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 < 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.

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 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.

These endorsements are based on voting records and questionnaire responses issued to all candidates. Affiliates of the Indiana AFL-CIO reviewed this information and voted for the candidates they think best embody the labor movement’s values. “The working families of Indiana deserve candidates up and down the ballot that will fight for them at every turn,” said Indiana AFL-CIO President Brett Voorhies. “After careful deliberation by our affiliates, we believe these individuals will uphold our values when in office, and aggressively work towards legislation that is pro-worker.” The Indiana AFL-CIO makes endorsements for state and federal candidates. These endorsements and recommendations are voted on by the statewide Committee on Political Education (COPE), made up of representatives from all affiliated unions, statewide councils and regional AFL-CIO organizations. This ensures that the full diversity of the labor movement and regional diversity of Indiana is reflected in the process. The Indiana AFL-CIO seeks to educate, engage and mobilize the more than three hundred thousand union families on issues, candidates and policies that protect and support working Hoosiers. With members in all areas of the state, the Indiana AFL-CIO uses member-to-member contact at the worksite or home, direct mail, social media, rallies and public events to ensure working families receive information crucial to making decisions concerning elections and laws that affect their everyday lives.
