  • "Cinde grew up shooting hunting rifles with her brother and grandfather. Her grandfather was an Indiana NRA member who advocated strongly for gun safety. It was drilled into the children in the family. Cinde has target shot and skeet shot. She learned to bow-hunt and hunt invasive species underwater with a spear. She understands the thrill that comes with feeling and controlling the power of shooting a gun and a bow. She knows what it is to hunt, clean, and eat your prey. These experiences do not change her immovable position that guns should be well-regulated , firearm background checks expanded, and gun-safety programs also expanded." (wirth4congress.com)
  • "Cinde favors incentivizing and restoring quality, local community healthcare options, reducing health care costs by making premiums more affordable, reducing out-of-pocket expenses, and capping prescription drug costs while maintaining protections for those with preexisting conditions and prohibitions on lifetime coverage caps."
