ISSUES
Protecting Our Farmers
Agriculture is one of the most important industries in Northeast Indiana and the backbone of our economy. I will proudly continue supporting family farms in the State Senate, just as I have throughout my career.
Federal regulations like the Waters of the US are burdening small farms, costing them thousands of dollars a year and making it harder to thrive. We MUST fight against these overreaching regulations at the state level and ensure our small farms and farmers are protected from unnecessary government interference.
Balanced Budget
Andy Zay is fighting to protect your hard-earned tax dollars. During the 2025 legislative session, he helped pass a balanced, two-year state budget that reflects real fiscal discipline, just like he uses in his own business. Zay stood up for transparency, pushed to lower health care costs, and made sure every dollar spent served Hoosier families. He’s not done yet. As your State Senator, Andy will keep working to rein in wasteful spending and take on the middlemen driving up prescription drug prices. He knows how to balance a budget, and he’s making sure Indiana does too.
Life
As the father of five children, I am 100% Pro-Life and understand the importance of protecting the rights of the unborn. In the State Senate, I have proudly supported Indiana’s strong pro-life laws and will continue to advocate for the sanctity of life. I will oppose any attempts to use taxpayer dollars for abortion and ensure that Indiana remains a state where the rights of the unborn are protected.
Taxes
As the owner of an automobile dealership, I understand the barriers small businesses face to thrive. In today’s economy, Hoosiers must keep more of their hard-earned money to afford necessities and save for the future. In the State Senate, I will continue to fight against tax increases and work to make sure Indiana’s tax policies support small businesses and working families. I will never support raising taxes and will ensure more hard-earned money stays with the people, not the government.
Second Amendment
With an A rating from the NRA, I have consistently protected gun owners’ rights in the State Senate and will continue to do so. The Second Amendment wasn't written just for hunting; it was designed to protect citizens from tyranny. I will stand firm against any efforts to weaken this constitutional right and continue fighting to preserve our freedoms here in Indiana.
Economic Opportunities
Andy Zay believes every Hoosier deserves access to real economic opportunity, no matter where they live. That’s why he’s focused on policies that grow jobs, support small businesses, and strengthen Indiana’s workforce. From investing in career training to expanding broadband access in rural communities, Zay is working to create an environment where families can thrive and businesses can grow. He knows that when we cut red tape and keep taxes low, opportunity follows. Andy Zay is committed to building a stronger Indiana. One job, one business, one community at a time.
National Security
While national defense is primarily a federal responsibility, we must do everything we can at the state level to ensure Indiana’s National Guard is prepared and supported. I will continue working to ensure that our state resources are available to equip and train our National Guard, keeping Hoosiers safe from emerging threats. I will also oppose any efforts to lower standards or politicize our military with "woke" ideologies.
Title IX Reform
Sports build character, and I firmly believe we must protect the integrity of women’s sports. Last year, I voted to uphold fairness in women’s sports by supporting H.B. 1041, which ensures that men cannot compete in women’s athletics. I will continue to fight for these protections and ensure that our daughters and granddaughters can compete on a level playing field.
Support Our Police
I have always supported law enforcement and will continue to back the blue in the State Senate. Radical efforts to defund or undermine the police make our communities less safe. I will oppose any so-called “safe policing” initiatives that weaken law enforcement and continue advocating for the resources our officers need to protect our families.
Election Integrity
To protect the integrity of our elections, I have supported common-sense measures in the State Senate. This includes requiring voter ID for in-person voting and signature verification for mail-in ballots. I will continue to fight for secure elections in Indiana, ensuring that every vote is legal and counted properly.
