Amy’s Common Sense Priorities for Indiana

As a school board member and former teacher, I believe that children should have the same high-quality education, regardless of their zip code, and that teachers and school staff should be paid competitive wages..

I believe that charter schools and private schools that accept vouchers should be held to the same standards of transparency as public schools because taxpayers have a right to know how those dollars are being spent.

I also believe in local control and that the legislature should let local school boards decide what’s best for their community.

All Hoosiers deserve health care that is safe, accessible and affordable. Cuts to Medicaid and Medicare hurt Hoosier families.

I support increased funding for public health programs that help people maintain their medications and stay healthy, so they need less emergency care. Closing rural hospitals and ending federal support for health insurance purchased on the exchange only hurts struggling families..

Utility bills are skyrocketing in 2025 because legislators are allowing regulated utilities to charge users for experimental technologies that may never produce needed energy.

I support utility companies and their stockholders bearing the burden of these technologies until they are producing energy that benefits citizens.
