As a Christian, I am 100 percent pro-life

On Abortion:
Will be a champion for the unborn; for zero-cost adoption
A husband, father, and faithful Christian, I am 100% pro-life and will be a champion for the unborn as Governor. It's not just a religious issue for me, it's a human rights issue.Being pro-life also means I am also pro-mother, pro-child, and
pro-family. We will protect the vulnerable and make Indiana one of the first states in the nation to have zero-cost adoption. I support the sustainment and creation of crisis pregnancy centers and local Safe Haven Baby Boxes.

On Crime:
Prevent rogue prosecutors from unilaterally defying our laws
I do not support stripping qualified immunity protections that make it easier to unfairly sue law enforcement officers for doing their jobs.Indianapolis currently ranks as the 12th most violent city in America. Under my Administration, we'll remove
Indianapolis from that list by removing violent criminals from the streets and empowering our law enforcement officers by establishing a bipartisan prosecutor review board to prevent rogue prosecutors from unilaterally defying our laws.

On Education:
I support ensuring transparency in school curriculums
Parents have the ultimate say when it comes to the well being of their children. We have to protect our families and parental rights. The best form of government is self-government, and then it's the family unit.
Teachers should teach. Parents should parent. Parents have a right to know what is being taught in the classroom, and I support all measures to ensure transparency in school curriculums.

On Health Care:
Ensure hospitals provide full transparency in pricing
The state of Indiana spends billions of dollars each year on health care while providing special tax breaks to health care institutions. As Governor, we will implement a plan to ensure hospitals provide full transparency in pricing and their use of
taxpayer funding. We will also incentivize non-profit hospitals to invest a portion of their billions in profits -- which are currently on Wall Street -- back into the Main Streets of the communities they serve.

On Principles & Values:
My values traced to faith, family, small town roots
Every one of us is shaped by our upbringing and our experiences. My conservative values can be traced back to my faith, family, and small town roots. Then, through my days attending
Hillsdale College, raising my own family, operating and starting businesses, and entering public service at the state and local level. Many Hoosiers share these common sense values.

On Tax Reform:
Make school teachers exempt from state income tax
As a state we must have the goal of retaining great teachers and attracting the newest, best, and brightest. Despite spending billions on schools each year, extreme education ideologies and the rising cost of living for young teachers continue to force
teachers from the classroom. We have proposed a Teacher Investment program that will make school teachers exempt from state income tax while also providing them property tax relief. We will do this without new spending or new taxes.
