2024 IN Governor's race: on Budget & Economy

Mike Braun: America First economic agenda brought unmatched prosperity

Mike Braun spent his career in the private sector, growing a small business into a national company and employing thousands of Hoosiers. Indiana needs policies that help every Hoosier achieve prosperity with a good–paying career. The America First economic agenda brought unmatched prosperity and Indiana should be partnering with industries and business that are committed to growing jobs here in the USA.

Eric Doden: Partner with local leaders to revitalize small towns

He also wants to take this strategy to a smaller scale as well by using state funds to help revitalize small towns throughout the state. "There is this real opportunity for us to partner with local leaders who want to restore their community," said Doden. "That's what our 'Indiana Main Street' initiative is all about. It's about taking 10-percent of our budget and saying we will work with these leaders in small towns." Source: WIBC 93.1 FM on 2024 Indiana Gubernatorial race Nov 3, 2023

Eric Doden: State can offer incentives but must be private sector led

Doden said his campaign is one of ideas about how to revitalize communities across Indiana, particularly small towns of 30,000 or fewer residents. He told the gathering that his Main Street Initiative would provide financial incentives of $100 million a year for private businesses to invest in those small communities. "We cannot be the state with four, five or six counties doing well. We need to be the state where all 92 counties are doing well, but it has to be private-sector led," he said.

Curtis Hill: Audit government to make appropriate budget cuts

As governor, Curtis will audit the state government to find unnecessary expenditures so Indiana lawmakers can make appropriate budget cuts.
