Each summary is supported by the candidate's own words from a campaign source, direct candidate response, or official primary record retained with the profile.

Government ethics, accountability, and elections

Candidate position

The Comptroller's office runs the state's transparency portal, where anyone can look up vendor payments, contracts, and public salaries. Jessica will turn it into a tool Hoosiers actually use — easier to search, in plain language, and kept current — so you can see how our tax money is being spent.

Candidate position
Goal / Priority

Counties, towns, schools, and townships rely on state funding for roads, water, public safety, education, and basic services. Jessica will fight to make sure those dollars are tracked clearly, handled responsibly, and paid on time, while pushing for more accountability when public money touches issues like water quality, plastic waste, and microplastic pollution.
