“I am an attorney and small business owner living in Columbus, Indiana, with my wife and 3 children. I grew up on a farm in Jennings County and attending public schools there.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey) “Nearly 20 years of Republican control of Indiana state government has left us near the bottom in many, many categories, often ranking last in quality of life. We rank at or near the bottom in water and air pollution; public health funding, overall health and infant mortality; teacher pay and wages, to name a few.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey) “Public schools are under attack in this state. Massive cuts in funding, combined with a ridiculous voucher system that forces taxpayers to pay private school tuition for millionaires, have left us with large class sizes, cuts in programs and among the lowest teacher pay in the country. We need to make public education a priority. It is the hub of our communities and a cornerstone of vibrant economy.”
