Get StartedThe problems of communities of District 3 cannot be fixed simply by pouring state or federal money on the problems. The problems can only be fixed for the long term when most everyone is working. Problems in communities with high levels of poverty are almost impossible to 'fix'. Jobs are the answer. When everyone is working, families, neighborhoods and communities are all better. Houses get fixed up. Things look better. Kids do better in school when their parents work. Even churches do better. There's less drugs and crime. Jobs are the solution. Learn more
For the last 10 years or more Hobart and Merrillville have been building new businesses as fast as they can. It shows in the economic vitality of those communities. Creating new buildings creates jobs twice. Jobs are first created when the buildings are built and then again when the building is finished and the new business hires. For people who live in areas that aren't appropriate for new construction, we need to be sure that there's adequate transportation so anyone who lives in District 3 can get to good paying jobs. Northwest Indiana became what it was in it's heyday because people came to Gary from all over the country and all over world because there were lots and lots of jobs. There is lots of land on which new businesses can be built. The 3rd District has access to highways, an airport, lots of railroads and shipping on Lake Michigan as well as easy access to Chicago. We have exactly what modern businesses want. Learn more
