Biographical Information

What is the first bill you would champion in the 2025 legislative session? Why that one?

What, if anything, would you change about the way Indiana’s K-12 education system is funded?

States across the nation are debating how to teach concepts of sex, race, ethnicity, religion, national origin, and political affiliation in K-12 schools. What role should teachers, parents and legislators play in determining curricular content?

What is your view of Indiana’s current firearms laws? What, if anything, would you change?

Does Indiana adequately protect our natural environment? Are additional regulations needed?

The tragic death of six children living in a house that had failed safety inspections before it burned has brought attention to the problem of safe, affordable housing in our state. For example, Indiana is one of only six states that don’t allow rent to be held in escrow if safety standards aren’t met. Should the legislature enact a similar law or any other measures to improve housing conditions for Hoosier families?

Indiana ranks poorly when it comes to maternal and infant health. What, if anything, should the legislature do about this problem?

The state is primarily responsible for conducting elections. Which is a bigger problem in Indiana, voter access or voter fraud? What, if any, election laws would you like to see changed?

How do you balance home rule for local government versus uniform decisions handed down by a higher level of government? Is your philosophy consistent when weighing state vs federal power and weighing state vs local power? Why or why not? (Please provide concrete examples, such as the state overturning local tax rates or puppy mill bans, or federal government setting policies on immigration or marijuana.)
