Statehouse Democrats proposed to ban sales of publicly-regulated utilities to private equity, like the AES & NIPSCO deals. Republicans who control the legislature said NO. With your vote in November, we'll pass the ban.

Growing up, I learned that party labels don't tell the whole story about who people are. People are more complicated than that. We care about our families, communities, businesses, & whether government is actually working for us. That's why I've always believed leadership is about service.

The graphic displays an image of a clipping from the Congressional Comittee on Science, Space, and Technology's letter to President Donald J. Trump sent on May 12th, 2026 condeming the firing of the entire National Science Board. The clipping expresses the commitee's outrage for the firing of the NSB and their concern for the ways this will weaken American science. Another clipping reads: "Purging the 22 scientists who are responsible for guiding NSF is the nail in the coffin for an agency that has weathered 15 months of attacks by you and your ignorant cronies."

If we actually want to appreciate moms, we should be providing free childcare, healthcare, and guaranteed income for stay-at-home parents to put more money in families’ pockets and ensure no SAHP is reliant on a partner for their economic security. Idk I think that’s better than 15% off a vacuum.
