John L. Bartlett

Bartlett voted NO on SB 1 (2025), the property tax relief package[^10]. He voted NO on SB 1 (2026), the Medicaid/SNAP immigration verification reform bill, in line with Democratic caucus opposition[^8]. His top stated priorities include women's health care, utility costs, and road funding — not fiscal restraint in the constitutional-values sense tracked by this guide[^3].

No public position found on limited government. Bartlett opposed HB 1032 (redistricting) — an amendment he authored to that bill was ruled out of order — but his opposition was on grounds of fair representation, not limited-government principle[^21]. No direct statement by Bartlett specifically endorsing limited government as a principle was found.

No public position found on the Second Amendment. No NRA-PVF rating or pro-2A statement by Bartlett was found. His 2025 legislative agenda focused on law enforcement accountability, not 2A issues[^6].

The IFI 2025 scorecard does not award Bartlett a favorable score[^4]. Bartlett's voting pattern follows the Democratic caucus in opposing IFI-supported legislation. No pro-life statement, pledge, or vote by Bartlett was found.

Bartlett voted NO on SB 1 (2025) and SB 1 (2026)[^10][^8]. SB 143 (Parental Rights, 2025) passed 69-24 with Democrats opposed; SB 289 (DEI prohibition) passed 67-27 with Democrats opposed; HB 1041 (Women's College Sports) passed 71-25 with Democrats opposed — Bartlett's individual votes on these bills could not be confirmed by name in retrieved roll calls, but the IFI 2025 scorecard confirms no favorable marks[^4]. Bartlett told Mirror Indy he is "totally opposed to data centers" on environmental grounds, reflecting a progressive priorities alignment[^3].
