Decision 2024: Your voices, your future
Every four years, in conjunction with Indiana’s gubernatorial election, the IU Public Policy Institute (PPI) sponsors a Gubernatorial Candidates Forum. The event is intended to further the mission of PPI and its Center for Civic Literacy (CCL) to produce unbiased, high-quality research, analyses, and policy guidance to promote positive change and improve the quality of life in communities across Indiana and the nation.
Cities and states today face significant issues and their elected officials have considerable latitude in addressing those issues.
In Indiana, the 2024 gubernatorial and legislative elections will determine how the state pursues policies for all Hoosier families, including education, health, childcare, our workforce, and much more. These policies affect us in meaningful and sustained ways on a daily basis. In order to cast an informed vote, citizens must understand what the issues are, the candidates’ approaches to those issues, and the legal and political systems within which they must make their preferred policies work.
This fall, former Indiana Supreme Court Chief Justice Randall Shepard will sit down with all three candidates for governor to discuss key policy issues affecting the future of our state.
