Republican Party Eric Holcomb

Holcomb’s campaign website stated the following:

“
  • Leading Through the Pandemic
As Hoosiers, we’ve come together through this pandemic like never before – helping our neighbors and our communities. Governor Holcomb has taken a steady, data-driven approach as he continues to lead Indiana through these challenging times – and every step of the way, his priority remains the health of Hoosiers, while working to safely restart Indiana’s economic engines.
Through his leadership, more than 200 COVID-19 testing sites have launched statewide, millions of pieces of PPE have been procured, and healthcare capacity remains strong. And through Governor Holcomb’s Back on Track plan, we’re following a phased, systematic, data-driven plan for reopening Indiana.
  • Lowering Indiana's Infant Mortality Rate
Early in his time as our state’s leader, Governor Holcomb set a big priority – making Indiana home to the lowest infant mortality rate in the Midwest by 2024. That’s because he believes in looking out for the most vulnerable Hoosiers among us.
He took action, signing into law Indiana’s perinatal navigator program that connects pregnant women in Indiana’s highest-risk ZIP codes with wraparound health services –making sure all Hoosier kids have a right to life, no matter where they’re born.
And while we still have a lot of work to do, we’re making progress. In 2019, Indiana saw its largest drop in infant mortality in six years.
  • Indiana: The Fiscal Envy of the Nation
Balancing budgets. Paying bills. Living within our means. That’s the motto of working Hoosier families, and it’s Governor Holcomb’s charge in leading our state. Under his leadership, Indiana is maintaining its AAA credit rating (the best in the nation!), and our healthy rainy day fund is keeping Indiana in the black during this pandemic while we maintain essential services.
And, of course, that’s while taxes in Indiana continue to drop! Indiana’s personal income tax rate dropped to 3.23% in 2017, which is among the lowest in the nation. That’s while taxes for businesses continue to go down, and Indiana enjoys the benefits of permanently capped property taxes and no inventory tax. It’s an environment built for growth and opportunity!
  • Attracting Record Job Commitments
Indiana has built the Midwest’s best climate for business. And when it comes to attracting great new jobs, Indiana is continuing to break records. Since 2017, companies have committed to create more than 100,000 new Hoosiers jobs across Indiana in high-growth industries like advanced manufacturing, agribusiness, logistics, life sciences, defense, technology, and more.
In 2019, the average wage for those job commitments was $28.60/hour!
Whether it’s new jobs created at homegrown small businesses or international companies choosing Indiana for their next big investment, Indiana is on the map!
  • Supporting Indiana Schools
For Governor Holcomb, making sure that every Hoosier student has a safe place to learn and grow is a top priority – whether that’s safety from COVID-19, or other threats.
That’s why since 2017, Indiana has made over $1.6 billion in NEW investments in Indiana education – and next year, that commitment will continue with a scheduled increase of $183 million in 2021.
Schools across the state have been provided with reopening guidance – as well as necessary tools today like masks, hand sanitizer, and grants to support remote learning.
But it’s not just invisible threats. Other new resources include a program that’s now placed more than 3,200 handheld metal detectors in Indiana public, charter, and private schools at no cost to them. They’ve gone to more than 370 schools – including 94% of all traditional Indiana public schools – to help them track what’s coming into school buildings.
In addition, schools have expanded access to school safety grants and access to a $35 million low-interest loan program for making school updates. And Indiana isn’t stopping until all schools have the tools they need – it simply cannot wait.
  • Making Record Road Investments
Indiana is home to one of the nation’s only fully-funded infrastructure plans of its kind – Next Level Roads. Without borrowing money from future generations of Hoosiers, Indiana is investing $32 billion into our state’s roads and bridges over the next 20 years. In the first five years alone, Hoosiers can expect to see 122 new lane miles, 1,300 bridges, and 10,000 miles of re-paved roads. That’s rolling in the right direction!
