PRESS ROOM McCormick releases McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Education Plan Commonsense plan increases transparency, bans lobbyist gifts, and creates a sexual harassment reporting mechanism < Press Room McCormick releases McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Ethics Plan Commonsense plan increases transparency, bans lobbyist gifts, and creates a sexual harassment reporting mechanism September 5, 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 plan to increase governmental transparency, lobbyist regulation, and elected official accountability to Indiana’s state and local governments. “Hoosiers deserve a transparent, ethical government above reproach,” said McCormick. “Our commonsense plan addresses erosion in public access and transparency, better regulates special interests’ influence of government, locks the legislator to lobbyist revolving door in the Statehouse, and provides a reporting mechanism for sexual harassment.” The McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Ethics Plan will increase regulation of paid lobbying and prohibit lobbyists from gifting anything of value to a legislative person. “It’s common sense that legislators shouldn’t be getting free suite tickets and steak dinners from lobbyists; that’s not advocacy, that’s entertainment,” said McCormick on prohibiting any gifts from lobbyists. Additionally, the McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Ethics Plan increases governmental transparency, standardizes campaign finance and statement of economic interest reporting, tightens the prohibitions on the revolving door of lobbying, and provides a state mechanism to report sexual harassment experienced at the state or local level. “It’s common sense to standardize our campaign finance reporting and statements of economic interests for candidates and office holders at the state and local level,” said McCormick regarding the campaign finance changes. “Combining Indiana’s ninety-three campaign finance reporting agencies into the bipartisan State Election Division makes sense.” ### 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.

PRESS ROOM < Press Room Jennifer McCormick responds to Mike Braun’s property tax flip flop July 26, 2024 Contact: Kelly Wittman, (317) 450-5711 McCormick for Governor press@mccormickforgov.com NEW CASTLE, Ind.—Today, Mike Braun released a property tax plan that misleads Hoosiers about his record on property taxes. “Mike Braun claims to support cutting property taxes, but his record shows he’s voted to increase Hoosiers’ property tax bills,” said Jennifer McCormick, Indiana’s 2024 Democratic gubernatorial nominee. As a State Representative, Braun voted to allow counties to impose additional property taxes on homeowners. In 2015, Braun voted to pass House Bill 1476, allowing counties to establish a property tax replacement fee for parcels with tax deductions or credits reducing liability below $200, with a minimum annual payment of $100 to $200.[1] According to the legislative services agency, it would affect up to 330,568 parcels at a cost of up to $38.6 million annually on Hoosier taxpayers.[2] “Hoosiers are sick and tired of politicians who will say anything to get elected,” McCormick continued. “Mike Braun voted for higher Hoosier property taxes when he had the chance and is now only talking about a tax cut because he’s another politician Hoosiers are sick of.” ### [1] Indiana General Assembly, H.B. 1476, Vote 265, 2/25/2015 [2] Indiana General Assembly, H.B. 1476, Fiscal Impact Statement, 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.

