On Civil Rights:
Stand up for LGBTQ youth being used as political pawns
Will stand up for the LGBTQ youth who are being used as political pawns by mean-spirited, calculating Republicans who needed a new social wedge issue after Roe v Wade was overturned by the Republican Supreme Court majority.
These vulnerable children deserve our help, not scorn, and their healthcare decisions should be left up to their families and compassionate, qualified doctors, not political opportunists.

On Drugs:
Will push to reclassify marijuana as a Schedule 3 drug
Will push for marijuana to be reclassified at the federal level from a Schedule 1 drug to a Schedule 3. [OnTheIssues explanation: Schedule 1 refers to drugs such as heroin, LSD, and currently marijuana, defined as having "no currently acceptable
medical use and a high potential for abuse." Schedule 3 drugs are still "controlled substances," such as Tylenol with Codeine. The result of reclassification would be to reduce penalties for marijuana possession.]

On Health Care:
Lower drugs costs; push for Medicare for all
Will work to lower drug costs and bring adequate medical care to all parts of Indiana and will push for Medicare for all citizens. [OnTheIssues explanation (from HHS.gov): Current eligibility for Medicare includes all citizens over 65 years old; or
younger citizens who have disabilities or specified serious diseases. The result of "Medicare for all" would be to expand the Medicare program instead of private health insurance or other government programs].

On Government Reform:
Let voters decide term limits by voting them out
Q: What are your thoughts on term limits?A: All terms have limits of 2, 4, or 6 years. Let the voters decide, that's their job. If they are doing a lousy job then term limits aren't going to change anything. If there must be limits make it 18 years
and out, no running for the other chamber.
Q: What do you think of the filibuster?
A: It does more harm than good. It needs to be limited in time and with each use on the same topic the number to invoke cloture should drop by 5.