  • Expanding Rural Broadband
Now more than ever, it’s critical that ALL Hoosiers have access to reliable, high-speed internet service – whether that’s for health care, education, commerce or more. That’s why Governor Holcomb is leading Indiana’s largest single state investment in broadband in our state’s history – Next Level Connections – with multiple grant rounds totaling $100 million!
Millions of dollars in grants have already been awarded for projects spanning 18 counties – and more to come soon to bring broadband access to rural Indiana.
  • Skilling Up Hoosiers
Across Indiana, companies are looking to hire hardworking Hoosiers to fill great jobs – jobs in high-demand industries like manufacturing, life sciences, technology, and logistics.
Through Governor Holcomb’s Next Level Jobs plan, more than 10,000 Hoosiers have built the skills needed to fill these in-demand, high-wage jobs – helping them earn larger paychecks and open new doors of opportunity.
Next Level Jobs provides Hoosiers with free classes and access to certificate programs through partners like Ivy Tech Community College and Vincennes University. There, Hoosiers are gaining the in-demand skills needed to begin their next big job!
And as we continue to get Back on Track this year, Next Level Jobs is expanded its eligibility, offerings and funding caps – providing Hoosiers with even greater opportunity to build a brighter future.
Next Level Jobs also helps Hoosiers already on-the-job by providing employers with grants to skill-up their workforce! To learn more about Next Level Jobs, visithttps://www.nextleveljobs.org/.
  • Helping Hoosiers with Recovery
When it comes to attacking the state’s opioid epidemic, Governor Holcomb has made an all-hands-on-deck call. We’ve made progress, with a 13% decline in overdose deaths – but Hoosiers across the state are still struggling with addiction.
Together, we’re working to help Hoosiers achieve and maintain recovery – bettering our communities, economy, public safety, and quality of life for all Hoosiers. And we’re making progress with a focus on prevention, treatment, and enforcement, which includes:
• Providing communities with training and funding for naloxone, which is saving lives by reversing overdoses.
• Expanding drug take-back programs – reducing the number of drugs available for misuse.
• Increasing the number of opioid treatment sites statewide – placing nearly all Hoosiers within one-hour’s drive of help.
• Strengthening felony charges for individuals whose dealing of illicit drugs leads to the death of a fellow Hoosier.
  • Connecting Indiana to the World
Connecting Hoosiers with the world around us doesn’t stop with roads and bridges. That’s why Governor Holcomb announced plans to invest $1 billion into Indiana infrastructure! This includes:
  • $600 million to accelerate the completion of I-69 to 2024
  • $190 million for improvements along U.S. 20 and U.S. 30 in Northern Indiana
  • New interchanges to speed up the trip between South Bend and Indianapolis on U.S. 31
  • $100 million to bring high-speed, affordable broadband to rural Indiana
  • $90 million to expand connectivity of Indiana’s hiking, biking, and riding trails
  • $20 million to attract additional international non-stop flights to Indiana
And that’s in addition to Indiana’s fully-funded roads and bridges program over the next 20 years, Next Level Roads. Indiana sped up road construction earlier this year statewide – and we’re not slowing down now.
  • Completing I-69
For more than a decade, Indiana has been building I-69 – one continuous road connecting Evansville to Indianapolis and the rest of the state. I-69 is now complete between Evansville and Martinsville.
And construction of the final section is now underway, which is upgrading State Road 37 to interstate standard all the way to I-465. Through Next Level Connections, Indiana will invest $600 million to accelerate the completion of I-69 by three years…connecting Evansville and Indianapolis by 2024.[4]

Democratic Party Woody Myers

Myers' campaign website stated the following:

“
  • Health Care
Increasing health care costs are a drag on Indiana’s economy and put a strain on household budgets. While costs are rising nationally, Indiana residents are spending a greater share of their paychecks on health care than residents in other states. More Hoosiers are uninsured even though more are employed, and more Hoosiers are going without their medications because they can’t afford them. This is wrong.
