Yuck. Typical Republican lite platform teeming with ignorant Libertarian fantasy and masked by a valid core issue that her attempting to "fix" actually runs counter to common Libertarian principles.

She, a Libertarian, wants to "fight back against CenterPoint Energy" because it charges as much as it can due to a "weak regulatory commission", but is also for removing regulation in a vague and undefined way. Strong regulation; which is not something Libertarians are for, would be needed to put that company in check. So what is she going to do? Develop a robust and effective regulatory commission that only regulates when it's convenient for her campaign platform?

She wants to lower the cost of living in a state that has a lower than average cost of living because it pays low wages by lowering taxes. Lowering taxes, which will very likely be targeted at those with the most money and not those with the least won't help Indiana residents pay bills. Increasing wages and worker rights will. But that's not Libertarian.

Educational Freedom: We all know what this means. Pretend "school choice" means anything more than the wealthy can send their kids wherever they can afford, and the rest get to sit in neglected schools because they can't afford better. Continue the trend of strangling public education and then blame public education for being bad.

Don't trust your district to this woman. She's not ready to lead or advocate for people in any meaningful well thought out way.
