  • Thriving Economy | Jennifer McCormick for Governor

    All Hoosiers should be provided with abundant opportunities to improve their quality of life and business be provided an environment to thrive. Thriving Economy < Issues As we navigate the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century, it is imperative to adopt a comprehensive economic development policy and plan that fosters small business innovation, attracts business investment, creates high-quality jobs, establishes a highly skilled workforce, strengthens our labor unions, and ensures sustainability. We will develop and implement a comprehensive economic development plan that is honest and transparent, including being accurate in job creation claims, capital investments, and wages. We will fight for policy that promotes a healthy and viable workforce. That means access to affordable healthcare and recruiting and retaining quality health care providers for all, including prioritizing mental health and addiction care. We will champion for a strong world-class education system—embracing an approach focused on birth through adulthood—that is adequately and equitably funded in order to produce highly educated and skilled Hoosiers. We will hold the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) accountable for transparency in operations—such as the amount of tax avoidance of their investments, inclusivity of local input, and honesty regarding investment outcomes. I will also broaden the definition of local participation in incentives—ensuring local officials to determine priorities. We will work in collaboration with in-state, national, and international partners to launch comprehensive workforce development initiatives tailored to the needs of emerging industries, setting expectations for and providing support for a highly educated and trained citizenry. We will pursue federal grants aligned with Indiana’s needs and priorities by bringing back your tax dollars from Washington DC. We will approach the promotion of partnerships between educational institutions, labor unions, and employers to best align curriculum with industry demands, using a practical and purposeful manner while empowering instructors. We will provide targeted support for small businesses and startups through access to capital, incubator programs, mentorship networks, and nurturing a vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem statewide. We will identify and reduce administrative barriers to business formation while increasing access to goal support and resources for women and minority-owned businesses, fostering a conducive environment for entrepreneurship and innovation. We will create innovation clusters in key sectors, fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange among businesses, research institutions, local leaders, and startups. We will prioritize Indiana becoming a hub of a highly educated, skilled, and viable workforce to attract and retain business and industry who offer high-wage jobs. This begins by ensuring Hoosiers have opportunities for a high quality of life- offering a world-class education, access to affordable healthcare and housing, embracing an array of recreational options, and protecting the rights and freedoms of all citizens. We will support our collective bargaining, which ultimately impacts the wages of our entire workforce by making sure their voices are represented on state-level boards and commissions. We will support the viability of our workforce by empowering and supporting our families through the development and expansion of statewide access to programs that address Hoosiers’ needs related to birth through age 3, affordable childcare, and universal PreK. We will fight for the legalization of medical marijuana as a source of state revenue established on a well-regulated marketplace and monitored by a Cannabis Task Force in order to study the issues, opportunities, and potential obstructions associated with recreational marijuana legalization. We will also support the expungement of criminal records for low-level marijuana-related convictions as well as investments in job programs for those negatively impacted by the criminalization of marijuana to increase the availability of Hoosiers in the workforce. We will work with local officials to examine ways in which my office can assist with the affordable housing crisis happening in many of our communities. We will invest in a modernized Indiana infrastructure by prioritizing investments in transportation, fast and reliable broadband connectivity, and renewable energy infrastructure. We will create an economic development plan that promotes environmental stewardship, energy efficiency, and resilience to our changing climate. I will support the further transition and expansion of renewable and clean energy for Hoosier citizens and businesses by investing in locally-driven energy practices. We will commit to joining 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, supporting the transition to a low-carbon economy while creating green jobs and reducing negative environmental impacts of economic development. We will foster economic inclusivity by promoting equality in the workforce, business ownership, and procurement practices, ensuring that all Hoosiers have equal access to economic opportunities and prosperity. We will fight for more cash in Hoosiers’ pockets by establishing the expectation of reliable and affordable utilities that provide beneficial services to our communities and environment by restoring responsible practices from the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission. We will implement targeted programs to address disparities in underserved communities, including minority-owned businesses, rural areas, and areas affected by economic downturns, fostering inclusive growth and reducing income inequality.

