State representatives serve two-year terms. Adapted from https://ballotpedia.org/Indiana_House_of_Representatives and https://iga.in.gov/information/about.

I am for all means of legally supporting an individual's right to vote. I am prepared to vote against voting restrictions. I am interested in pursuing measures to make voting more accessible - federal holiday, move election day to a weekend, expand public transportation, continuation of early voting and mail-in voting. Whatever it takes to make the people feel empowered to vote legally.
Yes. This is a big reason why I am running for HD47. Indiana is currently pushing against efforts to address climate issues. Voting for a more balanced state government would be a great step forward.
All state leadership need to acknowledge that there is an issue. When pursuing economic development, ESG considerations are a top priority. Third, agriculture is an industry just like fossil fuels or Tech. Ag should not be exempt from any environmental rules. This is particularly true for the factory farming industry. Lastly, new buildings or expansions (residential or commercial) over a certain amount (let's say $500,000) should be required include renewable energy for their expanded energy needs. No additional fossil fuel energy.
Absolutely, this is already done for the most part. We would just need to fill some gaps. Don't let the current Assembly's ignorance let you think that we don't know what is going on with our water. The Great Lakes and 99% of Indiana's waterways are not connected or even in the same watershed.
I will continue to support public schools which provide fact-based well-developed curriculum. Again, simply voting in a more balanced General Assembly will go a long way to making this happen. Myself and my wife attended public schools, two of our three children went to public schools and we plan on our third child to attend a public school. I have been very happy with all of our educations. We simply need to keep the uneducated conspiracy theorists away from our well-educated teachers and administrators so that they can do their jobs.
Most of my work to this point has been subject to public record. Most of my work is subject to discovery if legal action is pursued. Transparency has been a way of life. I will do my best to continue to communicate outside of the statehouse in order for people to understand my position and thought process.
