As a staunch advocate for environmental stewardship, I prioritize implementing aggressive policies to combat pollution and address climate change. This existential threat demands immediate action, whether through supporting initiatives like The Green New Deal or pursuing alternative resolutions. It's imperative that we unite our efforts, channeling our collective determination to safeguard the future for generations to come.
Ensuring equitable access to comprehensive reproductive health services stands as a cornerstone of promoting societal well-being and fairness.
I staunchly advocate for educational excellence, extending to robust sex education within schools. Additionally, universal healthcare, encompassing affordable contraception, is paramount, coupled with unwavering support for safeguarding women's reproductive rights.
Quality prenatal care, maternal health services, and robust support for pregnant individuals, especially those hailing from marginalized communities, are non-negotiable imperatives.
Crucially, I stand firm in my belief that being pro-choice is not just a stance; it's a fundamental right that demands codification into law.
In addressing the need for affordable housing, I advocate for comprehensive measures that ensure housing is accessible to all individuals, regardless of their economic status. This includes repurposing vacant homes to provide immediate relief to those experiencing homelessness. Additionally, I support policies aimed at promoting economic justice in housing, such as rent control measures, affordable housing initiatives, and programs to assist low-income families in securing stable housing. It's imperative that we prioritize the well-being of our communities by guaranteeing everyone has a place to call home, laying the foundation for a more equitable society.

As a candidate committed to environmental stewardship, I believe strongly in policies to combat pollution and its impact on climate and the environment. This includes advocating for regulations on industrial emissions and environmental impact, investing in renewable energy sources, and supporting initiatives to preserve and restore ecosystems.
Additionally, I prioritize community engagement and collaboration to address local environmental concerns effectively. By prioritizing science-based solutions and fostering partnerships, we can mitigate pollution's harmful effects, safeguard our planet for future generations, and build a cleaner, more sustainable future for all. Indiana is ranked 49th in pollution and air quality. We must do better.
As an Emergency Physician, I've saved the lives of pregnant women who had to make the tough choice to live or die. I've had to witness the trauma of rape and incest - and I've seen that the continued trauma of a woman's or girl's pregnancy from an act of sexual violence. The doctor-patient relationship is based in science, trust, empathy, and faith - and the government has no role in the exam room.
Fighting poverty is a moral imperative. I will focus on targeted policies addressing education, job creation, and social support programs to lift our community members out of poverty.
I also believe in working with the private sector to promote the construction of more housing, limiting the red tape around sustainable development and providing incentives for affordable home construction.
As the son of a man who built homeless shelters for a living, I understand the importance of helping the less fortunate and housing the unhoused.
