PRESS ROOM “Today’s Indiana Supreme Court decision, reinstating the supermajority’s abortion ban passed in a rushed special session nearly a year ago, means women in our state are left without the freedom to make their own health care decisions. Hoosier doctors and nurses are forced to decide quickly what it means to save a woman's life or face going to jail. The Supreme Court’s refusal to recognize a right to bodily autonomy in our state’s constitution is a danger to our women and girls and makes it more difficult for Indiana to succeed. Hoosier families and businesses expect a state where basic access to health care is protected—not criminalized—and where the lives of women and girls aren't put in danger because of a divisive political agenda. “The time has come to let the people decide. I am calling on our Indiana legislature to pass a constitutional amendment giving Hoosier voters the right to a ballot initiative or referendum process. Indiana is in the minority of states that don‘t allow for this right. Questions of such magnitude should be decided directly by the people of Indiana. Our gerrymandered legislature does not represent the will of the people, and it's time for the people to have a voice.” “As governor, I’ll continue to fight for every option to return the protections that Indiana women had for 50 years under Roe v. Wade—whether that’s legislation, a constitutional amendment, or a referendum process that gives people a voice on this critical issue.” INDIANAPOLIS—Jennifer McCormick, Democratic candidate for Indiana governor, released the following statement in response to today’s decision by the Indiana Supreme Court.

PRESS ROOM < Press Room Jennifer McCormick releases Commonsense Property Tax Relief Plan August 15, 2024 Contact: Kelly Wittman, (317) 450-5711 McCormick for Governor press@mccormickforgov.com NEW CASTLE, Ind.— Today, Indiana gubernatorial nominee Jennifer McCormick released her commonsense, responsible plan to provide property tax relief to every Hoosier, with targeted relief to those who need it most without cutting essential police, fire, and school services to Hoosiers. “Many Hoosiers are struggling to keep up with rising property taxes driven by increased assessed values. Senior citizens, those on fixed incomes, veterans, and working families deserve relief,” said McCormick. “Our commonsense plan helps those feeling the pain of property taxes without raiding critical funding that supports our local communities, schools, libraries, police, and fire departments.” The McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Property Tax Relief Plan is a multifaceted approach to put more money in Hoosiers’ pockets. The plan calls for capping the increase in property tax bills at 10%, increasing the homeowner property tax deduction by 40%, increasing personal exemptions by 150%, and increasing the renters tax deduction by 33%. These steps will ease the burden of rising property tax rates while creating time for a holistic look at Indiana government funding. “Mike Braun’s plan is unserious, reckless, and fiscally irresponsible. Leave it to a D.C. politician like Mike Braun to promise tax cuts that won’t come out of the state budget or impact state spending,” added McCormick. “The state can provide property tax relief now for those who need it while finding a long term solution to address local funding needs. It is simply a question of budget priorities. As a State Representative, Mike Braun voted for higher property taxes [ 1] when he had the chance to put Hoosiers first. I will always put Hoosiers first and support our local communities.” ### [ 1] Indiana General Assembly, H.B. 1476, Vote 265, 2/25/2015 STAY INFORMED First name* Last name* Email* Phone (no dashes) By providing your mobile phone number you consent to receive recurring automated text messages from the McCormick for Governor campaign.

SEND ME UPDATES Fact Sheet: McCormick Commonsense Property Tax Relief Plan The McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Property Tax Relief Plan will provide property tax relief by increasing tax credits for senior citizens, veterans and low income Hoosier families in 2025 and 2026. The plan also calls for increasing tax exemptions for renters and capping yearly property tax increases at ten percent. The McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Property Tax Relief Plan has six mechanisms to provide significant relief for Hoosiers: 40% Increase in the Homeowner Property Tax Deduction: Increase the maximum homeowner property tax deduction from $2,500 to $3,500. The Indiana Legislative Services Agency last year estimated this would be an $8.8 million savings to eligible homeowners starting 2025. Expand Deductions for Senior Citizens: Expand property tax deductions by increasing the income threshold for senior citizens over 65 years making up to $40,000 for individuals and $50,000 for households with joint returns and assessed value of real property up to $300,000. Currently, the income threshold for senior citizens is $30,000 for individuals and $40,000 for households with joint returns and assessed value of real property up to $200,000. In 2022, the Indiana Legislative Services Agency estimated this would cost approximately $14.7 to $21.8 million per year. Expand Deduction for Disabled Veterans: Increases the cap on assessed value from $240,000 to $350,000 to expand qualifications for disabled veterans (total disability or at least age 62 with at least 10% disability). The Indiana Legislative Services Agency last year estimated this would cost approximately $6.8 million per year. 150% Increase in Exemptions on Personal Income: Increase the amount of exemptions on state and local income taxes from $1,000 to $2,500. The Indiana Legislative Services Agency last year estimated this would result in approximately $500 million in savings to taxpayers, including the elderly and blind ($333 million of savings in state income taxes and $173 million of savings in local income taxes). Cap Property Tax Bill Increases at 10%: Individual homestead owners will receive a refundable tax credit to offset property tax increases if their property tax bill grows more than 10% compared to the prior year (excluding schools’ passed referendums). This policy will effectively cap the growth of property tax bills at no more than 10% annually. In 2022, the Indiana Legislative Services Agency estimated this would result in approximately $23.5 million of savings to individual homestead owners starting Calendar Year 2024, and $7 million in each subsequent year. 33% Increase in Renters Tax Deduction: Increase the renter’s income tax deduction from $3,000 per year to $4,000 per year. The Indiana Legislative Services Agency last year estimated this would cost approximately $28 million per year.

