  • Jennifer McCormick releases commonsense property tax relief plan | Jennifer McCormick for Governor

    PRESS ROOM < Press Room Jennifer McCormick releases Commonsense Property Tax Relief Plan August 15, 2024 Contact: Kelly Wittman, (317) 450-5711 McCormick for Governor press@mccormickforgov.com NEW CASTLE, Ind.— Today, Indiana gubernatorial nominee Jennifer McCormick released her commonsense, responsible plan to provide property tax relief to every Hoosier, with targeted relief to those who need it most without cutting essential police, fire, and school services to Hoosiers. “Many Hoosiers are struggling to keep up with rising property taxes driven by increased assessed values. Senior citizens, those on fixed incomes, veterans, and working families deserve relief,” said McCormick. “Our commonsense plan helps those feeling the pain of property taxes without raiding critical funding that supports our local communities, schools, libraries, police, and fire departments.” The McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Property Tax Relief Plan is a multifaceted approach to put more money in Hoosiers’ pockets. The plan calls for capping the increase in property tax bills at 10%, increasing the homeowner property tax deduction by 40%, increasing personal exemptions by 150%, and increasing the renters tax deduction by 33%. These steps will ease the burden of rising property tax rates while creating time for a holistic look at Indiana government funding. “Mike Braun’s plan is unserious, reckless, and fiscally irresponsible. Leave it to a D.C. politician like Mike Braun to promise tax cuts that won’t come out of the state budget or impact state spending,” added McCormick. “The state can provide property tax relief now for those who need it while finding a long term solution to address local funding needs. It is simply a question of budget priorities. As a State Representative, Mike Braun voted for higher property taxes [ 1] when he had the chance to put Hoosiers first. I will always put Hoosiers first and support our local communities.” ### [ 1] Indiana General Assembly, H.B. 1476, Vote 265, 2/25/2015 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. Message & Data Rates May Apply. Text STOP to opt-out. See our Privacy Policy . SEND ME UPDATES Fact Sheet: McCormick Commonsense Property Tax Relief Plan The McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Property Tax Relief Plan will provide property tax relief by increasing tax credits for senior citizens, veterans and low income Hoosier families in 2025 and 2026. The plan also calls for increasing tax exemptions for renters and capping yearly property tax increases at ten percent. The McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Property Tax Relief Plan has six mechanisms to provide significant relief for Hoosiers: 40% Increase in the Homeowner Property Tax Deduction: Increase the maximum homeowner property tax deduction from $2,500 to $3,500. The Indiana Legislative Services Agency last year estimated this would be an $8.8 million savings to eligible homeowners starting 2025. Expand Deductions for Senior Citizens: Expand property tax deductions by increasing the income threshold for senior citizens over 65 years making up to $40,000 for individuals and $50,000 for households with joint returns and assessed value of real property up to $300,000. Currently, the income threshold for senior citizens is $30,000 for individuals and $40,000 for households with joint returns and assessed value of real property up to $200,000. In 2022, the Indiana Legislative Services Agency estimated this would cost approximately $14.7 to $21.8 million per year. Expand Deduction for Disabled Veterans: Increases the cap on assessed value from $240,000 to $350,000 to expand qualifications for disabled veterans (total disability or at least age 62 with at least 10% disability). The Indiana Legislative Services Agency last year estimated this would cost approximately $6.8 million per year. 150% Increase in Exemptions on Personal Income: Increase the amount of exemptions on state and local income taxes from $1,000 to $2,500. The Indiana Legislative Services Agency last year estimated this would result in approximately $500 million in savings to taxpayers, including the elderly and blind ($333 million of savings in state income taxes and $173 million of savings in local income taxes). Cap Property Tax Bill Increases at 10%: Individual homestead owners will receive a refundable tax credit to offset property tax increases if their property tax bill grows more than 10% compared to the prior year (excluding schools’ passed referendums). This policy will effectively cap the growth of property tax bills at no more than 10% annually. In 2022, the Indiana Legislative Services Agency estimated this would result in approximately $23.5 million of savings to individual homestead owners starting Calendar Year 2024, and $7 million in each subsequent year. 33% Increase in Renters Tax Deduction: Increase the renter’s income tax deduction from $3,000 per year to $4,000 per year. The Indiana Legislative Services Agency last year estimated this would cost approximately $28 million per year.