  • Responsible Government | Jennifer McCormick for Governor

    All Hoosiers deserve a state government that can be trusted, held accountable, and works for the protections and betterment of all. Responsible Government < Issues All Hoosiers deserve a state government that can be trusted, is held accountable, and works for the protections and betterment of all. See Jennifer McCormick’s Commonsense Ethics Plan > We will fight to protect individuals by promoting good policy that protects and respects the rights and freedoms of all individuals and fight against policy that promotes hate. We will budget based on priorities and the responsible use of public tax dollars. We will audit the possibility of merging state agencies and/or their responsibilities to support collaboration for efficient and effective spending and programming. We will scrutinize any tax increases proposed by the republican-led legislature. We commit to making responsible appointments and staffing decisions with individuals who hold the expertise and passion for the specific work. I will only bring forth those who put Hoosiers before political or personal gain. We will govern, including working with the Office of Inspector General, with the highest standards of transparency and accountability to inspire Hoosier confidence in their government. We will speak out against state government overreach and frivolous actions.

  • McCormick: High School redesign can work when educators and parents are involved in the process | Jennifer McCormick for Governor

    PRESS ROOM < Press Room McCormick: High school redesign can work when educators and parents are involved in the process Today’s plan closely tracks with McCormick’s 2019 vision August 14, 2024 Contact: Kelly Wittman, (317) 450-5711 McCormick for Governor press@mccormickforgov.com INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.—Today, the Indiana State Department of Education presented yet another version of its redesign for Indiana’s high school diploma requirements. This proposal more closely resembles one put forth in 2019 by Jennifer McCormick, the last elected state Superintendent of Public Instruction, when the supermajority last revised the high school diploma requirements and disrupted educator practices. “I’m heartened to see Indiana’s State Board of Education finally listen to Hoosier educators, parents, professional associations, and business partners to bring high school diploma requirements closer to what I proposed as Superintendent of Public Instruction almost five years ago,” said Indiana Democratic nominee for Governor Jennifer McCormick. “Hoosier students deserve broader opportunities, not narrower pathways. The supermajority has demonstrated its inability to put aside partisan politics and listen to Hoosiers so intentional policy can be enacted that does right by our students. It only took this supermajority five years to catch up with what our team at the Department of Education proposed in 2019. It’s common sense to let teachers teach, and students learn and succeed to their highest capacity.” McCormick’s plan in 2019 proposed one diploma with two paths that each held students to rigorous and competitive expectations while ensuring an educational experience that provided for the exploration of interests and pursuit of intentional opportunities. It also promoted a well-rounded educational experience that exposed students to new and different ideas so they might learn the importance of being productive members of a global society. This plan was developed in response to the graduation pathways diploma requirements finalized in 2018 and aimed to streamline the high school experience, raise expectations, maximize programs that work, and provide flexibility to develop new opportunities tailored to meet individual student needs. While this plan was ignored by policymakers, including current state board members and leaders from the General Assembly, it clearly left an impression. Dr. McCormick recognizes the novel idea of diploma seals for enrollment, enlistment, and employment as an addition to her 2019 proposal. ### About Jennifer McCormick: Jennifer McCormick is a lifelong educator and fifth-generation Hoosier from New Castle, Indiana.

  • Commonsense Ethics Plan | Jennifer McCormick for Governor

    Fact Sheet: McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Ethics Plan The McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Ethics Plan will increase transparency at the state and local levels, better regulate lobbying, reform campaign finance laws, and provide a reporting mechanism for sexual harassment. The McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Ethics Plan has six primary commonsense ways to provide more ethical and transparent government for Hoosiers (some require legislative action): Increased Transparency in State and Local Government: Restore the legal bias towards public disclosure. Government records are public records unless a compelling public benefit exists to limit their disclosure. Ensure the state legislature is bound by Indiana’s Access to Public Records Act (APRA) law. Include links to campaign finance and statements of economic interests on the Indiana Transparency Portal. Total Lobbyist Gift Ban: Ban lobbyists from giving anything of value to a legislative or executive official, including members of the Indiana General Assembly. “Not so much as a cup of coffee.” Lobbyists should be advocates, not entertainers. Attach criminal penalties to both lobbyists and legislative persons for gift ban violations by making gifts unlawful lobbying. Remove Lobbyists from Political Offices: Registered lobbyists will be precluded from holding a position on a political committee (current law prevents State Party Chairs from being registered lobbyists). Lock Revolving Door: Increase Indiana’s post-employment restriction on lobbying activity from one year after leaving public office to three years. Reform Campaign Finance Reporting: Candidates for public office in Indiana will file campaign finance reports with the state election division (currently, local candidates file with one of 92 county election boards) and standardize quarterly reporting in election and non-election years. Additionally, state and local candidates and elected officials will file the same statement of economic interest form with the state election commission. Sexual Harassment Reporting: The Inspector General will establish a confidential reporting mechanism for sexual harassment committed by state or local elected or appointed officials and lobbyists. After the office's investigation, the Inspector General will inform the state ethics committee of the findings. If criminal actions are warranted, refer the findings to the prosecutor of record. If the matter is noncriminal, the findings will be referred to the appropriate personnel department (state or local HR). If the harasser is an elected official, the ethics committee will publicize the findings.

