KERRY’S PRIORITIES

Public Safety
Kerry Forestal has dedicated his life to public safety, and he knows that safe neighborhoods are the foundation of strong communities. In the State Senate, he will make sure law enforcement and first responders have the training, staffing, and tools they need, while investing in proven strategies that stop crime before it starts.

Strong Local Schools
Every child deserves a great education, no matter their ZIP code. Kerry will work to make sure our schools have the resources they need, that good teachers are supported and kept in the classroom, and that students graduate ready for college, the military, or a good-paying career.

Lower Health Care Costs
Too many families are being squeezed by the rising cost of health care and prescription drugs. Kerry will work to bring down costs, increase transparency, and protect access to care so Hoosiers do not have to choose between their health and paying the bills.

Affordable Child Care
When parents cannot find or afford child care, families struggle and employers lose good workers. Kerry will support practical solutions that expand access to quality, affordable child care so parents can stay on the job and Indiana’s economy can keep growing.

Lower Utility Bills
Hoosier families and small businesses should not be stuck paying the price for rate hikes they had no say in. Kerry will push for stronger oversight of utility companies and a fairer process so Hoosiers get reliable service at a reasonable price.

Housing Hoosiers Can Afford
The cost of housing is too high. Kerry will support commonsense solutions that cut red tape, expand attainable housing, and keep our communities strong and stable.

Workers and Families
Kerry believes hard work should pay off. He will stand up for working people and small businesses, not powerful special interests, and support policies that help families build a secure future right here in Indiana.

Common Sense Over Partisan Politics
Hoosiers are tired of politicians who care more about scoring partisan points than solving problems. Kerry will be an independent voice at the Statehouse who works with anyone willing to get results, speaks up when politics gets in the way, and always puts the people of his district first.
