Jerry Torr is out of touch with the values of voters in Carmel and Westfield. His support of the Supermajority’s extremist agenda makes him the wrong choice for Hoosiers.
SUPPORTED: Extreme permitless carry bill that made our communities and our police officers less safe by allowing ANYONE to carry a gun, no license required! 1
“I don’t understand why we want to strip away one of the most effective tools that law enforcement has to prevent avoidable, gun-related events in our communities”
Lafayette Police Chief Patrick FLannely
(Representing the Indiana Association of Chiefs of Police on the permitless carry legislation) 2
SUPPORTED: Allowing private schools to force our public school systems to sell OUR school building facilities for just $1! 3
This 2011 law has resulted in outside organizations trying to force the sale of Carmel Clay School property without regard for the long term effect on our school system. 4
SUPPORTED: Multiple extremist bills, like SB1 and the Indiana Religious Freedom Restoration Act 5 , that damage our economy and force businesses to move out of the Hoosier state.
“As a global company headquartered in Indianapolis for more than 145 years, we work hard to retain and attract thousands of people who are important drivers of our state’s economy. Given this new law, we will be forced to plan for more employment growth outside of our home state.”
Official Statement From Pharmaceutical COmpany Eli Lilly on SB1 6
SUPPORTED: Indiana’s abortion ban that removes family planning decisions from Hoosiers and puts the lives of our wives and daughters at risk. 7
“The bill’s restrictions on a physician’s ability to do what is medically proven and appropriate for the health and life of a pregnant patient, plus the threat of criminalization, impact our ability to provide safe and effective patient care and could deter physicians seeking to live and practice healthcare in Indiana”