INDIANAPOLIS—Today, Indiana’s last elected superintendent of public instruction Jennifer McCormick submitted the necessary signatures to qualify for the May Democratic Primary ballot for Governor. PRESS ROOM McCormick gathered over 9,000 signatures, more than doubling the number needed to make the ballot across the state and in many of Indiana’s nine congressional districts. “Jennifer McCormick is gaining popularity and momentum across Indiana, and her signature campaign is direct proof,” said Indiana Democratic Party Chair Mike Schmuhl. “Hoosiers know our next governor should be focused on taking on special interests, raising teacher pay at local schools, expanding childcare opportunities, protecting personal freedoms, and supporting Indiana’s rural hospitals.” “After 20 years of Republican administrations, it's clear that one-party rule is limiting Indiana’s potential. We need leadership that listens to Hoosiers and protects their rights. Instead, Republicans have stripped away the right to choose and refused to give Hoosiers a direct voice at the ballot box on critical issues like our neighbors. As governor, Jennifer will listen to Hoosiers, restore reproductive rights, and bring much-needed balance to our state government.” “Our party is united behind her, and ready for 2024, while the Republican gubernatorial candidates begin their primary race to the bottom and collectively spend millions to persuade Hoosiers.” With today’s submissions, McCormick now becomes the only Democratic gubernatorial candidate to qualify for the primary ballot.

PRESS ROOM “I’m running for governor because our political leaders have lost sight of the challenges they were elected to solve. They are defunding and politicizing our schools, burdening us with the nation’s highest gas tax, taking our rights away, and standing by as we pay the highest health care costs in the nation. It’s time for a leader who will put Hoosier’s first. Together, we can restore common sense and put an end to the divisiveness that’s pulling our state backward,” said Jennifer McCormick. “I know we can move our state forward by fighting for our public schools, making health care accessible and affordable, and bringing good paying jobs to main streets across Indiana. I loved serving our state and look forward to the opportunity to continue meeting with Hoosiers who believe it’s time for a change.” McCormick launched her campaign with a video that highlights her experience growing up in New Castle, Indiana, where she saw the resilience of Hoosiers firsthand and learned the values of service, excellence, and empowering others. Her commitment to public service led her to the classroom, starting her career as a teacher, before serving as a principal and rural public school superintendent. In 2016 McCormick was elected as the 44th and last Indiana superintendent of public instruction, before the Indiana legislature changed the office to an appointed one. As state superintendent, McCormick fought to take politics out of the classroom and ensure every child had access to the best education possible. Unfortunately, the supermajority in our statehouse are focusing on issues that don’t help working families, a frustration she heard traveling the state during her exploratory committee. Hoosiers are ready for a leader who believes in common sense solutions that make the state one where our children will stay, work, and thrive.

All Hoosiers should be empowered and entrusted to make their own healthcare decisions without government interference. Reproductive Rights and Freedoms < Issues Indiana’s Republican-led extreme abortion ban has taken away the right of women to make deeply personal decisions regarding their own healthcare. Government action should not compromise the health of its citizens or severely limit opportunities to reach their full potential. See Jennifer McCormick’s Commonsense Abortion Rights Plan > We will fight for reproductive rights and freedoms, including restoring those rights and freedoms recently lost. We will examine all potential paths to a constitutional amendment that restores access to abortion services and a promise to veto any bill that further limits the rights and liberties of women throughout our state. We will also work to expand Medicaid programs and provide greater flexibility for family medical leave so that basic health and childcare needs of Hoosiers are met. We will appoint Indiana Supreme Court justices who believe in upholding reproductive rights and freedoms. We will work to create a state where healthcare providers are respected and protected in order to attract and retain the best and brightest in all corners of the state. We will work to provide state-wide access to maternal health services, addressing our state’s 25 counties deemed “maternity care deserts” while understanding 30% of our counties are without an OB-GYN. We will fight for Hoosiers access to comprehensive contraceptive care and contraceptive methods. We will protect IVF treatments and access to contraception, empowering personal family planning.

All Hoosiers deserve to thrive in an environment enriched by the natural beauty of our state. Environmental Protections < Issues All Hoosiers deserve to thrive in a healthy environment enriched by the natural beauty of our great state. We will create an Office of Environmental Justice within the Department of Environmental Management to build partnerships through outreach efforts and promote meaningful involvement of all Hoosiers in the environmental decision-making process. We will promote policies that protect our wetlands, water, air, soil, recreational forests, and wildlife and fight against policies that result in their devastation, leading to unhealthy Hoosiers and communities. We will create and implement an overall water management plan, including local control of water resources. We will demand accountability and transparency of the environmental impact of economic development efforts, including that of the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC). In doing so, I will call for a pause in the LEAP project as well as the southern Indiana Mid-States Corridor Project in order to audit the totality of the projects. We will join the bipartisan group of governors in the U.S. Climate Alliance to further encourage the adoption of renewable energy sources and incentivize green technology innovation while creating green jobs. We will uphold protections on the ownership and stewardship of our farmland against foreign adversaries. 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.
