Hoosier working families are best served by Taxpayer Friendly state legislators who are results-oriented, compassionate, and fiscally conservative.

Taxpayer UNfriendly state legislators believe the greatest good is served when the fist of government is deep in the wallet of ordinary working families.

Some state legislators have an Uncertain rating because of a limited or mixed public record.
