Lightening the load for working families, reducing everyday financial pressure so Hoosiers can keep more of what they earn and stay on solid footing.
Keeping decision making authority over our land, growth, and community where it belongs, right here at home.
Giving our children, teachers, and schools the resources they need to thrive and set the next generation up for success.
My campaign is rooted in accountability. It's time to shift the focus back to the day-to-day concerns of working families in District 75.
When a political position is secured without a contested primary or public debate, accountability shifts toward the party establishment. I am stepping up to ensure our district has a fully contested general election with clear public choices.
The healthcare market in Southwest Indiana features high levels of provider consolidation, making pricing opaque for small businesses facing rising premiums. Our incumbent has a background in healthcare yet hasn't advanced legislation enforcing strict, upfront transparency. Healthcare providers should be required to publish clear, upfront cash pricing for standard procedures.
In February 2025, the IURC approved an $80 million revenue increase for CenterPoint, directly impacting household budgets. While utility costs have risen, consumer protections have lagged. I will introduce legislation to reform the IURC review process and mandate independent forensic public financial audits before rate hikes are approved.
Senate Enrolled Act 1, enacted in April 2025, modified countywide distributions to municipalities, requiring local councils to adjust budgets and impacting local service fees, including public sewer utilities. Understanding these fiscal shifts is essential for addressing local government budgeting.
SEA 1 also modified the depreciation floor on business personal property, shifting tax burdens across local property classes. This impacts housing economics and residential construction. My focus is on reviewing these tax provisions to ensure a balanced tax code that supports homeownership and local development.
When energy infrastructure projects like carbon sequestration pipelines utilize eminent domain, it impacts private landowners. While the current establishment supports energy sector priorities, I am committed to strengthening landowner protections and restricting the use of eminent domain for private corporate infrastructure.
Legislative spending should reflect the economic realities of local constituents. While families adjusted budgets for utility hikes, the legislature passed tax exemptions for professional sports entities. State resources must be focused on local cost-of-living relief, vocational training, and infrastructure that directly benefits working families.
