I’m Jonathan Katz, and I’m running for Indiana House District 100.
I’m a husband and a father who is tired of seeing our Indiana legislature working solely for the benefit of the few instead of the benefit of all. Now, compared to 10 years ago, Hoosiers are more likely to be hungry, impoverished, and have filed for bankruptcy. In many cases we’re working more hours for less pay; our job base has decreased and our wages are less competitive. Indiana is and has been a national leader in the number of home foreclosures. As a state we’ve been bombarded with catchy slogans like accountability, education reform, and fiscal responsibility, but have little public progress to show for it. Public schools and state workers have been villainized, while our existing leadership works to diminish the rights of fellow citizens, illegally de-fund public health programs, and waters-down any attempt to reform ethics.
It’s time to stand up for citizens regardless of race, religion, creed, sexual orientation or identity.
Our state house has not delved into the world of compromise. Instead, career politicians from both parties have worked to undermine one another and focus solely on ideological agendas. Their business is the people’s business, and that is working to make Indiana better.
I believe in common sense solutions and compromises to some of our most divisive issues, and I hope that you will join me along this journey.
I want to hear from you!What issues do you think are important in District 100 or at the State Level? Thank you!
