Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate supports ending abortion in Indiana and advocates for policies to cease all abortions in the state. The candidate frames this position in religious and pro-life terms and supports state-level measures further restricting abortion beyond existing law.
Climate & Energy
The candidate expresses skepticism about solar and wind as reliable alternative energy options, emphasizes support for farmers and reducing federal regulatory burdens on agriculture, and favors localized green projects like hydroponics and urban gardens rather than large-scale renewables or aggressive statewide climate regulation.
News
Jamie Reitenour is in the news in connection with a legal fight over Indiana’s ban on using college IDs to vote. State attorneys are urging a federal judge to keep the law in place, while challengers argue it unfairly burdens young voters. A decision on a preliminary injunction is expected before the May 2026 primary, with a full trial scheduled for January 2027.
