I don't need to tell you – you felt it the last time you stopped for gas.
Prices are surging again, and Indiana families are getting hit from every direction at once. What I do want you to know is why, and what we're going to do about it.
Indiana carries some of the highest gas taxes in the nation. Lorissa Sweet voted for those taxes. Every time a Hoosier parent fills up the car to drop their kids at daycare, daycare that costs more this year than it did last year, they're paying for her vote.
And it's not just gas.
Utility bills. Healthcare premiums. Childcare. The cost of just getting through a month in Indiana has become genuinely painful for working families – and the people they sent to the Statehouse aren't feeling it.
Here's what should make you angry: Lorissa Sweet voted to give large corporations a 7% sales tax break on their utility bills. Then she turned around and voted against giving that exact same relief to Indiana families.
One vote for them. One vote against you. That's a choice – and it tells you everything.
Pepper Snyder will make different choices. Because Pepper believes the families working hard to make ends meet in this district deserve a seat at the table, not just the corporations writing the big checks.
We're building something real here. Our open house with State Representative Carey Hamilton was a tremendous success, and the enthusiasm from families across this district has us more energized than ever.
Thank you for standing with us,
The Pepper Snyder for State Representative Campaign
P.S. Lorissa Sweet gave corporations a tax break and left families with nothing. Pepper will fight to make sure that never happens again. Chip in today.
We've got Pepper Snyder for State Representative t-shirts available and only $20 for a t-shirt made from fabric so soft it'll become your favorite thing to sleep in? Wear it proudly, or buy a second one and we'll get it into the hands of a volunteer who's out there doing the work every day.
Even if a t-shirt isn't your thing, buying one for a volunteer is a meaningful way to show your support for the campaign.
Pepper Snyder is a lifelong Hoosier, a Seeger High School graduate, and a proud mother of seven and grandmother to eight. For more than 30 years, she’s been married to her husband Gary, a U.S. Army infantryman veteran, standing beside him as a military wife while building a family rooted in faith, service, responsibility, and community right here in Huntington County.
Pepper spent her career working for the State of Indiana ensuring SNAP and Medicaid programs were run fairly and responsibly—protecting taxpayer dollars and safeguarding access for eligible Hoosiers who depended on them. Her work focused on accountability and integrity, making sure assistance reached the right people while preventing fraud that threatens the long-term health of these programs. She knows how government works because she’s spent years strengthening systems so they serve families better, not bureaucracy.
Pepper is running for State Representative to bring common-sense compassion, accountability, and real-world experience to the Statehouse—making Indiana affordable again for working families, seniors, and the next generation.
