Family Values

Strong Hoosier families are the foundation of a strong Hoosier state. As a mom of seven, past president of the Boys and Girls Club Board, educator and former school board member for various institutions, I know children thrive with a strong family foundation. I believe the state can support families through positive changes to the tax code and voluntary pre-K education options that empower parents to decide what's best for their own children.

I strongly believe in our God-given right to life, from which all other rights are derived. I believe science has undeniably shown us that human life begins at fertilization and is deserving of our protection. I will fight for the right to life for all innocent, human life as I have done with my long-time involvement with Allen County Right to Life. While seeking the protection of unborn life, at the same time we must support efforts to help pregnant women as they pursue motherhood or adoption.

Strong families benefit through strong marriages. I support marriage as a union between one man and one woman. I believe the future of marriage in Indiana should be decided by voters, not unelected judges, activists or big business.
