove them before the next election through a fair and transparent recall process.Restore Accountability
These reforms are about making government responsive again. Politicians should not be insulated from the people they serve.Democracy should not stop at Election Day.
It should work for the people every day. -
Government should answer to voters, not corporations.
But right now, campaign money from corporate interests and PACs has too much influence over who gets elected and what gets passed.
That’s not representation. That’s influence for sale.
My Plan
Stronger Campaign Finance Rules.
Limit the influence of corporate money in state elections.More Transparency.
Require clear, real-time disclosure of who is funding campaigns.Level the Playing Field.
Make it easier for grassroots candidates to compete.Elections should be decided by voters, not the highest bidder.
Your voice should matter more than a corporate check.
-
Elections should be competitive.
In Indiana, most districts are drawn in a way that voters don’t get much of a say.
In fact, roughly 70–80% of Statehouse seats are not competitive.That means many elections are effectively decided before you ever vote.
That’s not how democracy is supposed to work.
Politicians are drawing maps that protect themselves instead of representing communities
My Plan
Independent Redistricting.
Take map-drawing out of politicians’ hands and put it with an independent commission.Fair, Clear Standards.
Keep communities together and draw districts that actually reflect voters.Transparency in the Process.
Let Hoosiers see exactly how maps are drawn and who benefits.Elections should be decided by voters, not by how the map is drawn.
If your vote doesn’t matter, your voice doesn’t either.
-
Government works best when people can see what it’s doing.
Many decisions are made behind closed doors and regular Hoosiers are left in the dark.
Transparency builds trust. Secrecy destroys it.
My Plan
Stronger Transparency Laws.
Make it easier and faster to access public records.Open Meetings.
Ensure decisions are made in the open, not behind closed doors.Accountability Measures.
Real consequences when transparency laws are ignored.You deserve to know what your government is doing.
If it affects you, you should be able to see it.
-
Corporations benefit from our workers, our infrastructure, our tax dollars.
If they want our tax dollars, they need to deliver for our communities.
They should be accountable to the people who make their success possible.
Too often, they get the benefits without the responsibility.
My Plan
Accountability for Tax Breaks.
Tie incentives to real job creation and community benefit.Protect Local Communities.
Require impact reviews before major developments.Claw Back Failed Deals.
If promises aren’t kept, taxpayers get their money back.If you profit from Indiana, you should invest in Indiana.
No more blank checks for corporations.
-
Governor Braun has put a “For Sale” sign on Indiana.
His administration is handing out tax breaks and special treatment to some of the richest corporations in the world while asking Hoosiers to accept higher utility bills, more industrial development, and less local control.
That’s not economic development. That’s him selling us out.
My Plan
Declare a Moratorium
Pause approval of new large-scale data centers until Indiana fully understands the impact on our electric grid, water resources, farmland, nearby homeowners, and our local environment.
End Corporate Welfare
Eliminate taxpayer subsidies, tax abatements, and incentives for data centers.
Put Hoosiers First
Pass legislation that protects homeowners, local communities, and our environment.
Make Tech Companies Pay
Require data centers, NOT Indiana families to pay the full cost of the infrastructure they need, including electric grid upgrades, roads, and water utility expansion.
Indiana is not for sale.
Accountability
Leaders must answer to the people.
We demand transparency, honesty, and results from our government so working families can trust their voices are heard.
Freedom
Hoosiers should have the power to build their own lives.
We support policies that protect individual rights, economic opportunity, and the ability to make decisions for your family without interference.
-
Hoosiers are ready.
Let’s stop paying for Michigan’s roads and schools and start paying for our own.
Neighboring states have already legalized cannabis .
We’re surrounded and it is creating jobs, generating revenue, and reducing unnecessary arrests in neighboring states.
Indiana is so far behind.
Hoosiers are crossing state lines to buy legally
Tax revenue is going to other states
Here at home, people are still being arrested for something legal an hour away
My Plan
Legalize Adult Use.
Regulate cannabis like alcohol for adults 21+.Keep It Local.
Prioritize licenses for Indiana small businesses, not out-of-state corporations.Invest in Communities.
Use revenue to support schools, infrastructure, and local communities.Clean Up the Past.
Expunge low-level cannabis offenses so people can move forward.This is about freedom, fairness, and common sense.