  • About | Jennifer McCormick for Governor

    Jennifer McCormick is a lifelong educator and Indiana native committed to building a state where everyone has the opportunity to succeed. Growing up on a small family farm in New Castle, Indiana, Jennifer witnessed the opportunities and challenges facing Indiana. Her community was full of spirit and support, and the public school was the community’s front porch. Neighborhoods were filled with kids, and families had an opportunity to thrive. Yet, as high-paying jobs left her community, she saw families, small businesses, schools, and local infrastructure suffer. It was during these times that Jennifer also witnessed the resilience of Hoosiers. Her dad, an engineer by trade, and her mom, a retail store manager, instilled in Jennifer the importance of public service, empowering others, and excellence in hard work. It became evident that true public service required an approach of bringing all voices to the table, respecting others and ensuring no one was left behind. Jennifer and her husband, Trent, have one son, a West Point graduate and a member of the United States Army. She earned her B.A. from Purdue, M.A. from Ball State and an Ed.S. and Ph.D. from Indiana State. Jennifer McCormick is a lifelong educator and Indiana native committed to building a state where everyone has the opportunity to succeed. 44th Superintendent of Public Instruction Proud military mom Proven leader for Governor Pledging to put Hoosiers first ABOUT JENNIFER Proven Leader for Governor Proud military mom 44th Superintendent of Public Education Pledging to put Hoosiers first Jennifer’s journey and passion for service led her to the classroom where she spent a decade as a special education and language arts teacher before becoming a public school principal and Superintendent for nearly 8 years. Under her leadership, Yorktown Community Schools received national recognition for their academic performance and quality extracurricular opportunities. In 2016, Jennifer successfully ran for State Superintendent of Public Instruction to be a champion for Hoosier kids. She campaigned on empowering students, parents and educators, supporting and guiding schools, and delivering a high-quality public education to every child. As the last elected State Superintendent, she took on politics that were negatively impacting our schools and fought for what was right for kids, teachers, and parents. She protected local control of school districts so that communities could make the best decisions for their own children. Jennifer demonstrated fiscal responsibility by using taxpayer dollars effectively and efficiently while managing over half of Indiana’s state budget. Jennifer’s running for governor of Indiana because she’s tired of the supermajority’s focus on fringe issues that have nothing to do with the challenges everyday Hoosiers are facing. It’s time to stand up to elect a leader that puts Hoosiers first. She will bring common sense and bipartisanship back to the statehouse. Jennifer will stand up to policies that are dismantling public education, stripping Hoosiers of their rights and freedoms, and leaving rural communities behind.

  • McCormick releases McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Ethics Plan | Jennifer McCormick for Governor

    PRESS ROOM Jennifer McCormick Releases McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Abortion Rights Plan McCormick: “This election is a referendum on abortion rights in Indiana.” < Press Room Jennifer McCormick Releases McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Abortion Rights Plan McCormick: “This election is a referendum on abortion rights in Indiana.” October 10, 2024 Contact: Mila Myles, (812) 240-3938 McCormick for Governor press@mccormickforgov.com NEW CASTLE, Ind.— Today, Indiana Democratic gubernatorial nominee Jennifer McCormick reaffirmed her commitment to restoring the rights and freedoms women relied on for 50 years under Roe v. Wade. As Governor, McCormick will fight to ensure that women have the right to an abortion. This standard was long the law of the land before the recent rollback of reproductive rights. "This election is a referendum on abortion rights in Indiana," McCormick said. "I trust women and their healthcare providers to make the best decisions for their health, and it's time we bring common sense and balance back to our state policies." Acknowledging the legislative hurdles, McCormick outlined several executive actions that can be taken to protect reproductive rights and access in Indiana: Direct the Indiana Department of Health to interpret existing laws in a way that maximizes legal access to abortion services. By clarifying regulations, McCormick will work to reduce barriers that clinics and providers face. Reproductive health funding will be prioritized in the state budget to provide reproductive health services — not anti-abortion advocacy. Shift focus from enforcement to compliance assistance for clinics and providers, creating a more supportive regulatory environment. Appoint abortion rights supporters to relevant state boards and commissions, including the Medical Licensing Board, to ensure the state's policy implementation aligns with trusting women and healthcare providers. Fight to protect the privacy of Hoosiers’ medical records from prying government officials, including terminated pregnancy reports. Use the governor’s office as a platform to defend abortion rights and inform Hoosiers of their reproductive freedoms. Additionally, McCormick will push for legislative change to create citizen-led ballot initiatives to allow the people to repeal Indiana’s extreme abortion ban directly. McCormick’s opponents, Mike Braun and Micah Beckwith, support an extreme abortion ban with no exceptions. Their even more extreme ban, if enacted, would prohibit all abortions, even in cases of rape, incest, or when the mother's life is at risk. "The choice in this election is clear," McCormick emphasized. "When I’m elected Governor, the people of Indiana will have spoken loudly and clearly in favor of abortion rights." Jennifer McCormick’s campaign is focused on restoring balance and common sense to Indiana’s government, and protecting women's rights is at the heart of that mission. ### Fact Sheet: McCormick Commonsense Abortion Rights Plan The McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Abortion Rights Plan will protect abortion rights for Hoosiers, even in the absence of legislative action.
