The government should ensure every American has access to affordable, quality healthcare while protecting patient choice and strengthening local providers. In rural and under-resourced areas like many communities in Indiana’s 6th District, that means investing in rural hospitals, expanding telehealth, supporting mobile clinics, and incentivizing doctors and nurses to practice in underserved areas through loan forgiveness and workforce programs. We must also lower prescription drug costs and modernize programs like Medicare and Medicaid so they work better for patients and providers. Healthcare should never depend on your ZIP code or income.
We should protect both election security and every eligible citizen’s right to vote. That means maintaining secure voter rolls, paper ballot backups, and transparent audits while also expanding access through early voting, accessible polling locations, and reasonable vote-by-mail options. We should also modernize election infrastructure and strengthen protections against foreign interference and digital manipulation. Secure elections and accessible voting are not opposing goals — they are both essential to a healthy democracy and public trust.
Government should take a practical, science-driven approach that protects both our environment and our economy. That includes investing in clean energy innovation, modernizing infrastructure, strengthening disaster preparedness, and supporting farmers and manufacturers in adopting resilient and sustainable practices. In Indiana, that means supporting energy diversification, protecting farmland, and creating good-paying jobs in new technologies and advanced manufacturing. Addressing climate challenges should focus on innovation, economic opportunity, and protecting our communities for future generations.
The biggest challenges facing Indiana’s 6th District are rising costs of living, stagnant wages, access to healthcare, and the loss of good-paying jobs in rural communities. Families are working harder than ever but still struggling to afford groceries, housing, and healthcare. My focus is on solutions that raise wages while protecting small businesses, bringing manufacturing jobs back to our communities, lowering healthcare and prescription costs, and investing in rural infrastructure and workforce training. These policies were developed by listening directly to Hoosiers across the district, not by political consultants in Washington.
For the past year, I have been traveling across the district sitting at kitchen tables, visiting small businesses, meeting with farmers, workers, law enforcement, and families to hear directly from them. That approach will continue if I’m elected. I will hold regular town halls across all counties in the district, maintain an open constituent services office, and use both in-person and digital tools to gather input. Policy decisions should come from the people living the problems, not from political insiders. My job as a representative is to listen to everyone — not just the people who voted for me — and bring those voices to Washington, and turn them into real solutions.

The government must manage its expenditures including-first and foremost-healthcare. The American Healthcare system should not be subsidizing insurance companies and their administrators. It is imperative that an overhaul of the current health care model occur, that Medicare and Medicaid thrive, and that citizen’s dollars reach the local and rural doctors and hospitals instead of profiting the insurance companies. Rural and under resourced hospitals are being decimated by the current system with maternal healthcare in particular under attack. We must overhaul all of healthcare, restore the patient and doctor relationship, and set guardrails on pricing to ensure that underserved and rural communities have access to healthcare.
Our elections are the most secure in the world. It is a fiction to tout fraud is replete in our elections. The fiction is only put forth by those in and outside government that cannot overcome fair elections seeking to blame others for their failures. The false notion of insecurity of elections should not be used to disenfranchise women and minorities through legislation like the American Save Act. Such legislation is an effort to attack women, minorities, and the disenfranchised, attempting to assail their right to access the poles. Requiring women to petition the Court to change their birth certificate to their married name is a glaring example and solely serves to make it more difficult for women to vote and serves no other purpose.
Our role as a government is to protect the people where outside interests can attack the protections for and needs of the public good. Clean air and water are non-negotiable requirements for our current and future generations. If we allow billionaires and corporations to pollute without consequence, we will lose our present and all that is needed for our future. We must preserve and protect our Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act. Data Centers are a perfect example of the oncoming attacks to our friends and neighbors. Their impact on the local and rural communities is devastating, and must be of heightened importance.
In speaking with the people of the 6th District listening to their challenges and concerns, it is evident that the current healthcare, trade, farming, and manufacturing policies are not in place to benefit them. They are instead put in place and established to support the corporations seeking to profit off the people. Currently, the billionaire administration and 6th District incumbent worth hundreds of millions of dollars are facilitating these matters to their benefit and to the benefit of out-of-state financial interests at the expense of the eleven counties in the District. Someone must represent the interests of the people of the 6th District in Washington and fight back.
The United States House of Representatives is the body of government where the voice of the voter can truly be reflected through its elected officials. My bosses would solely be the people of the 6th District. Their input is tantamount to representative government. If given the grace to represent the people of the 6th District, my offices will be centralized in a manner to be made available to all whether it is Franklin, McCordsville, Shelbyville, Richmond, New Castle, Rushville, Connersville, Greenwood, Hope, Columbus, Fortville, Lynn, Beach Grove, Liberty, or Camby and every town in between. Instead of phone lines made available to call to a dead end, I intend to be present for their concerns and desires.

