MADVoters Survey Responses
Healthcare: The Big Beautiful Bill is projected to cut $31 billion from Indiana’s Medicaid funding, including almost $13 billion in hospital funding, over the next decade. What will you do if elected to ensure healthcare affordability and access given these changes? (Source: Indiana Hospital Association)
We need to work together to have affordable premiums for the less fortunate so that healthcare access can be for all and not just some
Economics: AI and data centers are having a huge impact on jobs and communities across the nation, particularly in Indiana. What is Congress’s role in addressing this developing technology? What action will you take to hear and represent the concerns of Hoosiers on this topic?
Economics: Dozens of AI data centers are planning to come to Indiana, drawn by the state’s “business-friendly” reputation. How should Indiana manage these large industrial site proposals and their potential impact on communities? (Source: Citizens Action Coalition)
We need state legislature to ensure we are using a uniform system as well as community input from the start. We need to ensure the costs are fair to the community, and be assured of any long term effects once the center is no longer functional.
Education: Describe your stance on the Department of Education and its role in education administration, funding, and protections for students with disabilities.
Education: Since 2012, Indiana has spent over $5.5 billion in taxpayer dollars on charter schools and the private school voucher program. If elected, would you support or oppose the use of taxpayer dollars to funding private schools and charter schools? Why or why not? (Source: ICPE)
I oppose and taxpayer dollars that are being spent on charter schools and private schools. The funds should be for public school funding. We can’t afford to shortchange our public schools as our children are our future. We must protect this at all costs.
Democracy: In your opinion, what is the biggest challenge or threat facing our democracy right now? If elected, what will you do to help overcome this challenge or threat?
We need to learn to be civil with each other. We also need to pass legislation that is fair to all and not just those in power. We need not pass laws to make homelessness a misdemeanor when we can pass more sensible laws geared at assisting others in the hopes they don’t become homeless should they fall on hard times.
Community: Describe your stance on ICE and its role in immigration enforcement and detention.
Community: What role or responsibility do local and state governments have with regards to immigration enforcement?
We need to follow the law, and not try to circumvent it in an attempt to punish others or falsely accuse in an attempt to have persons removed from the US