Fact Sheet: McCormick-Goodin Balanced Economic Development Strategy Over the last twenty years, Indiana’s economy has lagged behind the rest of the country. Indiana and the Indiana Economic Development Corporation have primarily focused on creating a “favorable business environment” through tax incentives, regulatory reductions, reducing wages paid to workers, and even functioning as real estate developers. This approach has not led to sustained economic growth. Workforce challenges, particularly talent attraction and retention, remain Indiana’s most prominent barrier to significant growth. Indiana’s future economic development efforts should shift from prioritizing the largest employers to prioritizing people and small businesses. Invest in Education and Workforce Development. Indiana currently ranks 41st in educational attainment, making it harder to attract and retain high-wage employers and workers. By increasing funding for pre-K, K-12, and higher education, including implementing workforce training programs in partnership with Indiana’s colleges and universities and union apprenticeships, we can create a more diverse and educated workforce. This, in turn, will allow Indiana to compete for higher-paying industries and encourage Hoosier young professionals to stay in Indiana, paving the way for significant economic growth. Expand Quality of Life Investments. Business leaders consistently cite Indiana’s inability to attract young, talented workers due to low investment in quality-of-life projects. The problem is especially acute beyond central Indiana, with economic and population growth centered around the capital. Modeling the Regional Cities Initiative across the state to invest in quality-of-life improvements like affordable housing, cultural amenities, and public spaces will make a difference. Prioritizing infrastructure that enhances Hoosiers’ livability, such as parks, transit, and infrastructure, will make Indiana more attractive for young professionals and families. Creating more vibrant, livable communities across the state will make Indiana more appealing to workers, making economic growth more straightforward. Look Beyond Central Indiana. Many talented Hoosier workers are forced to leave their communities to relocate to Central Indiana or, worse, out of state to earn higher wages. Indiana should consider implementing local talent retention programs in each region, including tuition support payment assistance, housing stipends, and tax breaks for individuals who stay and work in smaller communities after graduation. Empower Local Governments and Customize Economic Solutions. A one-size-fits-all strategy doesn’t address the specific challenges faced by different regions. Increasing local input over economic development funds allows counties to tailor initiatives based on their unique strengths–agribusiness in northern Indiana, logistics in southeastern Indiana, or tourism across the state. State agencies should provide technical support and guidance, giving localities more flexibility in attracting industries and workers that align with their regional economies. Localized strategies will allow every county to leverage competitive advantages and help foster statewide economic diversity. Invest in Tourism and Agritourism. Rural and smaller communities often need more industry diversification, currently relying too heavily on one or two sectors. Indiana should invest in agritourism and outdoor recreation to drive economic growth. Programs should incentivize local entrepreneurs to develop businesses like bed-and-breakfasts, farm tours, wineries, and eco-tourism. The state should provide grants and marketing support. This investment will diversify the economies of smaller communities, making them less dependent on single industries and more attractive as destinations for visitors and potential new residents. Support Small Businesses. Hoosier small businesses are the cornerstone of our economy and the beating hearts of our communities. Over and over again, we see that the way to build a strong economy is by investing in Main Street, not Wall Street. That’s why my administration will provide targeted support for small businesses and startups by increasing access to capital, creating incubator programs and mentorship networks, and nurturing a vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem statewide. We will also improve access to resources for women, veterans, and minority-owned businesses. It’s common sense that Indiana can’t be just business-friendly but small business-friendly, and this starts by bringing balance back to our state’s economic policies, focusing on workers and small employers and not just the state’s largest corporations. Strengthen Public Health and Healthcare Accessibility. High healthcare costs and lessening accessibility are significant deterrents for businesses and people considering a move to Indiana. Increasing Indiana’s investment in public health and healthcare infrastructure across the state—emphasizing the reduction of costs for vulnerable Hoosiers—will improve accessibility and turn the tide against the disappearance of rural healthcare providers. We will also incentivize companies to create wellness programs, reducing the long-term cost of care. A healthier workforce is more productive, and affordable quality healthcare makes Indiana a more attractive place for people to live and work. Restore Common Sense to Government. Indiana took a significant reputational hit globally during the RFRA debate ten years ago, making many believe we are not a welcoming state that values diversity. After twenty years of single-party and extremist rule, we must restore Indiana’s reputation by bringing balance and common sense to the Statehouse. We’ll start by repealing Indiana’s extreme abortion ban, legalizing and regulating adult use of cannabis, and stopping the extreme and socially divisive policies. We will never be able to retain and attract outstanding talent if the State is seen as unwelcoming. Achieving more sustainable growth across Indiana requires the state’s economic development strategy to move away from massive tax giveaways to the largest corporations and instead focus on attracting and retaining highly skilled people. Indiana shouldn’t pick winners and losers but instead focus on developing a statewide, locally-driven economic development strategy in