“Southern Indiana's working families are being squeezed from every direction. Corporate monopolies control our farm markets. Rural hospitals are closing. Wages haven't kept pace with the cost of living. I'm running on a Rural New Deal: raise the minimum wage to a living wage, support Right to Repair so farmers can fix their own equipment, treat rural broadband like electricity as a public necessity, and hold corporate monopolies accountable. Your zip code should not determine your destiny.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey) “Nearly 30% of Indiana's rural hospitals are at risk of closing. Over 1 in 5 neighbors in our district relies on Medicaid, and nearly 2 in 5 children depend on Medicaid or CHIP for basic care. Mental healthcare is nearly nonexistent in more than 60 of Indiana's 92 counties. I will fight every cut to healthcare coverage, invest in rural health infrastructure, cap prescription drug costs, and ensure no Hoosier family goes bankrupt from a medical bill.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey) “District 69 deserves a representative who shows up every single day, not just six weeks before an election. I filed on the first day of the filing period because this community can't wait. I'll fight for legislative term limits, a ban on corporate donors, campaign finance reform, and an end to gerrymandering. I'm making a "Show Up Commitment": investing in county committees, training local leaders, and being present in every township, every year.”

“Through the READI program, Indiana's investment in its communities continues to pay big dividends. These public-private partnerships have spurred amazing growth throughout the state and in our region, and this new funding will help continue that momentum.”
(Official legislative website) “Illegal immigration is not just a Texas problem, but an issue that concerns every state's right to sovereignty and safety. Indiana has a strong track record of helping the Lone Star State secure the southern border, and now is the time to act. I pray for the well-being of these Hoosiers as they prepare to join Texas effort to bolster our nation's security.”
(Official legislative website) “Thanks to years of conservative leadership, Indiana is set to return more money to taxpayers while maintaining strong reserves and paying off debt. With bad federal policies driving up inflation and prices, Hoosier families deserve to keep more of what they earn. Next year my goal is to continue to look into ways to encourage continued growth in our state by reducing business personal property taxes.”