It’s time we fix these problems in Indiana.
We can address our high rate of chronic disease through less costly measures focused on prevention. We can reduce maternal and infant mortality through better education and access to health care. And we can keep the public safe and healthy during a public health crisis, with better management and planning.
Indiana needs a governor who understands the health care industry the way I do and who will be an advocate for all Hoosiers. As governor, I’ll put the health care needs of Hoosiers first and make fixing our broken health care system the priority that it should be.
Now is the time to put a doctor in the Governor’s Office.
Hear Woody speak more on this issue:https://youtu.be/2MlAt0oFsrg
  • Education
Education is the best investment we can make to develop a workforce that’s prepared to fill good-paying jobs now and in the future. Governor Holcomb and Republican lawmakers have underfunded public education for years and use bogus statistics to claim otherwise. Indiana spends less per student than almost every other state. This is not only bad for our children, but is also bad for our economic future.
Our students and teachers deserve better.
We can empower our public schools by giving them the resources and funding needed to provide a high-quality education to all students. We can take a hard look at our voucher program; while school choice has a place in our education system, the current program is not serving us well. It has created more demand for limited resources, reducing the funding available for classroom instruction and teacher salaries in public schools. We should make transparency and accountability of taxpayer spending in education a priority to restore public confidence and improve academic results.
We owe our students a high-quality education. As governor, I’ll restore public confidence in our education system by providing the funding necessary for our students to succeed and our teachers to thrive.
  • Climate
We must reduce the effects of climate change on our residents and businesses. As a manufacturing-rich state, we use a lot of energy – most of it supplied by fossil fuels. Our state has a reputation as a big polluter and that needs to change. We cannot continue to destroy our environment or prop up dying industries because we’re afraid of change. We can protect our environment by transitioning our workforce away from fossil fuels to good-paying jobs in renewable and sustainable energy sources.
Indiana must become more energy efficient and shift to more renewable energy to meet our electricity needs and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. As governor, I’ll update Indiana’s renewable energy standards and set a new clean energy goal to renew our commitment to a cleaner future. I’ll inventory our greenhouse gas emissions and develop realistic reduction targets just as 22 other states have done.
Through investments to incentivize innovation in the clean energy industry, we can create economic opportunity and more good-paying jobs, as we tackle the climate crisis and safeguard our environment for future generations.
More about climate:https://youtu.be/rRXK89tv64A
  • Economic Development
A strong economy should benefit all Hoosiers, not just those at the top. While Indiana’s economy is growing and more people are working, not everyone is prospering. Some Hoosiers must work two or three jobs to make ends meet when one job should be enough. In certain parts of the state, workers are trapped in low-paying jobs because there aren’t enough high-paying jobs available in their communities. In other parts, we have job openings that go vacant, because there aren’t enough skilled workers to fill them.
Indiana used to lead the Midwest in economic performance, and now we rank in the bottom half of states for economic stability and potential.
We can do better.
As governor, I’ll immediately work to diversify our economy so we’re less susceptible to economic downturns and labor force disruptions. I’ll implement policies to improve our business environment, with a focus on recruiting businesses that bring more good-paying jobs to all parts of the state and supporting existing businesses with retention policies that help them remain competitive. I’ll be the governor who breaks down social, cultural and financial barriers that hold people back from success to give everyone a chance to prosper. It’s time we had an economy that works for all of us.
  • Workforce
The strength of our economy rests on the quality of our workforce. Indiana currently ranks among the 10 worst states in educational attainment and lacks the appropriate policies to support learners who haven’t fared well in college.
Our diverse population demands multiple pathways to obtain good-paying jobs whether through a college degree, a certificate, apprenticeship, or vocational training. Already too many have fallen short of their educational and vocational goals, contributing to Indiana’s talent shortage. We aren’t prepared to withstand the pressures of automation and its squeeze on jobs that’s predicted for the future, with too many workers in dead end jobs vulnerable to loss.
