THE TIME IS NOW
A Message from Carl:
"You know what we do in Indiana? We build really cool things. In Elkhart County, we are home to some of the country's most recognizable brands across multiple industries, and we build it all with pride. It's perhaps this region's great legacy that when industry and innovation come knocking, we always seem to step up. Whether it’s fire hose nozzles or toy haulers, our continued purpose has been to build a diverse community in which we all can thrive.
It is therefore unfortunate that neither that pride nor work ethic seems to be reflected in our local leadership. Indiana has been under Republican majority or supermajority control for the past two decades, and the effects are starting to show. You needn't look further than the federal push for mid-decade redistricting in Indiana as proof that voters' wants are no longer a Republican priority.
Does it really feel right that roughly $1.5 billion of Hoosier taxpayer money has been pumped into private schools through vouchers, with another billion approved? Does it feel right that our millionaire governor charged taxpayers for his own private helicopter pad? Does it feel right that Hoosiers face record high utility bills while data centers are trying to move in? It shouldn't.
So it's time for us to build back better. It may be naive, but in a community that’s survived together for this long...through layoffs and recessions, natural disasters, and cultural change...I believe the things that separate us are not that big, and together we can build the best Indiana. As your candidate, Carl Stutsman, I am committed to making this vision a reality."
The Issues
Public Schools Deserve Public Dollars
Public Schools Deserve Public Dollars
Indiana's Super Majority has managed to funnel nearly $1.5 billion into private education through vouchers over the last three years. Meanwhile, public schools have lost vital funding at the state and federal level. This has disproportionately affected working and middle-class communities, benefiting the GOP's wealthiest donors. As a candidate, Carl Stutsman believes that public schools are our #1 community resource and shouldn't be treated as second-class learning institutions by our leaders. We understand the challenges faced by parents of school-age children, especially those with special needs. These resources are vital for working-class families with limited resources. We need to keep public dollars in public schools and re-fund what should be our most treasured asset.
Where'd the money go?
Public Schools Deserve Public Dollars
It's interesting that the party of small government and lower taxes has found ways to increase their own influence and require more of your money every year. As Hoosiers, we take pride in our hard work, and we want to see those dollars benefiting our own backyards. We don't want funding for a private helipad for the Governor, covering mounting legal fees for our attorney general, or giving tax breaks to the wealthy. As we approach the upcoming elections in Indiana, it’s crucial that we support candidates like Carl Stutsman who prioritize our communities. Your property bill is higher, your utility bills are higher, your grocery bill is higher, your paycheck feels smaller, and the most vulnerable among us are more at risk than ever.
Protect Your Voice
Protect Your Voice
Our government either works for all of us or none of us, and our voice is your vote. This issue isn't exclusive to Indiana, and just because they aren't physically stopping you from voting doesn't mean your voice isn't being taken away.
Indiana continues to operate without independent redistricting, which has allowed the party to redraw lines repeatedly to maintain majority control. We only narrowly survived the late 2025 redistricting push, with key GOP players in Indiana, including Candidate Carl Stutsman, chastising their colleagues for finally doing what was right.
In 2026, we will need historic mid-term turnout to end the GOP supermajority and combat efforts that aim to silence Hoosiers who are fed up with the status quo.
