June 6th, 2024 - Indiana Public Broadcasting: New high school diploma proposal sparks discussion among state officials, community

“Part of the solution must be to introduce academic success advisors for middle and high school students,” said Michelle Higgs, a community member and former PTA president. Higgs is also running as a Democrat to represent Indiana House District 60 in the November election.

“In college, most students have an undergraduate advisor who helps them chart academic progress, supports them with resources and helps them make informed decisions that allow for flexibility, even changing goals midway through. That same support must be available for Hoosier middle and high school students.”

May 29, 2024 - Michelle Higgs Pledges to Support Congressional Term Limits

Martinsville, IN – U.S. Term Limits (USTL), the leader in the national, non-partisan movement to limit terms for elected officials, is gathering support from state lawmakers across the nation. Its mission is to get 34 states to apply for an amendment proposal convention specific to term limits on Congress. Indiana state house candidate, Michelle Higgs (District 60), has committed support for term limits on Congress by signing the Term Limits Convention Pledge.

USTL President, Philip Blumel, commented on Higgs’s pledge saying, “Michelle’s strong support of term limits shows that there are individuals who are willing to listen to the majority of voters who want term limits. America needs a Congress that will be served by citizen legislators, not career politicians.”