We can immediately expand and refocus our workforce development system on training workers for jobs of the future, not just on jobs for today. As governor, I’ll devise a new approach to education and workforce training that will equip workers with the right skills to adapt to changing workplace conditions, while also encouraging upward mobility. I’ll also shore up the cracks in our workforce development and higher education systems, enabling Indiana to upgrade and enhance the skills of its workforce to be competitive again.[4]

Libertarian Party Donald Rainwater

Rainwater’s campaign website stated the following:

“
  • Taxation - Taxpayer Protection Pledge
As your Governor, I pledge to oppose and veto any and all efforts to increase taxes in Indiana.
This is consistent with the Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) Taxpayer Protection Pledge. You can learn more about Americans for Tax Reform at www.atr.org.
  • Taxation - Personal Income Tax
As your Governor, I will work with members of the General Assembly to abolish the personal income tax in Indiana.
Nine states do not tax personal income: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming.
  • Taxation - Residential Property Tax
As your Governor, I will work with members of the General Assembly to abolish the residential property tax on primary residences in Indiana.
This will eliminate the possibility of asset forfeiture, due to unpaid property taxes. It will also eliminate the annual increases in Hoosiers' mortgage payments, due to annual increases in assessed value for property tax assessment.
  • Taxation - Vehicle Excise and Registration
As your Governor, I will work with members of the General Assembly to reform vehicle registration to be required only when transfer of ownership occurs. You will register the vehicle one time, when you purchase the vehicle or otherwise transfer title.
This will eliminate the annual ritual of renewing your vehicle registration and paying the registration fees and excise taxes.
  • Taxation - Roll Back Gasoline Excise Tax
As your Governor, I will work with members of the General Assembly to roll back the 2017 legislation which now puts our gasoline excise tax at 30 cents per gallon. I believe that the indexing of the gasoline excise tax for inflation is contrary to the spirit of "no taxation without representation" and needs to be repealed as part of this roll back.
  • Individual Rights - Property Ownership
As your Governor, I will make the abolition of asset forfeiture in Indiana a priority. This will include criminal justice reform and property tax reform.
The government should not be able to take your property involuntarily, for any reason.
  • Individual Rights - Decriminalization and Legalization of Cannabis (Marijuana)
As your Governor, I will work with members of the Indiana General Assembly to decriminalize both medical and recreational cannabis.
Military veterans and others who suffer from psychological, emotional, and physical pain should not be denied a proven, viable alternative to highly-addictive narcotics. Medicinal cannabis has been proven to effectively aid cancer patients in managing the many side effects of chemotherapy and other treatments.
Anyone who has been convicted of a marijuana-related, non-violent drug offense should have their sentence commuted immediately and their conviction should be expunged.
If beer, wine, and liquor are legal for adult recreational consumption, so should all forms of cannabis.
  • Individual Rights - Constitutional Carry
As your Governor, I will work with members of the General Assembly to pass Constitutional Carry legislation in Indiana.
The right to bear arms shall not be infringed.
www.the2aproject.com
  • Individual Rights - Medical Freedoms
As your Governor, I will work with members of the General Assembly to ensure that Hoosier's medical freedoms are safeguarded and that individuals can make their own choices regarding medical treatments and health coverage. Hoosiers should not be forced by government mandate to purchase health insurance. Hoosiers should not be forced by government mandate to get a vaccine. Hoosiers should not be forced by government mandate to wear a mask.
I will also work to strengthen Hoosier's legal protections associated with living wills and medical power of attorney.
Hoosiers must be allowed to make their own health care decisions and the health care decisions for their minor children.
  • Individual Rights - Adulthood
As your Governor, I will work with members of the General Assembly to enact legislation that establishes the age of adulthood in Indiana at 18 years old.
