VOTE to Protect Water

Here are a few quotes from the politicians who want your vote. Please vote to PROTECT our precious water for the PEOPLE of this state.

Candidates for Governor

• Mike Braun, Republican: “Our state has invested too much time and money into the LEAP project to allow it to be jeopardized by the poor communication and lack of collaboration we have seen from state officials surrounding the efforts to secure a sustainable water source to meet the needs of this fast-growing region. Access to a reliable source of water is nothing new for this region of the state, and many other regions are facing similar water challenges, but for far too long, state officials have ignored the obvious need to find a solution that benefits both communities with abundant water resources and those with scarce water resources. As governor, I will focus on delivering affordable and reliable access to utilities for all Hoosiers.”
• Jennifer McCormick, Democrat: “It is short-sighted and irresponsible for leaders to sacrifice one for the advancement of the other," she said. "Strong leaders also understand it is essential to include stakeholders from the onset of such projects with the goal of governing with accountability and transparency. As your next governor, I will demand such an approach to statewide opportunities to avoid foreseen and unforeseen consequences and unnecessary community division.”
• Donald Rainwater, Libertarian: "I believe that the IEDC has been moving forward with the LEAP District Project in Boone County and specifically with the water pipeline planning prematurely and without truly minimizing the impact and cost to the taxpayers, landowners, and residents affected by this project," he said. "In a state government of the people, by the people, and for the people, 'We, the People,' must always take precedence over corporate-centric economic development."
