Dr. Hartig is committed to bringing a fresh perspective and ideas to ensure we achieve meaningful, lasting improvements for all Hoosiers.
Reproductive Freedoms
Dr. Hartig stands firmly for reproductive freedoms, advocating for the right of individuals to make private health decisions without government interference. Access to comprehensive reproductive healthcare, including contraception and safe, legal abortion, is essential for the well-being and autonomy of all.
Public Schools and Education Funding
One of the biggest attractions of Noblesville is its wonderful public schools. As a college professor, Dr. Hartig knows firsthand the importance of quality education. He is dedicated to protecting funding for public schools, ensuring that every child has access to excellent educational opportunities. By investing in our public schools, we can support teachers and provide students with the resources they need to succeed.
Additionally, Dr. Hartig is committed to protecting teacher tenure, recognizing it as a vital safeguard for academic freedom and the quality of education in our public schools. By allowing educators to teach without fear of unjust dismissal, we not only retain experienced and passionate teachers but also uphold a learning environment where the best ideas can flourish.
LGBTQ+ Champion
Dr. Hartig is a proud champion of LGBTQ+ rights. He believes in equity and justice for all, advocating for policies that protect against discrimination and support the LGBTQ+ community. Everyone deserves to live with dignity and respect, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
Healthcare for all Hoosiers
Dr. Hartig is committed to fighting so that every Hoosier has access to affordable, high-quality care. Some key aspect’s of his healthcare platform include: lowering prescription drug costs, increasing access to mental health and addiction services, increasing access to prenatal and postnatal care in underserved areas to help improve maternal and infant health outcomes, environmental policy to protect our air and water, promoting the importance of vaccinations and immunizations for public health, and complete bodily autonomy.

Legalizing Cannabis

Legalizing medical cannabis can offer relief to many Hoosiers and reduce reliance on opioids and other prescription medications.
Additionally, he believes that the decision to legalize recreational cannabis should be left to the voters through a ballot initiative or referendum, allowing the people of Indiana to directly voice their opinion on this important issue.

He understands that unions play a critical role in negotiating better healthcare, retirement plans, and paid leave, contributing to a more stable and prosperous workforce.
Environment
Protecting our environment is crucial for the health and prosperity of future generations. Dr. Hartig supports policies that promote clean energy, reduce pollution, and conserve natural resources. By taking bold action on climate change, we can create a sustainable and resilient future. Investing in sustainability creates more jobs and strengthens our local economy, leading to long term economic growth and stability.
