  • Jennifer McCormick releases McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Cannabis Legalization Plan | Jennifer McCormick for Governor

    PRESS ROOM < Press Room Jennifer McCormick releases McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Cannabis Legalization Plan September 11, 2024 Contact: Kelly Wittman, (317) 450-5711 McCormick for Governor press@mccormickforgov.com NEW CASTLE, Ind.— Today, Indiana gubernatorial nominee Jennifer McCormick unveiled her Commonsense Cannabis Legalization Plan, which would legalize adult use of cannabis in Indiana in a responsible and well regulated industry. This plan begins with the establishment of a medical marijuana industry, setting the foundation for a transition to full adult-use cannabis. “Hoosiers have made it clear—they support adult-use cannabis and are frustrated by Indiana’s outdated prohibition laws,” said McCormick. “Our plan takes a commonsense approach by first introducing a well-regulated medical marijuana industry, allowing us to address potential regulatory challenges and ensure a smooth transition to well-regulated and legal adult-use cannabis.” The McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Cannabis Plan includes the following key components: Establishing the Indiana Cannabis Commission: The plan will create the Indiana Cannabis Commission, which will be responsible for overseeing the legal cannabis industry, including regulation, licensing, and ensuring compliance with safety standards. This independent body will help Indiana develop a well-regulated cannabis market, protecting Hoosiers and ensuring transparency as the state transitions to full legalization. Establishing a Medical Marijuana Industry: The plan calls for the immediate creation of a regulated medical marijuana industry, providing Hoosiers with access to cannabis for medical purposes. This step will allow Indiana to address potential challenges and learn from the experiences of other states before moving to full adult use. Transition to Adult-Use Cannabis: While the initial focus is on medical marijuana, the plan outlines a clear pathway toward full adult-use legalization. This phased approach will mitigate system challenges and ensure Indiana’s cannabis market is well-regulated and effective. Regulating Hemp-Derived THC: The plan also addresses the issue of unregulated hemp derived THC products currently flooding Indiana’s gas stations and smoke shops. By regulating these substances, the state will protect consumers and ensure that cannabis products meet safety standards. Economic Benefits: Legalizing adult-use cannabis could generate an estimated $172 million annually in tax revenues for Indiana, providing a significant boost to the state’s economy and funding for essential services. “Indiana is an island of prohibition surrounded by states with legal cannabis industries,” added McCormick. “By taking a responsible, phased approach, we can ensure that our state is prepared for full adult-use legalization while immediately providing relief through medical marijuana.” ### About Jennifer McCormick: Jennifer McCormick is a lifelong educator and fifth-generation Hoosier from New Castle, Indiana.

Industry analyst Vangst reported there were 440,445 full time jobs supported by cannabis in the United States. Forbes reported a study forecasting the US cannabis industry would grow to $46 billion by 2028. Missouri had $1 billion in sales in their first year of regulated adult sales. Whitney Economics study reported hemp-derived cannabis employs 11,017 workers in Indiana. Hemp-derived cannabis sales in Indiana has a total economic impact of $1.78 billion with retail sales of $637 million according to a Whitney Economics study .

Sustainable Energy < Issues All Hoosiers deserve reliable and affordable utilities that provide beneficial services to our communities and environment. See Jennifer McCormick’s Commonsense Utility Affordability Plan > We will call for a pause in extreme utility rate increases by appointing an Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) who will audit any excessive rate increases. We will seek input from locally-elected officials on the recommendations brought forth to the IURC. We will work to decrease Hoosiers’ energy expenses by vetoing bills that eliminate competition for utility and appoint IURC members who work for everyday Hoosiers rather than for the investor-owned utilities. We will hold utility companies accountable for transparent and honest data used for their increased rate recommendations. We will support the further transition and expansion of renewable and clean energy for Hoosier citizens and businesses by investing in locally-driven energy practices.

As a lifelong educator, I recognize the importance of a high quality education for students, parents, communities, and our state as well as the broader society. We must collectively invest in our kids, educators, and communities to ensure Hoosiers are set up for success.

  • Commonsense Utility Affordability Plan | Jennifer McCormick for Governor

    Fact Sheet: McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Utility Affordability Plan The McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Utility Affordability Plan will provide utility bill relief by restoring net metering to Indiana, prohibiting misuse of ratepayer dollars, and prioritizing ratepayer advocates at the IURC. The plan also calls for restoring the Daniels’ era Energizing Indiana energy efficiency goals to lower energy consumption and reduce energy bills for Hoosiers. The McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Utility Affordability Plan has four mechanisms to provide significant relief for Hoosiers: Restoring Net Metering: The plan will reinstate net metering in Indiana, allowing Hoosiers to sell electricity back to the grid at the same rate they purchase energy from it. This change will foster competition, reduce utility costs, increase energy generation, and encourage the adoption of renewable energy. Mike Braun voted to eliminate net metering. Prohibiting Misuse of Ratepayer Dollars: The plan will ban utilities from using ratepayer dollars for lobbying, advertising, trade association dues, and political contributions. This will ensure that utility companies can no longer use funds meant for services to increase their profits at the expense of consumers. Prioritizing Ratepayer Advocates in the IURC: McCormick-Goodin will appoint leaders to the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) who are committed to advocating for ratepayers, ensuring that the commission operates to apply the same competitive pressure that would exist if utilities were not statutorily protected monopolies. Lowering Utility Bills by Investing in Energy Efficiency: The McCormick-Goodin administration will reinstate Mitch Daniels’ era Energizing Indiana energy efficiency program to reduce energy consumption and lower Hoosiers‘ monthly energy bills. Historic Rates Utility Average Bill at 1,000 kWh/mo in 2004 Average Bill at 1,000 kWh/mo in 2010 Average Bill at 1,000 kWh/mo in 2023 I&M (AEP) $68.34 $81.45 $147.38 NIPSCO $91.55 $105.55 $156.44 AES $68.92 $85.75 $126.31 CenterPoint $87.54 $132.65 $165.00 Duke $79.20 $96.30 $128.79 STAY INFORMED First name* Last name* Email* Phone (no dashes) By providing your mobile phone number you consent to receive recurring automated text messages from the McCormick for Governor campaign.

  • Reproductive Rights and Freedoms | Jennifer McCormick for Governor

    All Hoosiers should be empowered and entrusted to make their own healthcare decisions without government interference. Reproductive Rights and Freedoms < Issues Indiana’s Republican-led extreme abortion ban has taken away the right of women to make deeply personal decisions regarding their own healthcare. Government action should not compromise the health of its citizens or severely limit opportunities to reach their full potential. See Jennifer McCormick’s Commonsense Abortion Rights Plan > We will fight for reproductive rights and freedoms, including restoring those rights and freedoms recently lost. We will examine all potential paths to a constitutional amendment that restores access to abortion services and a promise to veto any bill that further limits the rights and liberties of women throughout our state. We will also work to expand Medicaid programs and provide greater flexibility for family medical leave so that basic health and childcare needs of Hoosiers are met. We will appoint Indiana Supreme Court justices who believe in upholding reproductive rights and freedoms. We will work to create a state where healthcare providers are respected and protected in order to attract and retain the best and brightest in all corners of the state. We will work to provide state-wide access to maternal health services, addressing our state’s 25 counties deemed “maternity care deserts” while understanding 30% of our counties are without an OB-GYN. We will fight for Hoosiers access to comprehensive contraceptive care and contraceptive methods. We will protect IVF treatments and access to contraception, empowering personal family planning.
