“Grant, Huntington, and Wabash Counties are deeply rooted in agriculture. In our community, farming is a way of life that shapes character, strengthens families, and serves as the backbone of our local economy.” (Campaign website)
“That means standing strongly against bad-faith large-scale industrial projects including solar, wind, and carbon sequestration projects to ensure they do not undermine property values, local decision-making, or destroy the long-term vitality of our agricultural economy. Growth should strengthen rural Indiana, not threaten our way of life.” (Campaign website)
