Are you informed?

Below is H4ML's voter guide.
We cannot endorse candidates, but we will help you understand more about what candidates have committed to [or not] and the voting records of current candidates. 

Make no mistake. The information below is not a guarantee.

We do our best to vet candidates, ultimately the candidates pledging to uphold medical liberty will need accountability!

If you don't know which districts you are in, text 260-286-0988 the word FIND

Thanks to H4ML's monthly donors, a candidate survey was deployed to each primary candidate for State Representative, State Senate, & US Representative.

Because of generous Hoosiers we are able to get to know where candidates will fight for medical liberty and we couldn't be more thankful. 

These surveys will allow us to share issue discussion about candidates who return their surveys. We are working hard to get this information collected so we can send it out before early voting this April. 

We still need your help!

Make sure you are reaching out to your local candidates and encouraging them to complete our survey.

Federal Level Candidate (US)


Again, thank you to our donors for supporting this vital part of our work.

In Liberty,

Right now, everyone is focused on legislation and we should be.

But if we truly intend to hold our elected officials accountable, the most effective tools are primary challengers and voting.

Candidate filing is officially underway, interest is high, and incumbents are scared!
This year presents a real opportunity for change. Every seat in the Indiana House of Representatives is up for election, along with several Senate seats. That matters for medical liberty.

Hoosiers for Medical Liberty does not endorse, support, or oppose any political candidate or party.
What we do provide is issue-based education and verifiable facts (or written commitments) about how incumbents and challengers represent themselves on medical liberty.

We do this through our biannual candidate survey, and we need your help.

Our survey asks direct, pointed questions to identify where a candidate is willing to fight for your right to medical liberty and where collaboration may or may not be possible. Completed surveys create a written record of a candidate’s stated positions and give insights on their sincerity to up hold medical liberty.
Here is how you can help:

• Download the survey
  
• Email it to your current legislator or any candidate running for State House or State Senate
  
• Make it clear you expect it to be completed and returned
• Let them know medical liberty is your highest priority
  

Better yet, schedule a meeting with the candidate or incumbent. Bring a printed copy of the survey, have it completed in person, and return it to us.

Medical liberty in Indiana will not happen without accountability.
Accountability does not happen without YOUR action.

Thank you for taking this responsibility seriously.

Lately, I have been bombarded with questions about candidates up for the General election regarding their position on Medical Liberty. I have been waiting to get surveys back from a few candidates prior to election day, but can't wait any longer.
 
Sadly, it seems that some believe just because they won the primary, they have your vote…
 
What they fail to think about is that if Medical Liberty makes you a SINGLE ISSUE voter, and they fail to support Medical Liberty, you can [and will] abstain from voting for them.
 
I have said it before, you can absolutely abstain from voting in a race in which there are no "good options."
 
In fact, this is what I do. I refuse to vote for elected officials who won't "tow the line" for Medical Liberty.

Refusing to vote for "the lesser of two evils" is part of holding elected officials accountable for their actions.

If you vote for someone who continuously drops the ball on medical liberty, you are telling them that you don't mind. You are affirming their poor choices.

Can we afford to keep luke warm politicians, or do we want CHAMPIONS?
 
We want you to be an INFORMED voter…
 
As you know, we sent EVERY SINGLE STATE & FEDERAL Legislative candidate a survey at the beginning of the year and followed up with email copies, just in case the hard copy was misplaced.  Below are the results of those surveys. 
 
1. While we do our best to understand candidates while they run, we won't know how they will act in office until they get there. Historically, some individuals who claimed to support medical liberty fell short. If you see a "Pass" next to a candidate, we are going to need your help holding them accountable. We need you to become part of our watchdogs. Click the link for more info.
 
2. If a candidate is not listed below either we did NOT receive a survey, or they do not have a challenger. Follow up with these individuals! There are also a few listed below who did not return surveys.

Anyone who turns in a signed survey from those listed as "FAILED- REFUSED" or "Not returned" below will get a free t-shirt from our store!
 
3. If a candidate has not returned a survey but claims to support medical liberty, you need to question WHY. If they are only willing to give you a verbal confirmation, ask yourself WHY they are not willing to make a written commitment. Look at their voting history, if they have one, and reach out to us to get more information.
 
4. Choosing who to vote for should NOT be taken lightly if you value your medical liberty. "Good enough" isn't going to cut it. We must have representation that is willing to fight for your rights rather than seek political immunization.
 
 
Legend:
 
2024- Pass, The candidate passed our survey and agreed to fight for medical liberty. If an incumbent, their voting record shows consistency in voting for medical liberty.
 
FAIL, The candidate or incumbent failed the survey.
 
FAILED- REFUSED, These incumbents were sent surveys via certified mail to ensure that they received the survey. They have a challenger or have previously been outspoken in support of medical liberty, but their ACTIONS or votes do NOT reflect these beliefs.
 
2024- Probationary, the incumbent has passed the survey, however they have made multiple bad votes on medical liberty. The incumbent has made progress, however caution should be exercised and these incumbents will need strong accountability to ensure they continue to support medical liberty.
 
 
We sincerely hope this gives you the information you need to be an informed voter for Medical Liberty.

Tomorrow delegates from around the state will vote for the Lt. Governor at the state republican convention.
 
