95% of Indiana families choose public schools in an extensive K-12 choice environment. Expanding vouchers makes no sense for 95% of our families. IN’s future depends on prioritizing public schools, celebrating great educators & holding meaningful discussions w/ practitioners. – at Indiana, USA

Let's keep up pressure to pass a voting rights law that makes it easy to vote, ends partisan gerrymandering, and stops the flood of dark money into elections. That, right there, would go a long way toward helping us keep our democracy.

#Indiana has long been written off as a GOP stronghold, a state where Democrats shouldn’t run because they will lose. Times are changing, #Hoosiers are feeling ignored by Washington elites like Todd Young.  Let's pull of the #McDermottMircale by showing up at the polls. #Vote

When you hear GOP legislators claim historical levels of K-12 funding, know that you (taxpayers) are now funding a historical number of schools (public,charter and private). Public schools are woefully underfunded. This has consequences. – at Indiana, USA

1) Teachers aren’t hiding porn in classroom libraries or school libraries. 2) Schools don’t have litter boxes for kids. 3) K-12 teachers don’t teach CRT. Enough.

Yes. Inflation across the globe is high. Yes. Gas is high. Yes. We’re all frustrated and concerned. Yes. The IN Republicans really did just raise our already extremely high state gas tax again this week. Yes. You can do something about it. Yes. VOTE for @INDems. – at Indiana, USA