Rural and under-resourced areas are just as important as urban communities throughout our state. Americans are required to pay taxes, which provide funding for public services like healthcare. By providing access to affordable healthcare and adequate funding for Medicaid and Medicare, Americans can expect to receive quality healthcare, no matter where they choose to live.
Americans should feel safe casting their vote and be confident in knowing their ballot was counted. If elected, I will work earnestly to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act into law.
The government has a role to ensure the environmental safety of its citizens. That means creating and amending policy as necessary to promote and incentivize the usage of renewable energy and the reduction of carbon emissions. This is especially true with the surge of proposed data centers in urban and rural areas. It is the government's responsibility to counter our negative impacts on the environment by instituting reforms to ensure the health and well-being of Americans.
Hoosiers in the 6th District are struggling financially, and it has become more difficult for people to afford their mortgage, rent, groceries, utilities, healthcare, prescription drugs, and childcare. Healthcare is being ripped away from many Hoosiers as a result of Medicaid funding cuts in the One Big Beautiful Bill, and rural hospitals are beginning to shutter specific departments.
And Social Security faces insolvency by 2032 if we do not act to fund this important program that millions of Americans have faithfully paid into and depend on.
I will improve the quality of life of Hoosiers by working to raise the minimum wage to $25.00 an hour, restoring funding for Medicaid, and fully funding Social Security in order to ensure solvency.
If elected, I will hold town halls quarterly in each of the 11 counties of the 6th District to listen to constituents’ concerns, answer questions, and provide necessary solutions.
I will also institute a policy for my office staff to follow up with all correspondence within two business days and will distribute a monthly newsletter outlining my actions in Congress.

Health care is a public good, not a for-profit privilege for the wealthy. We need a Medicare-for-All, universal, single-payer system for everyone in the US, that includes medical, dental, vision, and mental health care.
For rural and under-resourced areas, we need solutions that:
-Fully fund rural hospitals and clinics to keep basic care close by.
-Create incentives for doctors, nurses, and mental health professionals to practice in underserved communities.
-Invest in community health centers, school-based clinics, and telehealth, so geography does not decide who lives and who dies.
We need to ensure that every person, regardless of income, ZIP code, or job, can get the care they need, when they need it, without going broke or bankrupt.
We must expand voting access and secure elections based on facts, not fear. No evidence shows widespread voter fraud. What we do see, backed by our current IN-06 Congressman, are laws creating new barriers that silence students, women, Black and Brown voters, low-income families, and rural Hoosiers.
We need automatic voter registration, same-day and online options, early voting, mail ballots, and secure drop boxes so everyone votes easily and securely.
I'll co-sponsor the Freedom to Vote Act and John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to override suppression, protect youth voting and drop boxes, and guarantee IN-06 students and workers vote easily. Democracy thrives when every eligible Hoosier can securely and easily cast their vote.
As a scientist, I stand with the consensus: human activity drives dangerous climate change. Climate change is floods, droughts, and heat waves that hurt family farms, jack up grocery bills, and hit working folks hardest. Addressing climate change is about breathing clean air, keeping our crops from washing away, and our lights on when the grid fails.
I'll fight to rejoin international climate leadership and align policy with what science demands to slash CO2 levels, restore EPA protections for air, water, land and hit corporate polluters with fines that hurt. I’ll work to invest in locally supported renewable energy, modernize the grid, and promote green jobs with good wages and local investment.
Science demands action. People over profits
Indiana's 6th District faces crushing healthcare costs, unaffordable housing, non-liveable wages, tax dollars stolen from public schools, gutted environmental protections, and politicians selling out to corporate profits.
As a teacher, I watched kids go hungry without basic medical care, families priced out of homes, and schools out of paper while polluters poison our air and water, hitting children, seniors, and the chronically ill hardest. These crises drove me to run.
I'll fight for Medicare for All, affordable housing, a federal living wage, fully funded public schools for every child, restored EPA fines on polluters, and laws stopping billionaires from hijacking Congress to fatten their portfolios.
People over Profits. Always.
I'll always listen to my community first. Real change starts from the ground up, not from high-priced D.C. think tanks. As a teacher who's seen families' struggles in classrooms, I know every day Hoosiers must lead the way.
I'll hold regular listening sessions online, in schools, churches, and union halls to hear from workers, parents, teachers, students, farmers, and retirees, and have a dedicated website/hotline for year-round ideas and coffee chats in every county.
I'll hold focus groups and send surveys before major votes, and gather data from an annual "State of the District" survey of voters, schools, clinics, and nonprofits on healthcare, housing, childcare, wages, and pollution.