If it’s legal next door, it shouldn’t be illegal here.
-
Support Families. Respect Freedom.
Being “pro-life” should mean supporting kids, not policing bodies.
I’m reclaiming this term.
Families are struggling to afford childcare, healthcare, and the basics.
We can do better, while protecting reproductive freedom.
My Plan
Support Families.
Expand access to childcare, healthcare, and early education.Protect Personal Freedom.
Respect the right to make personal medical decisions.Focus on Outcomes.
Lower maternal mortality, support kids, and strengthen families.If we’re serious about valuing life, we have to support families.
Freedom means trusting women and doctors to make decisions our government has no business in.
-
Our justice system should keep communities safe AND treat people fairly.
Right now, too many people are stuck in a system that punishes without helping them get back on track.
That doesn’t make us safer.
My Plan
Smart Sentencing.
Focus prison space on violent offenders and expand alternatives for nonviolent cases.Second Chances.
Expand expungement and reentry programs so people can work and contribute.Support Law Enforcement.
Give officers better tools and more training to keep communities safe.We can be tough on crime and smart about justice.
Accountability and second chances can go hand in hand.
-
Voting should be easy to do .
Many Hoosiers run into unnecessary hurdles just to register or cast a ballot.
That’s not how a democracy should work.
What’s voting look like right now?
Confusing registration rules and deadlines
Eligible voters falling through the cracks
Long lines or limited access in some communities
My Plan
Automatic Voter Registration.
When you get or renew your driver’s license, you’re automatically registered, unless you choose to opt out.Keep It Accurate.
Use existing state records to keep voter rolls up to date and reduce errors.Expand Access.
More early voting, easier absentee voting, and convenient polling locations.Keep It Secure.
Strong safeguards to protect election integrity and voter confidence.Make It Simple.
Clear, consistent rules so every Hoosier knows how to vote.If you’re eligible to vote, you should be able to.
-
Freedom means more than just words.
It means real rights in your daily life.The right to make your own decisions.
The right to speak freely.
The right to practice your faith without interference.
The right to live your life without unnecessary government control.And that freedom includes everyone, no exceptions.
My Plan
Defend Individual Rights
Protect freedom of speech, privacy, and personal decision-making.Freedom Means Everyone. No Exceptions
No Hoosier should face discrimination or lose rights because of who they are, who they love, or how they identify: including gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender Hoosiers.Protect Religious Freedom
Respect the right to practice your faith, without using government to impose it on others.Keep Government in Check
Limit unnecessary interference in people’s lives.Bring Our Constitution Up to Date
Same-sex marriage has been legal for over a decade. Indiana should reflect that reality and enshrine those protections into law.Your rights shouldn’t depend on who you are, who you love, or how you identify.
-
Freedom includes the right to feel safe in your home, your school, and your community.
We can respect the Second Amendment and still fix what isn’t working.
This is about responsibility, consistency, and protecting Hoosier families.
Right now, our laws do not make sense.
You must pass a background check at a gun store, but can skip one through private sales or gun shows. At the same time, dangerous gaps allow firearms to end up in the wrong hands, including domestic abusers and individuals in crisis.
Hoosiers deserve a system that is fair, consistent, and focused on safety.
My Plan
Protect Responsible Ownership
Law-abiding Hoosiers have the right to own firearms. That is not up for debate.Universal Background Checks
Require background checks on all gun sales, including private sales and gun shows. Same rules for everyone. No loopholes.Strengthen Red Flag Laws
Support and strengthen Indiana’s red flag law so firearms can be temporarily removed from individuals who pose a danger to themselves or others, with due process protections.Keep Guns Out of the Hands of Domestic Abusers
Close gaps that allow individuals convicted of domestic violence or subject to protective orders to access firearms.Promote Safe Storage
Encourage and expand safe storage practices to prevent accidental shootings, especially involving children, and reduce gun theft.Address High-Capacity Firepower
Support limits on high-capacity magazines designed for rapid mass harm, while respecting responsible ownership.Enforce the Laws We Already Have
Ensure existing laws are properly enforced so violent offenders do not slip through the cracks.Invest in Community Safety
Support mental health resources and community-based violence prevention programs that address the root causes of violence.We do not have to choose between rights and safety.
We can protect both.
