Issue Position: FAIRNESS AND TRANSPARENCY

Issue Position

Cindy Holscher understands that government works best when lawmakers and state employees operate in the open and promote fairness.

Advocated for bill that compensates those wrongly convicted and imprisoned. Bill became law.
Cindy continues to work on behalf of exonerees who have been told by state officials to seek compensation through expensive and unnecessary legal battles, rather than the procedures laid out in the new law.
Co-sponsored a bill to prohibit the "gut-and-go" maneuver in the Legislature, wherein legislative leaders replace the content of a bill passed in one chamber with unrelated language and then pass it in the other chamber with little further discussion.
Supported legislation to require that the names of lawmakers be included on bills they introduce, which was blocked by both House and Senate leadership. This would help prevent the practice of blindly introducing lobbyist-drafted legislation from radical interest groups.
