Our Values

Rooted in Vigo County’s working‑class tradition, we fight for practical solutions that make life better for families today and build opportunity for tomorrow.

Good Jobs & Local Growth

A strong economy starts with good-paying jobs and thriving local businesses. We support policies that help raise wages, attract new employers, and create opportunities for workers and families across Vigo County. By investing in small businesses, supporting entrepreneurship, and encouraging responsible economic development, we can build a stronger local economy that benefits residents, strengthens communities, and creates long-term prosperity for everyone.

STRONG
INFRASTRUCTURE

A strong community depends on reliable infrastructure. We support investing in roads, bridges, broadband internet, water systems, and public facilities that improve quality of life and support economic growth. By maintaining and modernizing essential infrastructure, Vigo County can attract new businesses, create jobs, improve public safety, and ensure residents have the services they need today and for future generations.

Lower Utility Bills & Cost of Living

Families and businesses deserve reliable utilities at a fair price. We support eliminating the sales tax on utilities, stopping excessive rate increases, and promoting affordable energy solutions that reduce monthly bills. We also believe large data centers and major industrial users should pay their fair share of utility and water costs so local residents are not left footing the bill. By putting consumers first, we can help make everyday living more affordable for Hoosier families.

AFFORDABLE
HOUSING

Everyone deserves access to a safe, affordable place to call home. We support increasing the supply of affordable housing through new construction, helping rehabilitate vacant and abandoned properties, and encouraging responsible development that strengthens neighborhoods. We also believe landlords should be held accountable for maintaining safe living conditions and that housing should serve families and communities—not large corporate investors. By expanding housing opportunities and revitalizing existing properties, we can help keep Vigo County affordable for working families, seniors, and young professionals.
