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 “Hoosiers have made it clear—they support adult-use cannabis and are frustrated by Indiana’s outdated prohibition laws,” said McCormick.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.

Fact Sheet: McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Cannabis Legalization Plan The McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Cannabis Plan will immediately begin a pathway to adult use cannabis in Indiana but avoid the pitfalls states have experienced without having an intermediate medical market. 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.

Cannabis Facts In 2022, the Tax Foundation estimated Indiana could realize $172 million in potential annual tax revenue by legalizing adult use cannabis. 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 .

All Hoosiers deserve reliable and affordable utilities that provide beneficial services to our communities and environment. 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.

All Hoosiers deserve access to a fully funded, world-class education system. World-Class Local Schools < Issues Knowledge and learning are essential to the preservation of a free government, per the Indiana Constitution. 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. See Jennifer McCormick’s Commonsense Education Plan > We will protect the rights of students and parents by holding all schools that receive public tax dollars accountable for their spending by ensuring operational transparency. We will recognize the continuum of education and invest in all levels of the educational journey. An emphasis will be placed on completing the expansion of statewide quality and affordable childcare as well as solidifying universal PreK. We will protect instructional time by fighting to eliminate excessive state-mandated testing. We will establish a culture of collaboration across state agencies that serve children and families for efficient and effective spending and programming. We will establish an expansive plan for addressing Indiana‘s PreK-3 literacy rate by focusing on foundational milestone programs, including birth to age 3. We will grow local partnerships to ensure our kids have state-wide opportunities that address academic and behavioral needs. We will establish an ambitious school attendance program for PreK-12 students, empowering schools and community partners while holding families accountable. We will appoint a Secretary of Education and members of the State Board of Education who champion public education, understand the impact of post-COVID complexities, grant our local schools autonomy, and embrace research. We will serve as an outspoken advocate for the importance of a world-class education. We will call for a school funding formula that provides adequate and equitable funding for our most vulnerable students. We will call for a pause in the expansion of school privatization efforts while requiring fiscal and academic accountability and transparency for all of Indiana schools that receive public tax dollars. We will celebrate, champion, protect, and better fund our higher education institutions and our direct workforce development training programs. We will ensure our K-12 system plays an advanced role in career counseling by identifying and funding qualified personnel and the resources necessary to make our career counseling programs robust and effective across the state. We will champion our PreK-12 teachers and post high school instructors by implementing policies to recruit and retain the best, brightest, and most diverse educators. We will call for school funding to secure a minimum base salary of $60,000 for PreK-12 educators, and adjust veteran teacher salaries to reflect their non-educator peers. We will protect university tenure, and work to uphold teacher rights by protecting the ability of teacher unions to bargain for wages and benefits.

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.

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.

All Hoosiers deserve to thrive in an environment enriched by the natural beauty of our state. Environmental Protections < Issues All Hoosiers deserve to thrive in a healthy environment enriched by the natural beauty of our great state. We will create an Office of Environmental Justice within the Department of Environmental Management to build partnerships through outreach efforts and promote meaningful involvement of all Hoosiers in the environmental decision-making process. We will promote policies that protect our wetlands, water, air, soil, recreational forests, and wildlife and fight against policies that result in their devastation, leading to unhealthy Hoosiers and communities. We will create and implement an overall water management plan, including local control of water resources. We will demand accountability and transparency of the environmental impact of economic development efforts, including that of the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC). In doing so, I will call for a pause in the LEAP project as well as the southern Indiana Mid-States Corridor Project in order to audit the totality of the projects. We will join the bipartisan group of governors in the U.S. Climate Alliance to further encourage the adoption of renewable energy sources and incentivize green technology innovation while creating green jobs. We will uphold protections on the ownership and stewardship of our farmland against foreign adversaries. 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.
