Tax reform for homeowners legislation to protect our first responders
I have served in law enforcement since 1998, I served as a firefighter/EMT, I have been a union sheet metal worker. I have seen family lose property to property taxes. I have experience doing the jobs that everyday Hoosiers do to pay bills, raise families, and save for the future. I still have family doing these jobs that keep our state running. I would champion legislation to protect Hoosiers working to keep this state the best in the Mid-West.
I am looking for solutions to end property tax on homes without a mortgage. Hoosiers need the security that comes with true ownership. Hoosiers need tax breaks not corporations. I am excited to find ways to save Hoosier families hard earned dollars and keep the economy flowing and pouring money back into the state.
Community safety: because everyone has a desire to be safe in their homes and communities. Education: Because our youth are our future. They need every opportunity to be competitive on the on the world stage. Infrastructure: Because we have needed to upgrade our infrastructure for years and we do not want to fall farther and farther behind. Each topic speaks for itself and need to be addressed. I will support any bill that supports Hoosier families and makes our state better.
Water pollution and waste disposal. I believe both are manageable and Hoosiers, being imaginative can and will find ways to manage and control these environmental challenges.
Data centers are a necessary evil. nobody wants them anywhere close to their neighborhood. The state should identify areas that will be beneficial for everyone. We have warehouse districts that could support data centers that won't disturb housing areas who value nature and not the sound of industry running 24/7. The data centers should be good stewards of the state and community by not increasing water and electric bills for everyday consumers.

1. Eliminate property taxes 2. Redefine the outcome of Opioid Abuse Disorder treatment to detoxification.
A diverse education and work experience relevant to that education. Plus, I recognize we have a representative republic rather than a democracy.
In the national ranking, Indiana’s cost-of-living affordability sits about 9% below the national average. But since 2020, housing costs are up about 50%, rents are up about 25%, electricity costs are up about 17%, and we have major childcare challenges. To address this, I support policies like by-right development for single-family homes, duplexes, and triplexes, preempting seemingly endless local hearings that slow supply. I also back incentives for redeveloping underused land and building more entry-level homes to expand options and ease pressure on prices.
1. Childcare 2. Education
Water polution and impaired waterways
I support requiring comprehensive, independent – not developer-funded – impact assessments for every proposed data center, covering energy, water, and land demands. I will end sales-tax exemptions. As a legislator, I would push for public hearings held at a single location in Indianapolis so that all stakeholders know where to attend. I would require a baseline for residential energy costs, limiting growth to ensure the data center pays for the infrastructure required to supply its energy.
