FULLY FUND PUBLIC EDUCATION

For the past three years, Nick has worked as an education advocate to help children get the resources they need to graduate high school, obtain GEDs and attend college.

MAKE LIFE MORE AFFORDABLE

DEFEND AND EXPAND HEALTHCARE ACCESS

When Nick was 12 years old, he had to have heart surgery. With his foster mother sitting beside his bed and singing to him, he was able to make a full recovery within a year. Without access to this life saving care, and the people who cared for him, things could have turned out a lot differently. Nick believes eveyrone deserves access to the care they need, because everyone Hoosier life is valuable to someone.

As your state senator, Nick will work to:
- Return those tax dollars lost from SB1 back to local governments, without raising taxes
-Make necessary updates to our state's D.A.R.E Program, as well as supporting law enforcement’s efforts to keep drugs off our streets and away from our children

- End the rampant corruption and unconstitutional practices in Clark County and by ICE
