INDIANAPOLIS - Mary Ann Sullivan, the Democratic candidate for Indiana House District 97, today announced her legislative agenda at a Statehouse news conference.
"The Mary Ann Plan" lays out Sullivan's vision for the district; she crafted it after spending a year getting feedback from constituents and community leaders. The plan focuses on five major areas: our ailing economy, our education system, our health care crisis, the property tax situation and the pressing need for government reform.
"Unlike my opponent, I've spent the last year running for this public office, and my plan reflects the stories I've heard on the campaign trail," Sullivan said. "Hoosiers are looking for new ideas and new ways to solve our problems. They're also looking for leaders who can work together to actually get things done."
Highlights from "The Mary Ann Plan" include working with the Indiana Economic Development Corporation and business leaders to grow "green" jobs by building on the state's existing workforce strengths; getting money back from companies who break their job growth commitments; fully funding full-day kindergarten; improve health care records to increase efficiency; and develop a fair and equitable property assessment system to prevent future property tax crises.
"We've got to get back to basics," Sullivan said. "I understand that we're going into a tough budget year that's going to require us to set and stick to our priorities. These are my priorities."
"I didn't have much growing up, but my parents taught me that promises mean something. I can't promise that everything in this plan will become law next year, but I can promise that if I'm elected November, I will fight passionately for these initiatives, and I will never walk out on my constituents," Sullivan concluded.

She has worked in and for the Indianapolis Public Schools and holds a Bachelor's degree in Philosophy and a Masters Degree in Public Affairs, focusing on policy analysis.
