With an anticipated biennium budget of $40B+, the question is not whether or not Indiana can afford to invest in Hoosiers. Rather, the question should be what are the priorities most important to Hoosiers that we should fund. I am committed to working in a bipartisan fashion with my colleagues to reform our tax system and put more money in Hoosiers’ pockets.![]()

My statement in opposition to HB1136 (bill to dismantle IPS) that I shared with Russ McQuaid/Fox59-CBS 4:![]()
![]()
HB1136 has a racial component that advances discriminatory policies that target two of the largest minority communities in IN (Gary and Indianapolis). This legislation has nothing to do with choice and has everything to do with dismantling public education as we know it today.![]()
![]()
I oppose HB1136 and will work tirelessly to defeat it. We owe it to 1 million students in traditional public education across IN to fully fund their schools and take care of their educators and support staff. The General Assembly needs to quit politicizing education and playing games with the future of our children.![]()

o maintain a physical office in IN or appoint an Indiana-licensed real estate broker or broker company to manage their rental properties.![]()

Both bills are focused on protecting tenants’ rights to a healthy and safe home, ensuring they live in safe, habitable conditions while holding negligent landlords accountable. ![]()

IN is experiencing a housing crisis: lack of affordable housing options, high evictions, and homelessness. Let’s work together to increase affordable housing options for all Hoosiers. ![]()
