Education

Hoosiers are willing to pay more taxes to improve their children’s education. They want better facilities and increased funding for public school systems.

Health Care

Hoosiers strongly support finding a way to make health care more accessible and affordable. In particular, they support expanding Medicaid eligibility and protecting coverage for vulnerable populations.

Immigration

Infrastructure

Hoosiers want their legislature to prioritize infrastructure spending and dedicate additional funds to maintain and improve roads and bridges.

Environment

Hoosiers are in favor of measures that will reduce their carbon footprint and fight climate change. They want their state to embrace renewable energy sources, invest in research and development, and increase investment in green technologies.

Gun Safety
