We’ve watched the Trump administration cut Medicaid by a trillion dollars while rural hospitals close their maternity wards and emergency rooms. In Indiana, five rural hospitals are at risk of closing entirely. Twelve more have already cut services. Over twenty counties don't have a place to give birth.

Military and Veterans I’m an Army Reserve veteran. My brother was a Marine in the war in Iraq. This is personal.Supporting our military requires more than words of appreciation… it requires sound policy decisions that uphold the integrity of their mission. The military's job is defending America from threats…not policing American streets. As a member of Veterans for Peace, I believe true support for our military means preserving their proper role and working to preserve peace.Our veterans have made immense sacrifices to protect our freedoms. It is our shared responsibility to ensure that they receive the care, respect, and opportunities they have earned. This means ensuring timely access to quality healthcare, mental health services, education, job training, and housing support.And right now, we are failing them.Veterans deserve more than a thank you. They deserve real healthcare, not waiting months to see a VA doctor. They deserve mental health services that are actually available. They deserve job training that leads to a good-paying job. And they deserve a roof over their head. Rural veterans in particular get left behind. Their VA clinic is a two-hour drive away. Mental health services are very scarce. Job training is underfunded. This isn’t charity…these are earned benefits, paid for through sacrifice.We must strengthen the systems that help veterans transition successfully into civilian life. We must recognize their skills as assets in our communities and workforce.By upholding our commitment to veterans, we affirm the values of service, gratitude, and unity that define our country.I will fight for:protecting the mission of the militaryprioritizing VA funding, especially in rural Indianaworking for peace at home and abroad

That’s why I support the AI Data Center Moratorium Act, introduced this past week with Indiana’s own Congressman André Carson as a cosponsor. The AI Data Center Moratorium Act would immediately halt any new large scale data center projects until proper safeguards are put into place to protect ordinary Americans: to ensure AI doesn’t take our jobs, drive up our utility bills, and pollute our air and water all while tech executives run away with massive profits.
