PRESS ROOM < Press Room Jennifer McCormick releases McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Cannabis Legalization Plan September 11, 2024 Contact: Kelly Wittman, (317) 450-5711 McCormick for Governor press@mccormickforgov.com NEW CASTLE, Ind.— Today, Indiana gubernatorial nominee Jennifer McCormick unveiled her Commonsense Cannabis Legalization Plan, which would legalize adult use of cannabis in Indiana in a responsible and well regulated industry. This plan begins with the establishment of a medical marijuana industry, setting the foundation for a transition to full adult-use cannabis. “Hoosiers have made it clear—they support adult-use cannabis and are frustrated by Indiana’s outdated prohibition laws,” said McCormick. “Our plan takes a commonsense approach by first introducing a well-regulated medical marijuana industry, allowing us to address potential regulatory challenges and ensure a smooth transition to well-regulated and legal adult-use cannabis.” The McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Cannabis Plan includes the following key components: Establishing the Indiana Cannabis Commission: The plan will create the Indiana Cannabis Commission, which will be responsible for overseeing the legal cannabis industry, including regulation, licensing, and ensuring compliance with safety standards.

All Hoosiers deserve reliable and affordable utilities that provide beneficial services to our communities and environment. Sustainable Energy < Issues All Hoosiers deserve reliable and affordable utilities that provide beneficial services to our communities and environment. See Jennifer McCormick’s Commonsense Utility Affordability Plan > We will call for a pause in extreme utility rate increases by appointing an Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) who will audit any excessive rate increases. We will seek input from locally-elected officials on the recommendations brought forth to the IURC. We will work to decrease Hoosiers’ energy expenses by vetoing bills that eliminate competition for utility and appoint IURC members who work for everyday Hoosiers rather than for the investor-owned utilities. We will hold utility companies accountable for transparent and honest data used for their increased rate recommendations. We will support the further transition and expansion of renewable and clean energy for Hoosier citizens and businesses by investing in locally-driven energy practices.

All Hoosiers deserve access to a fully funded, world-class education system. World-Class Local Schools < Issues Knowledge and learning are essential to the preservation of a free government, per the Indiana Constitution. As a lifelong educator, I recognize the importance of a high quality education for students, parents, communities, and our state as well as the broader society. We must collectively invest in our kids, educators, and communities to ensure Hoosiers are set up for success. See Jennifer McCormick’s Commonsense Education Plan > We will protect the rights of students and parents by holding all schools that receive public tax dollars accountable for their spending by ensuring operational transparency. We will recognize the continuum of education and invest in all levels of the educational journey. An emphasis will be placed on completing the expansion of statewide quality and affordable childcare as well as solidifying universal PreK. We will protect instructional time by fighting to eliminate excessive state-mandated testing. We will establish a culture of collaboration across state agencies that serve children and families for efficient and effective spending and programming. We will establish an expansive plan for addressing Indiana‘s PreK-3 literacy rate by focusing on foundational milestone programs, including birth to age 3. We will grow local partnerships to ensure our kids have state-wide opportunities that address academic and behavioral needs. We will establish an ambitious school attendance program for PreK-12 students, empowering schools and community partners while holding families accountable. We will appoint a Secretary of Education and members of the State Board of Education who champion public education, understand the impact of post-COVID complexities, grant our local schools autonomy, and embrace research. We will serve as an outspoken advocate for the importance of a world-class education. We will call for a school funding formula that provides adequate and equitable funding for our most vulnerable students. We will call for a pause in the expansion of school privatization efforts while requiring fiscal and academic accountability and transparency for all of Indiana schools that receive public tax dollars. We will celebrate, champion, protect, and better fund our higher education institutions and our direct workforce development training programs. We will ensure our K-12 system plays an advanced role in career counseling by identifying and funding qualified personnel and the resources necessary to make our career counseling programs robust and effective across the state. We will champion our PreK-12 teachers and post high school instructors by implementing policies to recruit and retain the best, brightest, and most diverse educators. We will call for school funding to secure a minimum base salary of $60,000 for PreK-12 educators, and adjust veteran teacher salaries to reflect their non-educator peers. We will protect university tenure, and work to uphold teacher rights by protecting the ability of teacher unions to bargain for wages and benefits.

Fact Sheet: McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Utility Affordability Plan The McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Utility Affordability Plan will provide utility bill relief by restoring net metering to Indiana, prohibiting misuse of ratepayer dollars, and prioritizing ratepayer advocates at the IURC. The plan also calls for restoring the Daniels’ era Energizing Indiana energy efficiency goals to lower energy consumption and reduce energy bills for Hoosiers. The McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Utility Affordability Plan has four mechanisms to provide significant relief for Hoosiers: Restoring Net Metering: The plan will reinstate net metering in Indiana, allowing Hoosiers to sell electricity back to the grid at the same rate they purchase energy from it. This change will foster competition, reduce utility costs, increase energy generation, and encourage the adoption of renewable energy. Mike Braun voted to eliminate net metering. Prohibiting Misuse of Ratepayer Dollars: The plan will ban utilities from using ratepayer dollars for lobbying, advertising, trade association dues, and political contributions. This will ensure that utility companies can no longer use funds meant for services to increase their profits at the expense of consumers. Prioritizing Ratepayer Advocates in the IURC: McCormick-Goodin will appoint leaders to the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) who are committed to advocating for ratepayers, ensuring that the commission operates to apply the same competitive pressure that would exist if utilities were not statutorily protected monopolies. Lowering Utility Bills by Investing in Energy Efficiency: The McCormick-Goodin administration will reinstate Mitch Daniels’ era Energizing Indiana energy efficiency program to reduce energy consumption and lower Hoosiers‘ monthly energy bills.
