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)
Cap prescription drug prices within the state, remove unnecessary barriers for Medicaid access within Indiana, provide rural support for healthcare access. All of that being said, we'll have to update our own budget to offset the changes put forth in OBBB.
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)
As someone who has a hyper-scale center being built 1 mile from my home, this is important to me. Regulation is key to ensuring responsible use of our electric and water utilities. Also, we have to remove the tax break incentive based on how much a company spends. It's bad policy to enrich the few while Hoosiers pay the bill in the end.
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)
Tax dollars are meant to provide a public service, and in this case, public schools. We cannot expect our teachers and students to be successful if we are draining their resources. Remove the voucher program altogether.
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?
It's a web of problems, each connected to the others. Misinformation, algorithms, and leaders pushing propaganda.
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?
Immigration is a federal issue. State and local resources should be focused on state and local crime.
