“Last night’s results are a clear signal that Hoosiers are rejecting high-tax policies that limit opportunity and are instead backing leaders focused on lowering costs and delivering real results. Voters made it clear they are done with policies that protect systems over students and families. 

“Across the state, voters are focused on the issues that directly impact their daily lives, affordability, cost of living, and access to better opportunities for their families. These victories reflect a growing demand for practical, commonsense solutions and a path forward that puts Hoosiers first. Hoosiers are choosing opportunity over obstruction.”
