It’s All About Perspective…What Do We See?
Mondays with Michelle - May 13, 2024

Recently, a friend sent me the above image showing seemingly different shapes projected on a wall. However, they are part of a single solid image that neither projection fully represents. While the aspect of the wall projections is individually true,  the perspective must change to see the full truth of the image.

Midwest Nice Legislative Stamp of Approval - Mondays with Michelle 5/6/24

By michelle

The other day, I talked to voters about why investing in a campaign like mine matters. You see, my district, Indiana House District 60, comprises bedroom communities, rural spaces, and one county seat. I keep explaining to people: two precincts in Monroe Co., 13 precincts in Johnson Co., and 33 precincts in Morgan Co. That helps them place where I am on a map. And then they nod and say, “Wow. Tough campaign.”

Indiana Right to Life - Survey Response

After I filed as a candidate to run for Indiana House District 60, I started receiving surveys from various political organizations eager to vet candidates on their specific issues. The survey deadlines vary, and this one demanded a response by March 1st, 2024. I contacted Indiana Right to Life on February 21st, 2024, asking for citations to specific legislation that they reference, but it is now March 1st, and I have received no response. So here are my comments for your public review.
