What are the top three legislative priorities you believe the Indiana General Assembly should address in the upcoming session?
Tackling homelessness, enshrining the right to abortion in state law, and tackling the rising cost of housing.
What do you see as the unique opportunities and challenges facing Marion County and how will you work to address them? How will those efforts impact the broader Central Indiana region and/or the rest of the state?
We must be a shining example to the rest of the state and show what we can become when we overcome congressional gridlock. We need to release funding to repair our infrastructure, we need to get and keep religion out of politics and we need to provide a safer and kinder future for future generations.
What should the state government do to provide an equitable, quality education for all children pre-K through grade 12?
Heavily subsidize and regulate kindergarten and provide more funding to public schools that have lower test scores rather than the other way around.
What measures would you propose to increase voter engagement and access in our state?
Expanding mail in voting, limiting voter roll expungement and making voter registration automatic.
I believe environmental legislation in response to climate change is necessary.
