“Families in Southwestern Indiana have been feeling the strain from the rising cost of living and want their concerns addressed. Everyday people are choosing which bills to pay each month between the increased cost of groceries, energy, and healthcare. Addressing working Hoosiers affordability issues are the top priority of this campaign to ensure Hoosiers can get a fair shot. It shouldn't be this hard to get ahead and I want to help put regular Hoosiers first, not special interests.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)
“Raising a family in Southwestern Indiana shouldn’t feel overwhelming and unobtainable. Housing costs are rising, childcare is hard to find, and too many families are being squeezed just trying to get by. Hoosiers want more affordable places to live, support for local childcare providers, and real relief for working parents. I want to incentivize our young families to establish roots here so our communities can continue to thrive.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)
“Healthcare costs are increasing for our seniors and a lot of them are feeling uncertain about their retirements. Folks are putting off care or stressing about bills, and that’s not how it should be. There are commonsense, practical steps we can take to bring down common prescription costs and make it easier to see a doctor close to home. Legislators should be making sure people can get help when they need it without worrying about the cost of care bankrupting them.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)
