House Enrolled Act 1002 reduces Indiana's K-12 education regulations by nearly 10% to give local schools more flexibility and control over education decisions. It repeals unnecessary bureaucracy and mandates, giving schools and educators more time to focus on delivering results for our students.

Indiana farmland is one of the greatest assets of our state and plays a critical role in feeding our nation. Supporting Hoosier farmers and representing our rural communities are among my top priorities as your state representative. The General Assembly has taken efforts in recent years to protect our farmlands and bolster Hoosier agriculture. One of the ways we've done this is by establishing barriers against foreign adversaries owning our farmland.
