“Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office? Working families are being crushed by low wages, rising costs, and widening inequality. No one should work full-time and still struggle to survive when we can advocate for affordable housing, childcare support, and healthcare access. Communities deserve infrastructure that supports growth, safety, and opportunity. We need real solutions—not political posturing. I will champion long-term investment in community infrastructure. Government should support people, not control their private lives or undermine public institutions. Freedom means autonomy, respect, and opportunity for everyone.” • Candace Schutt - Ballotpedia

“Does he miss debates? McMaster also weighed in on S. 922 , legislation passed by the Senate mainly dealing with gubernatorial appointments but a bill that also would effectively fire his pick to lead the state public health department, Dr. Edward Simmer. Simmer, who previously was the director over the former health and environmental department, has been serving public health as an interim director ever since the former agency was split into two. The Senate Medical Affairs Committee declined to move his nomination forward last year, and in March the Senate passed legislation giving Simmer his final day of May 14, the last day of session. McMaster has continuously stood by his nominee, as recently to reporters as Tuesday. “I think the criticism of him is inaccurate. I think he's done a good job, and his time under the present law will be up sometime in the fall anyway," McMaster said. "I think this is unnecessary.””

“Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office? Working families are being crushed by low wages, rising costs, and widening inequality.
