Background
Jack Chance is the Democrat challenger running for the open HD-30 seat and has no Democratic primary opponent (Source 5). He grew up in Tipton and now lives in Kokomo, raised in a working-class family (Source 1). Chance works for a nonprofit housing organization in Indianapolis focused on senior and low-income residents; he entered housing management in 2020 after seeing "how Indiana's broken housing system leaves far too many seniors, families, and working people vulnerable" (Source 1). He also signed the U.S. Term Limits Convention pledge (Source 4). His BallotReady profile lists policy positions including repealing the Indiana Choice Scholarship (voucher) Program and returning those funds to public schools, abolishing the IURC (Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission) and replacing it with a "democratically accountable system" where rate hikes are approved by voters, and requiring speed limiters on semis (Source 2).
Positions
Fiscal responsibility
OpposeChance advocates repealing the Indiana Choice Scholarship Program entirely and redirecting all voucher funds back to public schools (Source 2), representing a significant increase in public education spending. He calls for abolishing the IURC and creating a voter-approved rate-setting system, which would restructure utility-cost regulation (Source 2). No direct statement on state budget, property taxes, or SNAP/Medicaid legislation was found.
Limited government
MixedChance signed the U.S. Term Limits Convention pledge, a structural limited-government commitment (Source 4). However, his policy positions on abolishing the IURC and replacing it with a voter-controlled rate-setting system, and on redirecting school voucher funds back to public schools, reflect a preference for restructured rather than reduced government involvement in utilities and education (Source 2).