As a delegate , I have been hit with a barrage of literature from the Mike Braun campaign, which is pushing for the election of Julie McGuire.

Over the course of the last week, I have received over 12 pieces of mail, including several postcards and three letters.

In the words of my husband, “Boy, the Braun campaign has money to burn.”
 
The Beckwith campaign has sent a smattering of postcards and one letter from his wife, Susan, but not the overbearing flood of mail like the Braun Campaign.
 
Hoosiers for Medical Liberty does not endorse, support or oppose any political candidate, however, we do provide issue discussion.

Hoosiers deserve elected officials who’s words are congruent with their actions!

Right now Medical Liberty is more important than ever.
 
Last week we broke the story of how the Council on Foreign Relations met with state and local leaders discussing “The Avian Flu Outbreak and Preventing the Next Pandemic.”
 
Will avian flu bring back all the COVID nonsense?
 
The Council on Foreign Relations met with state and local officials May 29th and suggested so.
 
If the Indiana Department of Health (IDOH) decides to do what the COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS says, and create administrative rules to enforce these measures, your county WILL be bound by financial strings of SEA4, 2023.
 

Will your Lt. Governor protect your LIBERTY?


The BAD NEWS is...

• Julie McGuire voted to pass a historic +1500% in the Indiana Public Health Budget (SEA4 2023, 3rd Reading)
• Worse yet, SEA4 binds counties to administrative rules which can be changed at any time by the Indiana Department of Health (IDOH).
• IF the IDOH creates administrative rules during a public health emergency for contact tracing, or prohibiting your CHURCH from gathering, your county will be bound by the financial strings of the LAW McGuire helped pass.
• McGuire FAILED to return H4ML's survey despite sending a letter to delegates claiming to "have produced significant results on health freedom." H4ML has not seen actions or evidence that match this statement.

The GOOD NEWS is…
Micah Beckwith returned H4ML's survey and PASSED, committing to protect Medical Liberty.

• Beckwith commits to ensuring churches, businesses, and the public are free of unconstitutional mandates & closures.
• Beckwith agreed to help repeal the bad law, (SEA4, 2023) McGuire helped pass increasing the public health budget by 1500% and creating binding financial strings on local communities like YOURS.
• Beckwith agrees to fight for bodily integrity- or the right to say NO.

Best of all, since 2020 Beckwith has been an outspoken voice for medical liberty. He fought to keep his church doors open during the pandemic. He reports writing thousands of religious exemptions for Hoosiers, and hosted many events to promote liberty. Beckwith's actions have been congruent with his words.

We have been getting an increasing number of questions about the Lt. Governor's race.

While Hoosiers for Medical Liberty does not endorse support or oppose any political candidate, we do provide issue discussion.

To do so the candidates will need to return a candidate survey. Download a copy by clicking here.

We have sent a copy to both Mr. Beckwith & Ms. McGuire. We will update this page if and when they are returned.

As per usual, I have a disclaimer. Hoosiers for Medical liberty does not endorse, support, or oppose any political candidate.

Below, you will find the bare bones of the feedback we have on the May 7th primaries. 

A couple months ago we posted about sending surveys out to EVERY SINGLE STATE & FEDERAL Legislative candidate. Now it is time to share those results, but there are a few things you need to know.

1. While we do our best to understand candidates while they run, we won't know how they will act in office until they get there. Historically, some individuals who claimed to support medical liberty fell short. If you see a "Pass" next to a candidate, we are going to need your help holding them accountable, we need you to become part of our watchdogs. Click the link for more info.

Look at their voting history, if they have one, and reach out to us to get more information.

Legend:
    "*" indicates an incumbent currently holding the seat, unless the incumbent is otherwise marked their voting record is NOT favorable to medical liberty.

2024- Pass, The candidate passed our survey and agreed to fight for medical liberty. If an incumbent, their voting record shows consistency in voting for medical liberty.

FAIL, The candidate or incumbent failed the survey

FAILED- REFUSED, These incumbents were sent surveys via certified mail to ensure that they received the survey. They have a challenger or have previously been outspoken in support of medical liberty but thier ACTIONS or votes do NOT reflect these beliefs.

2024- Probationary, the incumbent has passed the survey however they have made multiple bad votes on medical liberty. The incumbent has made progress, however caution should be exercised and these incumbents will need strong accountability to ensure they continue to support medical liberty.

With out further delay...

It's hard to believe we are half way through March!

While we have had many candidates return surveys before the deadline of March 6th, we still have a few outstanding.

We will update this page with those whom havepassed our survey and what that means. 

While we wait, make sure to follow up with your candidates and ensure they have returned a survey.

In Liberty,

We are trying something new this year.  Rather than constantly updating a web page I thought a blog might be beneficial to allow a review of archives as we move closer to election season.

This page will house all the information about candidates and I will add tags to each post so that you can pull up a list of all posts including your legislators. My hope is that this page will serve as a resource as you educate yourself prior to voting.

We can use the voting records of current legislators to speculate on how they will behave in the future, however we would prefer to give legislators, and candidates alike, the opportunity to share their beliefs with us.

Please print out this survey and ask your legislators to complete it and return it. We greatly appreciate your help in getting completed responses from all current legislators and their challengers.

We will update this space as more information comes in.
