The Issues
Education Advocate
Access to High-Quality Child Care
Access to High-Quality Child Care
As a licensed Indiana Special Education teacher, I know the harmful effects improper education policies have on our children and on our community. Every school district is unique and local administration and school boards know the best policies for their communities. Accountability and transparency for all state dollars spent on education is my priority.
Access to High-Quality Child Care
Access to High-Quality Child Care
Access to High-Quality Child Care
The COVID pandemic left many families with few choices for the safe, educational, and nurturing childcare they need to hold onto their jobs. Indiana invests less in early childhood education than almost all the other states, despite research showing that every dollar invested in early childhood education bring $7-$13 in savings to the State. We must invest in our youngest Hoosiers and support families’ efforts to achieve and maintain financial security.
Smaller State Government

When state government overreaches its boundaries, local governments are powerless to correct the error. Indiana’s state law requiring municipalities to award local contracts to the lowest bidder gave Fort Wayne a trash company incapable of duplicating its predecessor’s performance, and our residents suffer the consequences of that flawed law. In addition, education policies best left to local communities are passed by state lawmakers with no consideration of the uniqueness of each school district.