all 92 counties. By prioritizing talent attraction through broad investments in education, healthcare, infrastructure, and local empowerment, and by ending the extreme social policies of single-party rule, Indiana can ensure that every region—not just central Indiana–can thrive. This shift will drive inclusive, statewide growth and make Indiana a great state for business—because it will once again be a welcoming place to live, work, and raise a family. Fact Sheet: McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Economic Development Plan The McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Economic Development Plan exists to implement the McCormick-Goodin Balanced Economic Development Strategy. While the strategy prioritizes recruitment and retention of Hoosiers, the plan has actionable items to implement. Reform the Role of the IEDC to Original Intention The IEDC has overextended its original mandate by acting as a real estate developer (e.g., with the LEAP district) and focusing on picking winners and losers among regions. This strategy creates imbalance and inefficiency in Indiana’s growth. The IEDC should return to its original purpose as a business concierge, facilitating smooth business operations, fostering private investment, and prioritizing business retention and expansion support. Statewide economic policies should broaden their focus to fundamental building blocks for economic growth, such as education, workforce development, and livability improvements. Increase Transparency and Accountability at the IEDC Many of the tax abatements and incentives provided by the IEDC need to be more transparent, and more public information about the long-term returns on these investments should be required. Increase transparency on how taxpayer dollars are used by the IEDC, particularly in large real estate projects like LEAP. Provide regular public reports that track the progress of tax incentives and ensure that Hoosiers understand what they are receiving in return for their investment. End the Practice of Picking Winners and Losers The IEDC has created competition among regions, which pits Indiana communities against one another. As economists everywhere have pointed out, the government is bad at picking winners and losers. Focus on inclusive economic development by ensuring all 92 counties benefit from state-level support. Continue the READI and Stellar Pathway programs targeting long-term regional revitalization efforts without favoritism and greater flexibility. Expand Small Business Support via Regulatory Review and Streamline Licensing Indiana has a favorable business climate, but specific regulator barriers and cumbersome licensing requirements make it difficult for businesses to start or expand. Conduct a comprehensive regulatory review to eliminate unnecessary barriers for startups and existing businesses. Streamline licensing processes and provide a state tax phase-in for all new businesses, regardless of size, ensuring fairness between large corporations and local companies in critical sectors. Incentivize Childcare Support for Employers The lack of affordable childcare is a significant barrier for working families, and businesses are increasingly frustrated by its impact on worker retention. Create a state corporate income tax credit for businesses that provide on-site or nearby childcare for employees. Capping this at $300 million annually will ensure broad participation while containing costs. Expand the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) Many low-income families struggle as inflation rises, making retaining workers in smaller communities harder. Expand the EITC threshold to better reflect inflation would help low-income workers keep more of their wages. This change could provide up to $150 million annually and significantly impact worker retention, particularly in rural areas where wages are lower. Create a Business and Infrastructure Roundtable for Collaborative Economic Planning Indiana’s economic development initiatives require more direct feedback from a broad spectrum of businesses and the inclusion of critical infrastructure concerns, such as water or energy. Establish a quarterly business roundtable with representatives from small, medium, and large businesses across the state and energy, water, and infrastructure experts. Meeting with the governor and lieutenant governor will ensure that state policies reflect the needs of employers of all sizes and regions. Close the Super Abatement Loophole; Automatic New Tax Phase-In Current law allows for 20-year tax abatements in TIF districts, depriving local governments and schools of necessary infrastructure and local services revenues. Eliminate super abatements by capping the length of tax abatements. Introduce a state tax phase-in for all new businesses so that every business, regardless of size, can thrive. This would ensure fairness between large corporations and local companies in critical sectors.

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.

PRESS ROOM < Press Room Jennifer McCormick releases McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Utility Affordability Plan to lower Hoosier utility bills September 19, 2024 Contact: Kelly Wittman, (317) 450-5711 McCormick for Governor press@mccormickforgov.com NEW CASTLE, Ind.— Today, Indiana gubernatorial nominee Jennifer McCormick announced her Commonsense Utility Affordability Plan to address rising utility costs hurting Hoosiers across the state. “Indiana families are struggling with soaring utility bills while utility monopolies continue to use ratepayer dollars to influence policy in their favor,” said McCormick. “Our plan restores balance by prioritizing Hoosiers over utilities and will bring fairness back to our utility system.” The McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Utility Affordability Plan focuses on four key reforms to lower utility bills and protect consumers: 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. 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. “We’re putting Hoosiers first by restoring fairness and transparency to our utility system,” added McCormick. “It’s time to stand up to the monopolistic utilities and ensure every Hoosier can afford their electricity bills.” ### 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. 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.
