Arthur's background
Arthur's positions
Property taxes
- Agrees relief is needed but says "I don't think Senate Bill 1 got the balance right"; argues local income taxes move the burden "onto the same people in a different way" and wants more targeted relief [13].
Education
- Says "Strong public schools and responsible school choice can coexist, but only if we get the balance right" [13].
- Says a growing share of education funding goes to private school vouchers and that choices "should not come at the expense of the schools that educate the vast majority of Indiana's children"; supports more public school funding, teacher pay and career and technical education [17].
Data centers
- "I support a temporary moratorium on large-scale data center developments until we have clearer answers," with guardrails on water and energy use [13].
- Says businesses driving new energy demand, such as large data centers, should pay for the grid investments they require rather than existing ratepayers [17].
Energy & utilities
- Supports stronger transparency and oversight of utility rates, energy efficiency programs and a "balanced mix" of energy sources [17].
Agriculture

Transportation
Health care