  • Healthcare | Jennifer McCormick for Governor

    All Hoosiers deserve access to affordable healthcare delivered by quality providers at all stages of life, regardless of ZIP code. Healthcare < Issues When Hoosiers are healthy, they succeed in the classroom, at work, and at home. From our very youngest Hoosiers to those who are living out their golden senior years, Hoosiers must have access to an affordable, robust healthcare and public health system to achieve positive health outcomes through prevention, education, and access to care. We will address the monopolization of hospital systems in Indiana by continuing to fight for competition by establishing an environment to grow independent hospitals, promote incentives and protections for health care provider recruitment and retention, and provide for more professional autonomy in practices. We, I will explore all measures to continue to lower prescription costs. We will prioritize statewide access to affordable and quality mental health services and addiction care, promoting the safety and wellbeing of Hoosiers. We will expand Hoosiers’ Right to Try regarding their own healthcare by eliminating barriers and providing timely education to Hoosiers with serious or immediately life-threatening conditions. We will fight for all Hoosiers to make their own healthcare decisions, including reproductive rights and freedoms, embracing IVF and access to contraception. 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 work to lower Indiana’s infant mortality rate by better connecting mothers and families to accessible care and education. We will audit and address the issues plaguing Indiana’s Family and Social Services Administration’s (FSSA) operations and advance services to Hoosiers. We cannot repeat the Medicaid shortfall issue our families are facing and continue to have state agencies operate in silos. We will support the development of a legal, well-regulated cannabis market. Legalizing medical marijuana would be the first step and carries the benefit of providing doctors one more option for treating suffering patients. We will champion organ and tissue donation by establishing a better support system for living donors along with supporting statewide education programs regarding organ and tissue donation. 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 prioritize preventive programs addressing Indiana’s top health issues such as obesity, smoking, and other chronic diseases. These conditions are preventable and treatable, but continuing to ignore them will only increase healthcare expenditures, contribute to maternal mortality rates, and perpetuate family cycles of unhealthy lifestyles. We will work with local officials to sustain their local healthcare facilities and health care providers, directing attention to our underserved communities by promoting projects that support the creation and expansion of health centers and recruiting healthcare providers to areas in need of services. We will make it a priority to fully fund Medicaid and the Health First Indiana Program to ensure our public health system is positioned to serve Hoosiers today and tomorrow. We will prioritize education surrounding vaccination and immunizations by working across state agencies to launch an aggressive campaign.

  • Statement on Primary results | Jennifer McCormick for Governor

    PRESS ROOM < Press Room Primary results are in: Jennifer McCormick will face extreme Republican Mike Braun in November general election May 7, 2024 INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.—Following today’s primary election results, Democrat Jennifer McCormick emerges as the beacon of hope against the chaos and fear brought forth by extreme Republican candidate Mike Braun. The upcoming November election in Indiana will be a pivotal movement for the future direction of our state, as voters will have the opportunity to choose between two vastly different visions. “The primary results are in, setting up a clear choice this November,” stated McCormick. “As your governor, I will stand firm in my commitment to the values that define us as Hoosiers. I will fight to restore our reproductive rights and freedoms, champion for our kids, and ensure Hoosiers earn the wages they deserve. Indiana values reflect those of common sense, civility, and bipartisanship. Let’s bring this back to our great state. It’s our time; let’s go!” Jennifer McCormick stands for optimism and opportunity. With a proven track record of leadership and dedication to serving the people of Indiana, McCormick offers a fresh perspective grounded in inclusivity, transparency, and accountability. Her commitment to putting the needs of all citizens first, regardless of political affiliation, resonates deeply with voters across the state. In stark contrast, Mike Braun’s victory in the Republican primary signals a troubling embrace of extremism that threatens to divide our state and sow further discord. His platform of chaos and fear offers no real solutions to the pressing issues facing Hoosiers, instead opting for divisive rhetoric and fear-mongering tactics. As the November election approaches, voters in Indiana face a clear choice. After twenty years of one-party rule, will Indiana continue down the path of polarization and division, or will Hoosiers come together to embrace a future filled with optimism and opportunity? Jennifer McCormick represents the best of Indiana, offering a unifying vision that transcends party lines and puts the well-being of all Hoosiers first.
