- Jennnifer McCormick announces campaign for Indiana Governor | Jennifer McCormick for Governor
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. INDIANAPOLIS—Jennifer McCormick, a 5th generation Hoosier and former Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction, announced she will run for governor of Indiana, pledging to be a voice for Hoosiers by restoring back common sense and ending divisive politics of supermajority in the statehouse.

- Reproductive Rights and Freedoms | Jennifer McCormick for Governor
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.

- Environmental Protections | Jennifer McCormick for Governor
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.
- World-Class Local Schools | Jennifer McCormick for Governor
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.
- GOODIN: Mike Braun’s failures and our plan to revitalize rural Indiana.
PRESS ROOM < Press Room GOODIN: Mike Braun’s Failures and Our Plan to Revitalize Rural Indiana. October 17, 2024 By Terry Goodin, Democratic Nominee for Lt. Governor of Indiana press@mccormickforgov.com Indiana’s single-party rule has left rural Hoosiers behind for far too long. Under the Republican leadership of the past 20 years, our state’s rural communities have seen declining populations, underfunded schools, and insufficient healthcare access. As a seventh-generation farmer, former state director for the United States Department of Agriculture, rural school superintendent, and the Democratic nominee for Lieutenant Governor, I'm not a politician. I'm a part of rural Indiana. I’m here to offer a real plan for revitalizing rural Indiana and supporting our farmers—one built on action, not empty promises. Because while Mike Braun promises action, his track record proves otherwise. One of the most glaring failures of Braun’s record is his refusal to support a new Farm Bill to replace the now-expired Farm Bill. This bill is not just a piece of legislation; it directly affects the daily lives of our farmers – farmers across Indiana stuck with outdated reference prices and shrinking markets. Without a new Farm Bill, our farmers must navigate a global marketplace without the tools they need to succeed. Our Balanced Agriculture and Rural Priorities Strategy addresses this head-on. We will work with Indiana’s Congressional delegation to pass a new Farm Bill that updates these reference prices and restores essential market promotion programs, giving our farmers a fighting chance in a competitive world. Braun’s failure to act on the Farm Bill is directly tied to his disconnect from the realities Hoosier farmers face. While farmland prices have surged to $14,500 an acre, his extreme running mate Micah Beckwith recently claimed land costs just $1,500—proof that the Braun-Beckwith ticket doesn’t understand rural Indiana’s realities. Meanwhile, our strategy restores balance and provides real solutions, such as protecting family farms from corporate takeover and promoting local agriculture to keep Indiana-grown products on Hoosier tables. Additionally, broadband access remains a critical issue in rural Indiana. While Braun’s opposition to broadband funding has left rural residents disconnected, our plan ensures that every Hoosier can access high-speed internet. Lack of broadband access means farmers can’t do their work, students struggle to complete homework, and businesses cannot compete in the digital economy. By expanding broadband, we will empower rural communities to grow and thrive in the 21st century. But our plan goes beyond agriculture. Rural residents face healthcare and mental healthcare deserts, with few options for affordable care. We’re committed to changing that by investing in rural healthcare infrastructure and ensuring families can access affordable, quality healthcare. In addition, we will support small businesses and create jobs through infrastructure investments that will strengthen the backbone of rural Indiana. Mike Braun has had his chance, and he’s failed. It’s common sense that it is time for a change. Jennifer McCormick and I have a balanced vision for Indiana that includes all Hoosiers, from our largest cities to the smallest farming communities. Our Balanced Agriculture and Rural Priorities Strategy will deliver the real support rural Indiana needs to thrive. ### About Jennifer McCormick: Jennifer McCormick is a lifelong educator and fifth-generation Hoosier from New Castle, Indiana. She has spent decades serving Indiana as a teacher, principal, and most recently, state superintendent of public instruction. While superintendent in rural Indiana, Jennifer fought to protect local control of school districts to ensure parents, teachers, and administrators could make the best decisions for their children. As state superintendent, she was a powerful advocate for teachers and students, ensuring they had the resources they needed to succeed while protecting taxpayer dollars by demanding transparency and fiscal accountability. Jennifer believes it's time we elect a public servant leader who empowers Hoosier voices so that together, we can make Indiana an attractive state in which to live, work, and thrive. About Terry Goodin: Terry Goodin most recently served as the State Director for Rural Development with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), a role that exemplified his commitment to improving the lives of rural Hoosiers. Prior to his work with the USDA, Terry served as a public school educator. His administrative endeavors began as an assistant principal and teacher at Austin High School, followed by serving as assistant principal with Bloomington High School South. Terry spent 24 years as a Public School Superintendent at Crothersville Community Schools. Elected in 2000, he served 20 years in the Indiana House of Representatives and was chosen by his colleagues as the House Minority Leader in 2017. As a member of the Indiana General Assembly, Terry committed his time to creating better opportunities for Indiana through educational, agricultural, and rural development initiatives and was a staunch advocate for the expansion of Broadband connectivity.

