Background
Victoria Martz is a criminal defense attorney and public defender from Batesville (Ripley County) who ran unsuccessfully as the Democratic candidate for House District 55 in the November 2024 general election and has re-filed for 2026 (Sources 1, 3). She was raised on a farm in Milan, Indiana, and describes herself as committed to a "bottom-up" approach emphasizing rural Indiana's needs (Source 1). She serves as Vice Chair of the Ripley County Democratic Party. She is running on themes of fiscal accountability, workers' rights, rural access to healthcare, and the minimum wage (Source 2).
Positions
Fiscal responsibility
No public position foundNo public position found on fiscal responsibility in the constitutional-lens sense. Martz advocates for raising the minimum wage and cannabis legalization to recapture tax revenue; she criticizes what she characterizes as wasteful state spending (e.g., the governor's helipad) but has not articulated a position on property taxes, government spending caps, or Medicaid eligibility reform (Source 2). Per scoring rules, no direct statement on fiscal responsibility as defined by the lens found; endorsement-only alignment is insufficient.
Limited government
No public position foundNo public position found on limited government as defined by this voter guide's lens. Martz has called for ballot initiative and referendum processes that would give voters direct legislative authority, which cuts against the current structure of representative government, but this is a structural/process position, not a direct statement on government scope (Sources 2, 3). No direct statement on DEI programs, redistricting, or regulatory scope found.
Second Amendment
No public position foundNo public position found on Second Amendment issues.
Pro-life issues

Family values
No public position foundNo public position found on family values issues as defined by this lens (transgender sports, parental rights, DEI). Her campaign focuses on economic and access issues, not social issues (Sources 1, 2).
