“Although we are very happy after welcoming a little girl into our lives last May, something is wrong in our community. Our schools are getting more expensive and Indiana’s state government is depriving our kids of needed resources. Parents like us are constantly squeezed by the rising costs of childcare while Indianapolis shows no interest in helping.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)
“People who want to send their kids to the best public schools in the state can barely afford to live in the PHM or Mishawaka school districts. Katie and I are afraid that we will have to deal with one of a parent’s worst nightmare: that our kids won’t have the same enriching and safe childhood that we did.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)
