Get StartedI'll follow the lead of the Indiana State Legislature on this issue. Currently, only cannabidiol (CBD) is legal in Indiana, so that's all I would support at the federal level. If Indiana legalizes more at the state level, I would reflect that support accordingly at the federal level. Learn more
I'm open to considering ideas that eliminate wasteful spending without a significant negative impact. I'll support those ideas which I believe work and offer my own thoughts on improvement for those which I believe do not. Learn more
We need to repeal most of the Student Loan Reform Act of 1993. Students have been exploited for decades as a result. Learn more
I don't support taxing or regulating carbon dioxide directly, but I do believe we need to reduce our country's dependence on fossil fuel combustion. Doing so will reduce our country's dependence on imported coal and oil, reduce the threat of terrorism and our presence in the Middle East, and reduce carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and oxides of nitrogen.

I support the USMCA. It corrected major flaws in its predecessor, NAFTA. In the 5th District, Madison County and Grant County were hit hard by businesses moving their operations to Mexico as a result of NAFTA. Learn more
I support free trade when it is accompanied by fair trade. Learn more

We also need legislation that would protect seniors from financial hardship by requiring price controls or rebates for drug price increases that exceed the rate of inflation, lowering the annual out-of-pocket caps for Medicare Part D patients and allowing the re-importation of drugs that are found to be available cheaper outside of the United States.

I support repealing Obamacare (if it isn’t ruled unconstitutional in its entirety by the Supreme Court) and replacing it with a free-market based healthcare system where patients have impartial information about quality and affordability. People can then choose how to balance quality and affordability on their own, allowing market forces to prevail as competition increases options and drives down costs. Learn more
I believe that health savings accounts (HSAs) are better than healthcare insurance for paying for expenses. HSAs give patients an incentive to save money. The saved amount remains in the HSA for use in future years. Learn more
We need to provide incentives for more American students to become doctors and nurses instead of granting large numbers of immigrant work visas to address shortages of qualified people in the medical field. Learn more
