​

Indianapolis, IN — Today, congressional candidate George Hornedo unveiled his A Stronger Foundation plan, a comprehensive agenda to lower costs, expand opportunity, and build the systems families need to thrive.

 

“Indianapolis is only as strong as its people,” said Hornedo. “Right now too many are working hard and still falling behind. Rents are rising, healthcare is unaffordable, and families are forced to make impossible choices between caregiving and a paycheck. Seniors worry about staying in their homes while young people leave because the cost of living keeps going up. It doesn’t have to be this way.”

 

Hornedo’s A Stronger Foundation plan focuses on six pillars that directly address the daily struggles facing Indianapolis families:

 

1. Paid Leave and Stronger Families

Guarantee up to 12 weeks of paid leave, expand workplace protections, and provide financial relief to unpaid caregivers.

 

2. Affordable Childcare and Early Learning

Expand pre-K access, increase childcare subsidies, and support providers—many of them women of color—so parents can work without going broke.

 

3. Housing That’s Affordable and Secure

Build more affordable units, cap sudden rent hikes, fund eviction diversion, and provide support for first-time buyers while cracking down on predatory lending.

 

4. Healthcare That Works

Establish a public option, cap prescription costs, expand preventative care, and restore reproductive freedom including codifying abortion rights and repealing the Hyde Amendment.

​

5. Mental Health, Aging with Dignity, and Public Support

Fund clinics in underserved areas, expand crisis response teams, and strengthen Medicare coverage for home care and senior protections.

 

6. Public Health and Safe Neighborhoods

Invest in community health centers, clean air and water, parks, green space, grocery access, and transit that connects neighborhoods to jobs and schools.

 

Hornedo emphasized that these are not one-off fixes, but long-term investments in the systems families rely on every day.

 

“This is about building stability and security for every family,” Hornedo said. “We can stop managing decline and start building real systems that work. That’s what government is for. That’s what Indianapolis deserves.”

 

The A Stronger Foundation plan is a central pillar of Hornedo’s broader Fair Shot Agenda and underscores his call to rebuild a Democratic Party in Indiana that fights for working families.
