Issues
Building One Indiana for All.
Before the pandemic, Indiana was on a roll. Over the last decade, Hoosiers have come together to do big things and to put our state on the right track. And we’re getting that momentum rolling again.
Indiana’s momentum slowed, but we’re revving up again – working to usher in a new era of record job commitments, record infrastructure investments, and new career training opportunities, all while tackling our biggest issues head-on.
And the world is noticing. Indiana has gone from laggard to leader…from a middle-of-the-pack performer to a globally-recognized center for great jobs and responsible government. We’re at work daily, teaming up to spark unparalleled growth and opportunities for Hoosiers.
It’s about delivering great government service and measurable results.
But there’s still so much for us to do. We’re building One Indiana for All – and opportunity for all.
“Where every citizen – no matter their background, or age or who they love or whether they grew up here or arrived last week – has equal access and opportunity to go as far as they wish and are willing to work to get there. That’s what I’ll continue to fight for. That’s what Next Level means to me.”
