Finding real answers to property tax reform and local government funding

Ensuring progress in enhancing Indiana's education system
I am the father of five young children, which keeps me in touch with the real challenges that Indiana families are facing right now in Indiana.

My wife and I come from large families that represent a myriad of different vocations, including construction workers, mechanics, small business owners, police officers, medical workers, first responders, government workers, ministers, farmers, teachers, and more. This provides me with experience from a broad range of the electorate that will give me a real-life perspective in the legislature.

I hold a Bachelor's degree, a Master of Arts degree, and have earned a PhD. This has given me the know how to research issues and assimilate facts, creating solutions and solving problems based on research.
Homes should not be bought up in droves by rental companies without any caps on the number of homes purchased. Investment companies have huge budgets and can pay more than most individual buyers. This drives up the cost for home buyers, while also creating a monopoly on the rental industry. Thus, big investment companies can charge whatever they want to in rent, and renters are forced to pay it.
Education--This is key to the future of our society and is key to the success of our children. Community Safety--In addition to the loss of life and property, without community safety, people lack security and will end up moving away, etc., leading to economic downturns. Infrastructure--As the Crossroads of America, our roads and bridges need to be maintained well. Housing--this is one of the biggest economic factors for a growing family.

When datacenters are approved in a certain locality, the data center should bear its own weight in paying for utilities, rather than the property owners and homeowners in the vicinity.
