Your Voice in the Statehouse
Kelsey Kauffman is running for Indiana House District 44 because the families of Putnam and Montgomery Counties deserve a representative who shows up, listens, and fights for the things that matter most — strong schools, affordable healthcare, and a fair shake for working people.
Why I'm Running
I am running because voters who oppose the most extreme politics deserve a voice and a name on the ballot that reflects their values. Casting a vote should never feel futile. My candidacy exists so that Hoosiers who are deeply concerned about the direction of our state and country can register that concern clearly and publicly.
This campaign is not about demonizing individuals. It is about policies, values, and consequences — and about speaking plainly rather than spinning positions to win elections. Although many of the most troubling policies we face originate at the federal level, the Indiana General Assembly may be the most important line of defense available to protect Hoosiers from their worst effects. I believe it is worth saying so — out loud, and on the record.
The Issues That Matter
Education
Our local schools are the heart of this community. Kelsey will fight to protect them from Statehouse budget games that put corporate tax breaks ahead of our children.

No family should have to drive an hour to see a doctor. Kelsey will fight to keep our hospitals open, expand mental health services, and protect the care our families depend on.
Read more →Economy and Jobs
We have good jobs in this district. But when hardworking families can't find affordable housing or keep up with rising costs, something is out of balance.
