The Issues
Affordability
Whether you are in Carmel or Kokomo, you feel the squeeze at the checkout line, in your monthly bills, and in your healthcare costs because businesses prioritize bank accounts. I’ll fight to control skyrocketing costs and ensure that Hoosier families come before corporate profits.
Here’s how:
Make housing affordable for Hoosiers by banning Wall Street hedge funds from buying single-family homes.
Lower grocery prices by blocking grocery mega-mergers and reversing recent tariffs.
Control healthcare costs by protecting and expanding federal subsidies.
Control utility costs by requiring data centers, not consumers, to pay for their electrical costs and energy impact.
Accountability
Politicians are making life-altering decisions without oversight, turning neighborhoods into combat zones. I’ll fight to bring federal agencies out of the shadows, stop the pattern of lawless behavior, and ensure that no one is above the law.
Here’s how:
Hold ICE accountable for their actions by requiring all agents to wear body cameras, remove masks, and release use-of-force footage to the public
Restore Congressional oversight by investigating agencies that have sidelined their own watchdogs, such as the Department of Homeland Security for bypassing judicial warrants and the Department of Justice for its role in suppressing First Amendment rights of journalists.
Block voter suppression tactics and ensure every Hoosier's voice is heard.
Demand Leader Transparency by calling agency heads from the EPA and USDA to Congress to answer for rogue tactics, overreaching land seizures, and the redirection of resources away from civil rights offices.
Hoosier Voices
I’ve been one of the most accessible members of Indiana’s General Assembly and that will continue in Washington. With regular town halls and public contact information, I will keep your concerns at the top of my priorities list. As soon as I’m in Congress, I’ll take action on the issues I’ve already heard from Hoosiers.
Here’s how:
Support veterans with expanded access to mental healthcare and simplified VA claims process.
Protect schools and neighborhoods by enacting common-sense gun safety measures, like universal background checks and red flag laws to keep our schools and neighborhoods safe.
Protect Reproductive Freedom by codifying Roe v. Wade into federal law to ensure every American can make their own healthcare decisions.
Stand with Labor to maintain well-paying career opportunities so working Hoosiers receive fair wages and safe conditions.
Social Security
Hoosiers earned their social security benefits and it's on us to ensure they get them.
Here’s how:
Scrap the cap on earnings more than $250,000, ensuring we all pay our fair share to fund the system for generations.
Reverse DOGE cuts and restore staffing at our local field offices
Require a full-time Commissioner who isn't splitting their attention as the CEO of the IRS.
ICE and Immigration
Families across Indiana and the country are living in a state of paralyzing fear as neighborhoods are upended and parents are torn from their children. ICE should be abolished and replaced with a restructured agency that enforces immigration laws with different priorities and greater oversight.
Here’s how:
Mandate Body Cameras and ensure footage of use-of-force incidents is released to the public.
End Masked Raids, requiring agents to clearly identify themselves and present signed judicial warrants before entering any home.
Increase Training Standards by requiring federal agents to meet or exceed the rigorous de-escalation standards of local professional law enforcement.
Reverse DOGE cuts and restore staffing in immigration courtrooms to process immigration documentation efficiently and effectively
LGBTQ+ Civil Rights
As the first out-serving member of the Indiana General Assembly, I know that equality is a necessity. I’ve fought against state-level attacks on our dignity, and I’ll do it again in Washington. I’ll fight to ensure our rights are protected by law, not subject to the whims of whoever is in the White House.
Here’s how:
Guarantee full participation in American life by passing the Equality Act, ensuring that discrimination in employment, housing, and public spaces is prohibited in every corner of our country.
Protect the lives and healthcare of military members by passing the No Place for LGBTQ+ Hate Act, ensuring our service members are never discharged for who they are and that their families never lose access to their trusted doctors.
Ensure Hoosiers can live, work, and learn with dignity by passing the Transgender Bill of Rights to guarantee that a person’s gender identity never prevents them from participating in any aspect of public life.
Safeguard the right to build a family by defending and strengthening federal protections for marriage equality, ensuring that the government never interferes with the most personal decisions of our lives.
Legalize Marijuana
Indiana loses nearly $240 million and an invaluable number of Hoosier lives each year to antiquated marijuana laws that prioritize prohibition over public health. I’ll support the MORE Act, fight to end the federal stalemate and treat cannabis like the regulated, taxable, and professional industry it should be.
Here’s how:
Increase state tax revenue by de-scheduling marijuana at the federal level, ending the drain of Hoosier tax dollars to Illinois and Michigan and allowing Indiana to use those funds in our own communities.
Keep neighborhoods safe by passing the SAFE Banking Act so local marijuana distributors can access the same banking services as any other industry.
Remove barriers to employment and housing by expunging federal records for non-violent cannabis offenses, ensuring that a past mistake doesn't dictate a Hoosier's future.