- McCormick releases McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Ethics Plan | Jennifer McCormick for Governor
PRESS ROOM Jennifer McCormick Releases McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Abortion Rights Plan McCormick: “This election is a referendum on abortion rights in Indiana.” < Press Room Jennifer McCormick Releases McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Abortion Rights Plan McCormick: “This election is a referendum on abortion rights in Indiana.” October 10, 2024 Contact: Mila Myles, (812) 240-3938 McCormick for Governor press@mccormickforgov.com NEW CASTLE, Ind.— Today, Indiana Democratic gubernatorial nominee Jennifer McCormick reaffirmed her commitment to restoring the rights and freedoms women relied on for 50 years under Roe v. Wade. As Governor, McCormick will fight to ensure that women have the right to an abortion. This standard was long the law of the land before the recent rollback of reproductive rights. "This election is a referendum on abortion rights in Indiana," McCormick said. "I trust women and their healthcare providers to make the best decisions for their health, and it's time we bring common sense and balance back to our state policies." Acknowledging the legislative hurdles, McCormick outlined several executive actions that can be taken to protect reproductive rights and access in Indiana: Direct the Indiana Department of Health to interpret existing laws in a way that maximizes legal access to abortion services. By clarifying regulations, McCormick will work to reduce barriers that clinics and providers face. Reproductive health funding will be prioritized in the state budget to provide reproductive health services — not anti-abortion advocacy. Shift focus from enforcement to compliance assistance for clinics and providers, creating a more supportive regulatory environment. Appoint abortion rights supporters to relevant state boards and commissions, including the Medical Licensing Board, to ensure the state's policy implementation aligns with trusting women and healthcare providers. Fight to protect the privacy of Hoosiers’ medical records from prying government officials, including terminated pregnancy reports. Use the governor’s office as a platform to defend abortion rights and inform Hoosiers of their reproductive freedoms. Additionally, McCormick will push for legislative change to create citizen-led ballot initiatives to allow the people to repeal Indiana’s extreme abortion ban directly. McCormick’s opponents, Mike Braun and Micah Beckwith, support an extreme abortion ban with no exceptions. Their even more extreme ban, if enacted, would prohibit all abortions, even in cases of rape, incest, or when the mother's life is at risk. "The choice in this election is clear," McCormick emphasized. "When I’m elected Governor, the people of Indiana will have spoken loudly and clearly in favor of abortion rights." Jennifer McCormick’s campaign is focused on restoring balance and common sense to Indiana’s government, and protecting women's rights is at the heart of that mission. ### Fact Sheet: McCormick Commonsense Abortion Rights Plan The McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Abortion Rights Plan will protect abortion rights for Hoosiers, even in the absence of legislative action.

- Commonsense Utility Affordability Plan | Jennifer McCormick for Governor
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. Historic Rates Utility Average Bill at 1,000 kWh/mo in 2004 Average Bill at 1,000 kWh/mo in 2010 Average Bill at 1,000 kWh/mo in 2023 I&M (AEP) $68.34 $81.45 $147.38 NIPSCO $91.55 $105.55 $156.44 AES $68.92 $85.75 $126.31 CenterPoint $87.54 $132.65 $165.00 Duke $79.20 $96.30 $128.79 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.
