Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a father of two wonderful children, and I want to make Indiana a place where they can grow and thrive. I think that the current legislature has set us on a very bad path that will not allow that to happen, and I felt that I had to step up and try to make a difference.

I was born and raised in Indiana - as a child I lived on a small farm outside of Pendleton, then when I was 7 my parents moved to Indianapolis, where I graduated high school. I came home to Indy after college, and after a brief period there, I moved to Versailles for a year, and then settled in Greensburg in 2018.

I have seen life in Indiana from rural small towns and the biggest city in the state. I've watched for the last twenty years as the republican majority has slowly made this state harder to call home, no matter whether that home is a small farming community or a big city.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Our biggest hurdle is going to be the abandoned infrastructure. We have roads that have been patched too many times when they need repaved. We have rainwater systems that can't handle the bigger storms that climate change has caused. We have bridges that are crumbling. We have almost no public transit in the state.

We also need to reclaim the public utility infrastructure that has been sold off to private interests - one company posted a $1.5 billion profit for the first 90 days of 2026, largely off of power transmission lines and production that were built with public dollars.

Republicans love to parade around how much they cut taxes, but then never stick around to explain what they will stop paying for without that income.Indiana republicans claim that Indiana is a business-friendly state. But they forget that a business needs workers to function. Indiana is not a worker-friendly state.

Wages are stagnant, protections are minimal, and the so-called right to work law has made it harder for workers to join in solidarity and demand better conditions, higher pay, and proper dignity.

I will work to repeal right to work and strengthen our unions so that they can properly organize.

I will work to raise the minimum wage for the first time since before I started college.

Hoosier workers deserve better.Our education system has been systematically gutted, and our children are suffering. Teachers need better pay, school districts need their funding reinstated after SB1 slashed budgets, and students deserve a curriculum that teaches the material and not simply test readiness.

The school choice scam is siphoning almost half a billion dollars away from public schools across the state - dollars that go to schools that do not have a requirement to accept all students; dollars that go to students who were already enrolled in the private school, but now their parents get a $7,000 handout.

Fully funded student lunch programs see almost a $2 to $1 return in economic activity, and feeding children is never the wrong thing to do.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

It's hard to narrow down areas of public policy - I am most passionate about how everything connects.

When you enact a right to repair law, you lower the barrier to getting a job as a repair technician, and you also lower the cost of repairs, which leads to less waste when someone repairs an item instead of replacing it.

When you legalize cannabis, you empower farmers to grow a cash crop with massive returns, and you also plant seeds that pull massive amounts of carbon dioxide out of the air, and also create industrial hemp by-products.

Our society and economy are both massive webs that can either hold us all down or support us all, depending on how the strands are formed. I want to be part of the rising tide that lifts all ships.
