Immigration & Border
Advocates a level-headed, holistic approach to immigration that coordinates with the federal government and rejects fear-mongering or politicized border stunts; emphasizes using state resources to address human trafficking and support local prosecutors.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports access to reproductive health care and intends to defend and expand reproductive access in Indiana while protecting medical privacy; opposes the state’s near‑total abortion restrictions and would roll back recent limits to earlier, less restrictive law. Plans to stop the attorney general’s office from seeking terminated pregnancy reports and to avoid using the office to chill medical care or investigate providers.
Climate & Energy
Supports clean energy and grid upgrades to lower bills and create jobs, stronger enforcement against polluters and modernization of environmental standards, and opposes subsidies that do not create real jobs. Endorsed by the Sierra Club Hoosier Chapter, indicating alignment with mainstream environmental advocacy.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate supports responsible gun laws focused on safety measures such as safe-storage requirements and steps to keep firearms out of dangerous hands, while emphasizing support for first responders. No explicit endorsement of broad bans (e.g., assault-weapons bans) or opposition to gun regulations was found in the cited material.
