Payton
Hollie Payton is used to being a strong advocate for those who may otherwise feel voiceless as she had to be the powerful voice for herself and those close to her as a pancreas transplant recipient, and the mother and educator for her son who is on the spectrum for autism. Hollie is dedicated to building her local community up, and representing the people of her district
in the Indiana State House to pass laws that will improve Women’s Rights, Disability Rights, access to housing for all, and laws that support our Public School systems and teachers here in the great State of Indiana.
Martz
“Victoria Martz is a skilled advocate who is experienced at speaking up for the little guy -on the playground or in the classroom in her youth, and now in the courtroom as she represents the criminally charged through her work with the Law Office of Jesse K. Sanchez out of Indianapolis, IN. Victoria wants to bring a vision to life in Indiana’s State House that sees a future pool of representatives in the State Government who act as role models every citizen can look up to for ways to handle disagreement in a way that condones equal dignity and humanity on all. Victoria seeks to pass laws that protect our Environment (natural habitats, water sources, and wildlife), to create Government Accountability measures in our State Constitution, protect our public school systems, properly compensate our educators, and to reduce the everyday costs currently pushing many of our State’s citizens' pocket books beyond their limits.”
Election Day will be held on Tuesday, November 5.
