The impact of the elections on Indiana
As the dust settles from this year’s hotly-contested state elections in Indiana, it is clear that the impact of the elections will be felt for years to come.
One of the most important issues that were highlighted during the elections was healthcare. Indiana was one of the states that voted against the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and as a result, many people in the state lack access to affordable health insurance.
The elections also saw a number of new state senators appointed, who will now have a big role to play in shaping Indiana’s future.
One of these new state senators is Democrat Tim Lanane. Lanane is a former mayor of Fort Wayne, and he has been vocal about his plans to improve healthcare in Indiana. He believes that Obamacare needs to be repealed and replaced with something more affordable and tailored to Indiana’s unique needs.
Lanane is just one example of the impact that the elections will have on Indiana’s future. The new state senators will now have a chance to make their mark on key issues such as healthcare, taxation, and education.
What to watch for in the election
There are a few key things to watch for in the upcoming Indiana state senate election. One of the most important is who will win control of the chamber.
If the Republicans win control, they will be able to pass some important bills. These bills could include measures that would limit abortion access and increase the number of guns in public places. They may also attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which would cause a lot of people who have insurance through the ACA to lose their coverage.
If the Democrats win control, they will be able to block many of the Republican’s proposals. This includes bills that would restrict abortion access and increase the number of guns in public places. They may also try to pass legislation that would create new jobs in Indiana.
The election is scheduled for November 3rd. You can find more information about the candidates and the election at https://in.gov/sos/elections/general/index.html#elec
