Where Indiana Senate candidates stand on abortion, the economy and other issues

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

59% : Interracial marriage and same-sex marriage is part of the unique cultural diversity in Indiana as well as throughout all of America.
58% : In the Senate, there are continued conversations about how to ensure any bill the Senate considers would include religious freedom protections, which are critically important.
54% : I'm doing everything I can in Congress to work with the brave men and women of the Border Patrol -- who, I'm proud to say, have endorsed my campaign for reelection -- to get them the tools they need to handle this crisis.
52% : Q: Should protections for same-sex and interracial marriages be enshrined in federal law?
52% : We all know the real problem is the ever-rising price of a college education.
50% : We don't have to choose between protecting Second Amendment rights and making our communities safer.
49% : Q: Biden recently announced that he has directed his administration to review how marijuana is scheduled under federal law.
46% : My opponent says he supports law enforcement, but when given the chance to support the Capitol Police he turned his back on them by refusing to support their efforts to get to the bottom of what happened on Jan. 6.
46% : Do you support the federal decriminalization of marijuana?
46% : Decriminalizing marijuana is the right thing to do.
42% : Young: It was the right decision for the Supreme Court to restore authority over this issue back to the states, allowing each state to make its own laws regarding abortion.
41% : Elected officials like our current senator that support fully banning abortion with no exceptions are extreme and simply cruel.
40% : I support the Second Amendment and I don't want to take away your gun.
40% : Young: Given the Obergefell decision on same-sex marriage in 2015, I think most people consider this issue settled.
39% : Student loan repayment is a short-term "solution" that fails to address the root of the issue: the out-of-control costs of higher education, and the lack of incentives to study practical subjects.
38% : Discriminatory practices against interracial marriage and same-sex marriage should not be tolerated by states nor federal law.
36% : On his first day in office, Biden signed an executive order to cancel the Keystone XL Pipeline and supported other anti-energy production policies found in the Green New Deal.
35% : Young: I support the Second Amendment.
30% : IndyStar asked each candidate to fill out a questionnaire explaining their stance on key issues, from abortion to marijuana legalization.
