Stephanie Jo Yocum for Indiana District 88

Welcome!

As your Representative, as a fellow Hoosier, I want to get to know you, build a connection with you, so please reach out.

Bridging Divides, Delivering Results

I love Indiana and respect my fellow Hoosiers - regardless if we agree on everything or not. I was born and raised here, and I have watched first-hand as extreme policies have emerged from the Statehouse, fueled by one-party rule, causing us to face many challenges. It’s more expensive to live here than ever and our quality of life is declining. We are losing talent at a staggering rate; more than half of Indiana college students leave Indiana after graduation.

According to the U.S. News and World Report, Indiana is 43rd in health care, 50th in the natural environment, and we don’t break the top 15 in education. As your next Representative, I will work towards a future where Indiana is a state where people choose to live because of job opportunities, thriving small businesses, adequate housing, and a safe environment.

I was raised by a democrat AND a republican. I learned at an early age that civility is the pathway to getting things done together. I have been successful in leadership - turning around struggling organizations, merging fractured teams, and meeting urgent community needs. My leadership is rooted in collaboration. I believe that we CAN and we MUST come together for the betterment of all. I am driven by my three core values: compassion, community, and connection; these values underscore all that I do. I aim to bridge divides, strengthen community bonds, and ensure that every Hoosier feels valued and supported.
