"From the beginning, I promised that I would never sacrifice right and wrong for my own benefit...I am not perfect. Some decisions are close calls. Some days require choosing which battles matter most. And I have learned firsthand that it is impossible to make everyone happy. But I am proud of how I have represented the people of District 23, and I am ready to build on that success."

Spencer's Voting Record
Making Life More Affordable
Indiana cannot fix inflation without help from Congress, but we can invest in our economy and workforce so good jobs are abundant. We can operate government efficiently so taxes are low. We can make housing more affordable by avoiding mandates that limit supply or inflate costs. And we can disrupt monopolistic practices that drive up healthcare costs.