As part of this legislation, we will establish a standard that resets the statutory age for purchase or consumption of alcohol and nicotine, as well as any other current or future minimum age requirement intended to imply an adult decision.
If a person is old enough to make the decision to serve in the United States military, then they are old enough to make all of the decisions pertaining to their health and wellness.
  • Individual Rights - Occupational Licensing
As your Governor, I will work with members of the General Assembly to bring about significant reform in the area of professional and occupational licensing.
Hoosiers cannot pursue their own occupational Happiness when government regulations for occupational licensing create artificial barriers to entry into a career field by requiring expensive educational requirements and licensing fees.
While I agree that doctors and lawyers are occupations which may lend themselves to very stringent licensing requirements, I also strongly believe that hairdressers, plumbers, electricians, auctioneers, real estate agents, and many others could and should be "licensed" or "certified" by their respective professional associations. I also believe that many of these occupations would be candidates for on-the-job training programs or high school programs.
  • Individual Rights - Abortion
Recognizing that abortion is a sensitive issue and that people can hold good-faith views on all sides, I personally identify as a Pro-life Libertarian. I have come to believe that abortion violates the Non-Aggression Principle (NAP), which is one of the cornerstones of Libertarianism.
I believe that abortion does not violate the Non-Aggression Principle in emergency situations where the mother's life is in jeopardy or when the mother has been sexually assaulted.
I do not believe that government should use tax dollars to fund any private organization.
  • Education Reform - Maximize School Choice
As Governor of the State of Indiana, I will work with members of the Indiana General Assembly to maximize parent's ability to choose the school option which is best for their child. I will work to ensure that Hoosier parents have school choice options, such as public school, private school, online school, charter school, and homeschool.
I will work to ensure that education funding is available for every child whose parents want it, regardless of their school choice, no strings attached. If parents wish to opt out of school funding, they will be able to do so, again, no strings attached.
  • Education Reform - ILEARN
As Governor of Indiana, I will support the decoupling of ILEARN scores from teacher performance evaluations. I wouldn't stop there. I would ask the General Assembly to pass legislation to abolish statewide standardized testing. I would seek legal council to determine if the state can cancel the current 3 year, $45 million contract.
Both ISTEP and ILEARN have been a boondoggle that has detracted from our children's educational experience at the cost of the Hoosier taxpayer.
  • Education Reform - Vocational Education
As your Governor, I will work with members of the General Assembly and the State Department of Education to simplify our state's high school graduation requirements in order to encourage the redevelopment of high school vocational education programs.
In Indiana, we do not need to enhance post-secondary vocational education opportunities in Indiana. We need to reestablish vocational educational opportunities in our K-12 public schools.
Too many of our Hoosier young people leave high school without any exposure to the hundreds of career-oriented vocational opportunities which are available and may be more desirable to them.
Let's provide vocational and technical educational opportunities to our young people while they are in high school BEFORE they lose hope and turn to criminal activity, not after they become incarcerated.
  • Education Reform - Localize Education Control
As your Governor, I will work with members of the General Assembly to reduce the size and scope of the State Department of Education.
We will work together with the State Department of Education to return the decision-making power to our local School Boards and School District administrators.
By reducing the size and scope of the State Department of Education, we will free up funding which can be redirected to our classrooms, instead of being spent on multiple levels of oversight. This will create a better situation for both our teachers and our students in Indiana's public schools.
  • Ballot Initiatives, Referendums, and Recalls
As your Governor, I will work with members of the General Assembly to enact legislation establishing ballot initiatives, referendums, and recalls in the State of Indiana. These three processes will go a long way toward reaffirming government in Indiana Of The People, By The People, and For The People.
For more information about ballot initiatives, referendums, and recalls, visit the National Conference of State Legislatures at www.ncsl.org.
  • The 10th Amendment
As your Governor, I will do everything within the purview of my office to ensure that the State of Indiana upholds the 10th Amendment to the US Constitution.
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."[4]
