INDIANAPOLIS — After releasing its plans on topics like marijuana , education and property taxes , the Jennifer McCormick/Terry Goodin gubernatorial campaign released its “common sense” utility affordability plan, aimed at lowering utility bills for Indiana residents.
McCormick, Indiana’s former state superintendent for public instruction, and Goodin, a former state lawmaker and educator, make up the Democratic ticket in November’s race for Indiana governor. They will face U.S. Senator Mike Braun (R-Ind.) and Micah Beckwith on the Republican side as well as Donald Rainwater and Tonya Hudson on the Libertarian side.
McCormick said in a news release unveiling the plan that the campaign wants to address rising utility costs that are hurting Hoosiers across the state.
“Indiana families are struggling with soaring utility bills while utility monopolies continue to use ratepayer dollars to influence policy in their favor,” McCormick said in the release. “Our plan restores balance by prioritizing Hoosiers over utilities and will bring fairness back to our utility system.”
