John (J.D.) Prescott

Prescott voted YES on SB 1 (2025), the property-tax-relief package (Source 4), and YES on SB 1 (2026), tightening Medicaid and SNAP eligibility and immigration verification (Source 5). The Indiana Chamber of Commerce ranked him among top House members for pro-economy voting in 2025.

Prescott voted YES on HB 1032 (2026), the mid-decade redistricting bill, which passed the House 57-41 (Source 7). He has served on the Elections and Apportionment Committee and authored amendment language on the 2025 partisan school board bill. No direct statement on limiting executive or regulatory power found.

Prescott voted YES on HB 1296 (2022), Indiana's constitutional carry bill, which passed 66-30 and eliminated the requirement for a handgun carry permit (Source 9). He also voted YES on HB 1084 (2024), the 2A Privacy Act protecting firearms financial transactions (Source 8). The Indiana State FOP endorsed Prescott for House District 33 in 2024.

Prescott is listed as a House cosponsor of SB 236 (2026), the abortion-inducing drug ban, which passed the Senate 35-10 before dying in the House Public Health committee without a House floor vote (Source 6). No other direct pro-life votes or statements were found, though his co-sponsorship represents a direct legislative commitment.

The Indiana Family Institute gave Prescott an 86% score on its 2025 Legislative Scorecard: YES on HB 1041 (Save Women's College Sports), HB 1102, HB 1348, SB 143 (parental rights), and SB 287 (school board transparency); NOT VOTING on SB 289 (DEI prohibition); and YES on SB 442 (Source 3). The NV on SB 289 — rather than a yes vote — is the only departure from full alignment with IFI positions.
