Indiana ranks ** #10 in the nation for business.**

Indiana ranks ** #48 for Quality of Life.**

Those numbers come from the **same 2026 CNBC study** — America’s Top States for Business. CNBC scored all 50 states using 138 metrics across 10 categories.

And “Quality of Life” is not just about whether people like living here.

CNBC looks at real factors that affect Hoosiers every day, including: crime, air quality, healthcare, the cost and availability of childcare, worker protections, protections against discrimination, voting rights and election security, and reproductive rights.

That is what makes this 38-place gap so important.

Indiana can be highly competitive for business while still scoring near the bottom on the things that determine whether people can build a life here, raise a family here, work here, stay healthy here, and have a voice here.

Being good for business and being good for Hoosiers should not be competing goals.

**Our priorities are out of balance. Hoosiers deserve better.**

Vote Paula Neuman for Aboite Township Board!

Leadership does not always come with a title. For 2026 graduate Paula Neuman, it looks like showing up. "One specific way I'm showing up differently in my community since AVOW is by being more willing to step forward instead of waiting to be asked. Even in small ways, I'm speaking up more in conversations, offering support when I see a need, and looking for opportunities to connect people with resources or encouragement.

AVOW helped me understand that leadership is not only about holding a title, it is about being present, paying attention, and taking action where I can. I'm trying to show up with more confidence, more consistency, and a stronger sense of responsibility to the people around me." Paula Neuman, a neuropsychologist and business owner at NE Neuropsychological, is one of 24 women in AVOW's 2026 graduating class.

Her words are a reminder that public leadership often starts small, in the choice to step forward, again and again.

When I decided to run for Huntertown Town Council, I did not know what was to come. I'm attending meetings, community events, or knocking on voter's doors almost every day of the week. But all this time out and about, I have built friendships, learned a ton, and even experienced some hard moments...and that's just here in Huntertown. Kelly Thompson For Congress has 13 counties full of experiences while on the campaign trail. This should be a fun conversation! Join us!
