On Abortion: Supports legislation that restricts access to abortion

A Christian and father, Curtis and his wife Teresa are deeply pro-life and know that life begins at conception. In 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade and made abortion a state issue. As governor, Curtis will defend the sanctity of life and support legislation that restricts access to abortion. Abortion is both a legal and a moral issue, and there is no issue more critical to justice than protecting society's most vulnerable: the unborn.

On Corporations: Cut state corporate income tax from 4.9% to 3.5%

On Education: Money should follow the student rather than the system

As a father of five and husband to a schoolteacher, Curtis understands that Hoosier parents are concerned about the quality of education their children receive. As governor, Curtis will prioritize removing radical gender ideology and critical race theory from classrooms so students are taught how to think, not what to think. Curtis believes that if children are taught to think critically, they will not succumb to radical indoctrination.

Curtis believes money should follow the student rather than the system to create fairness in opportunity. By investing in school vouchers, vocational training at the high school level, new print and technological resources, and incorporating new language and learning requirements, Curtis believes Indiana can usher in a new era of educational freedom, free of federal entanglements, that prepares students for an ever-changing global economy.

On Gun Control: Proud that Indiana is a constitutional-carry state

From that day forward, Curtis' father kept his family safe thanks to the constitutional protections of our right to self-defense and the right to bear arms. Curtis is proud that Indiana is a constitutional-carry state and will stand tall against any attempts to infringe upon our Second Amendment rights.

On Health Care: Joined suit to end support for ObamaCare Medicaid expansion

Indiana's Attorney General Curtis Hill is one of 20 state officials lobbing a new attack at the Affordable Care Act ["ObamaCare"]. If successful, the lawsuit could mean the end of federal support for Indiana's Medicaid expansion, which is funded through the Affordable Care Act. A multi-state lawsuit, filed [this week] in a Texas district court, argues the individual mandate--and thus the entire law--is unconstitutional, thanks to new tax laws.

On Principles & Values: Advocate for Hoosiers, not Washington lobbyists

Hoosiers are tired of the same old career politicians telling you they know better than you.

On Social Security: Eliminate the state income tax on retirement benefits

Like younger workers, seniors are also fleeing Indiana at historic rates. We can combat this by eliminating the state income tax on retirement benefits income for seniors over the age of 65. This will encourage seniors to remain in Indiana and encourage seniors in neighboring, high-taxed states like Illinois to move to the state. I am also proposing a flat sales tax rate of 3% for residents over the age of 65 to assist with their transition into retirement.

On Tax Reform: Cut spending; eliminate income tax on earners aged 18-35

On day one, Curtis' top priority will be providing relief to Indiana taxpayers struggling to put food in their fridges and fuel in their tanks. As governor, Curtis will cut wasteful government spending and slash government regulation to allow individuals and small businesses to prosper.. As governor, Curtis will cut taxes and work with businesses to invest in Indiana through job creation and land development.

Our plan to eliminate the income tax on earners aged 18-35 would encourage young professionals to stay in Indiana while encouraging companies to expand into Indiana. The lost revenue would be made up by an increased tax base of businesses and corporations. Indiana would be the first in the nation to implement such a tax structure, and it would pay off with young professionals moving to and remaining in Indiana to start businesses and families of their own.

Curtis stood up to Big Tech monopolies and will continue to fight and protect Hoosiers' privacy, who are concerned about the lengths social media and tech giants will go to collect, steal and abuse personal and private information.
