Today, the State Budget Agency and Administration officials presented Indiana’s Fiscal Year 2025 closeout. While the numbers mathematically show a modest surplus for 2025-2027, the numbers don’t tell the real story.![]()
![]()
That surplus came at the expense of:![]()
🏥Thousands of seniors who are still waiting on a Medicaid waiver waitlist to receive services, children with complex health conditions and ABA patients receiving less services and less funding![]()
![]()
📚20,000 children deprived of high-quality child care, and thousands denied the opportunity to attend On My Way to Pre-K due to reduced eligibility thresholds ![]()
![]()
🤝 55% of Hoosier families making less than $55K annually while working 2-3 jobs and struggling to make ends meet (covering rising housing, childcare, food, and healthcare costs)![]()
![]()
This budget is numerically balanced, but morally inhumane. It favors wealthy corporations and individuals over the poor and marginalized. Budgets are moral documents that must be responsive to the urgent needs of fellow citizens. While I do support balanced budgets and a modest surplus, however, policymakers must ask themselves: Is a status quo fiscal performance worth celebrating while Hoosiers suffer? ![]()
![]()
The 2026-2027 budgets exceed $40B in spending, so the question is not whether Indiana can afford to lift up the most vulnerable; rather, the question is about the order of priorities in the state budget. ![]()
![]()
In addition, the “Billionaires Bailout Bill - BBB” will impact state programs negatively while clearly prioritizing the ultra-wealthy. ![]()
![]()
I’m calling on the Governor and state fiscal leaders to provide a report within 30 days detailing the negative harms of the BBB on the daily lives of Hoosiers, especially the most vulnerable. ![]()
![]()
This is not a Democrat vs. Republican issue. State and federal fiscal policies will impact Hoosiers, and I will work tirelessly in a bipartisan fashion to advocate for the most vulnerable in every corner and zip code in Indiana. #INForAll
Another great day canvassing SD30 continuing my door-to-door conversations in Devonshire/Lawrence Township. I heard concerns about the high costs of healthcare and the impact of state and federal funding cuts to critical Medicaid home and community based services to senior citizens, children with complicated healthcare conditions, and ABA therapy. In addition, I heard concerns about the underfunding of public education, public safety issues impacting fighter fighters and first responders, and the general direction of our state and country. ![]()

My message: we are a resilient community, and we shall overcome these challenges with hope, unity, and active civic engagement.
Join me this July for another in-person constituent meeting across District 30! This is a great opportunity to share your policy ideas and ask questions about legislation.![]()

If your neighborhood has a planned meeting and you would like me to attend, please email me at [email protected]. ![]()

I’m also continuing my door-to-door conversations throughout this summer —I look forward to connecting with as many neighbors as possible!![]()
![]()
I’m honored to be your public servant and look forward to working together to inspire hope and unity! #INForAll
On this Fourth of July, we remember where we came from and what we stand for.![]()
![]()
In 1776, a bold declaration set forth a vision of freedom, equality and a government by the people. That vision has been carried forward generation after generation, not just by leaders, but by everyday Americans coming together to build a stronger, more just country.![]()
![]()
Today, as we gather with our families, neighbors and communities, let’s recommit to those shared values. The strength of our nation has always come from our unity, even in times of challenge.![]()
![]()
Wishing everyone a safe, joyful and reflective Independence Day. #INForAll
🚨 The Big Betrayal Bill Passed 🚨![]()
![]()
Congress just passed what’s being called the Big Beautiful Bill, but for millions of Americans and Hoosiers, it’s more like the Big Betrayal Bill.![]()
![]()
This legislation would:![]()
➡️ Slash $930 billion from Medicaid, Medicare and the ACA over the next decade![]()
➡️ Strip health insurance from up to 12 million people over the next 10 years![]()
➡️ Impose stricter work requirements, causing nearly 5 million people to lose coverage over the next 10 years![]()
➡️ Force families to prove Medicaid eligibility twice a year, increasing red tape![]()
➡️ Cut retroactive Medicaid coverage, leaving people vulnerable during critical health events![]()
➡️ Jeopardize rural hospitals, including a dozen here in Indiana, by slashing the provider tax that funds them![]()
➡️ Put essential programs like long-term care and complex child services at risk![]()
![]()
Congress has spent over $8 trillion on wars since 2001. Congress is reckless in leading the nation into further debt. ![]()
![]()
The BBB doesn’t prioritize America first; it prioritizes the ultra-wealthy, funding wars, and tax cuts to the top 1% over our children, the medically vulnerable, senior citizens, and working families. ![]()
![]()
This is a historic gutting of Medicaid, plain and simple. We know what happens next: people will be kicked off the rolls or lose vital care and experience increasing visits to the ER.![]()
![]()
Indiana families can’t afford this betrayal. Hoosiers deserve better. I will continue to fight tirelessly for the marginalized, voiceless, vulnerable, and underrepresented. #INForAll
