Data Centers, and Who Gets Told Before the Permit Is Signed
The EPA has proposed dropping the rule that requires states to publish air pollution permit applications and take public comment before construction starts. That puts the question in Indianapolis.
Forty-Five in Huntingburg, and the Best Conversation Yet
The question that took over the room: what skills do our elected leaders actually need now? People disagreed with each other and nobody got talked over. That is the whole point of these.
$14 Million in Spencer County Road Projects, Eliminated
Pavement on SR 66. Roundabouts. A bridge deck over Blackhawk Creek. Even striping on rural roads. All of it was on INDOT’s books, and all of it is gone.

Before I asked for a single vote, I spent two years doing the work: commissioning professional polls, organizing town halls, presenting data to county councils, and holding officials accountable. The Mid-States Corridor fight proved what constituent-first representation looks like. Now I’m bringing that same approach to every issue that matters to District 48.
This campaign runs on people, not PACs. Every dollar and every door knock makes a difference.

I'm not against data centers. I'm against you being handed the bill. Pay your own way in full, bring more power than you take, or build somewhere else.
Our roads, bridges, and broadband need real investment, not political pet projects. Decisions belong to the people who live here, and data should drive where every dollar goes.
Young families can't stay if there's nowhere to live. We need housing policy that builds communities, not just developments.
I'm a small business owner. I know what it takes. We need to keep young people here with real opportunity, not empty promises.
Your Community, Your Say is my rule for representing you: publish the facts, find the people most affected, ask them before the vote, and remain accountable for the result.
I was born in Dubois County and grew up in Jasper. I left in December 2010 for Chicago, to be with the woman I'd marry, and I came home in September 2023 to put down roots for good. In late December 2024, Maggie and I bought what we thought would be our forever home. That January, we learned it sits in the study area for a billion-dollar highway. The realtor knew. The brokerage knew. The city, the county, and the state knew. Nobody told us.
What got me involved wasn't the house. It was what I found when I started asking questions: a project the people paying for it didn't want, nobody who could say what we would actually get for the money, plenty of upside for insiders, and elected officials determined to ram it through without listening. So I did what I do for a living and pulled the data. A professional poll of 636 registered voters found that 81% of Dubois County opposed it. I organized 10 Mid-States Corridor town halls, presented the numbers, and asked for a vote. This was never really about one highway. It's about who this government actually works for.
