18 years is long enough.
We need a fresh perspective.
Sid Mahant has your back.
Who is Sid?
"I'm a small business owner, a son, husband, and father, just like many of you. I've sat in the same traffic, I've worried about the same tax bills, and I'm just as annoyed as you are. I'm not running for a career; I'm running to get things done so we can all go back to what really matters."
Every candidate talks about creating jobs and lower taxes, and Sid Mahant is actually committed to delivering both. As a small business owner, he knows firsthand what it takes to create opportunity and keep more money in the pockets of working Hoosiers.
But Sid isn't stopping there. He sees the people behind the issues. The teacher working a second job to stay in the classroom. The senior rationing medications to make rent. The young family doing the math on childcare and wondering how they're supposed to get ahead.
These are the real pressures facing those living within District 40. Sid Mahant is running to ensure everyone within the district finally has a representative who is determined to fight FOR them.
Support Our Educators
Our teachers show up every day for our kids. It's time we show up for them.
That means
- Classrooms with the tools students actually need.
- Smaller class sizes so no child gets lost in the crowd.
- Pay that reflects the weight of the work so educators aren't moonlighting just to cover their bills.
As the father of two boys who went through Avon schools, he understands that strong communities start in the classroom. When we invest in our teachers, we strengthen our schools, our communities, and the future of every child.
Protect Our Seniors
No one who spent a lifetime working and contributing should spend their retirement years worried about keeping the lights on.
Seniors on fixed incomes are feeling it from every direction: groceries, gas, medications, rent, healthcare and more. The bills don't stop, but the paychecks do. That's not the retirement anyone dreams of.
Sid Mahant will fight to keep property taxes low, protect retirement security, and make sure every older Hoosier can age with dignity, independence, and the peace of mind they deserve.
Provide Childcare Relief
Full-time infant care in Indiana runs over $16,478 a year, and that's for one child. Childcareaware Add a toddler, and you're looking at over $28,000 annually before a single grocery run. Nationally, the average price of care for two children now exceeds average housing costs across the Midwest. TOOTRiS For many District 40 families, that math means one parent stays home, not by choice, but by necessity.
Sid Mahant believes affordable, accessible childcare is an economic issue, not just a family issue. When working parents have options, families are stronger, local businesses have the workforce they need, and our community grows. District 40 families deserve solutions, not talking points.
