LETTER : CONVENTION OF STATES THREATENS U.S. CONSTITUTION
By John Hurley Letter to Editor Dubois County Free Press

"This is a dangerous, vaguely worded, and unprecedented method of amending the U.S. Constitution.
Unfortunately, in 2016, Indiana’s Republican-controlled legislature passed a joint resolution approving such a convention. Groups with deceptive names and representing political extremes, including U.S. Term Limits, ALEC, and Convention of States, want an Article V Convention to implement their radical agendas permanently."

TEACHERS AS LAWMAKERS 
By Diana Hadley The Statehouse File

"John Hurley, a technology teacher from South Spencer High School for 10 years, is running for state representative in District 75. He is willing to take on this work because he wants to “put public education at the forefront.” But he says he needs volunteers to help with communication, funding, phone banks, and signs as he continues to teach."

LETTER : HEALTHCARE FOR HOOSIER FARMERS
By John Hurley Warrick County Standard

"Hoosier Farmers and other rural Hoosiers have often suffered from a lack of healthcare benefit options. According to the Indiana Farm Bureau, 43% of Hoosier farmers under the age of 65 have avoided treatment of a health condition due to cost. For those owner-operators with no employees who do not qualify for subsidies under the Affordable Care Act, legislative action is needed to provide coverage."
LETTER : VOTERS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO SELECT U.S. SENATOR CANDIDATES
By John Hurley Letter to Editor Dubois County Free Press

TRI-STATE TEACHERS GO RED FOR ED AT PUBLIC EDUCATION RALLY AT THE STATEHOUSE
By Chellsie Parker 14 News

“Using one test to evaluate educators across the board and to evaluate students across the board is just an erroneous idea,' said John Hurley, a South Spencer High School teacher.
14 News saw a huge presence from southwest Indiana school districts in Indianapolis on Tuesday. The Red for Ed rally shut down half of Indiana’s school districts, all in hopes of fighting for change for both the teachers and the students."

LETTER : FIGHTING FOR HOOSIER STUDENTS
By John Hurley Letter to Editor Dubois County Herald

"On November 19, I will be joining thousands of educators and supporters from across Indiana to stand up for Public Education at the Statehouse. This occurs on Organization Day, a time when legislators return to Indianapolis to plan the 2020 session.
After a decade of disrespect, defunding, and demoralization, the Indiana Legislature has forced educators to spend time away from the classroom. Educators recognize the need for adequate support, reduced testing, and the repeal of ridiculous and overbearing requirements; we simply ask our legislators to recognize the same.
We are standing up for our students, our schools, our colleagues, and our communities. I ask that you join with us to support the future of Indiana and the nation."

POLICYMAKERS WANT TO RAISE TEACHER PAY. HERE'S HOW TEACHERS SAY THEY SHOULD DO IT
By Jeanie Lindsay Indiana Public Broadcasting

"John Hurley ran for a seat in the General Assembly last year. He says lawmakers could find money for teachers by phasing out the state’s voucher program and capping funding for charter schools – a popular notion among public educators.
'We have the money to do this to help. We just have to make that decision,' he says."
'RED FOR ED': HUNDREDS OF TEACHERS RALLY FOR BETTER PAY, SCHOOL FUNDING
​
By Emma Atkinson Indiana Public Radio

"John Hurley ran for a seat in the General Assembly last year. He teaches industrial technology at South Spencer High School in Spencer County, and says his main concern is teacher retention.
'We’ve had teachers that are not staying the classroom, that are moving to other jobs, and a big part of that is we need to have respect for our educators and we need to have quality pay for them as well,' Hurley says."

​By Jeanie Lindsay Indiana Public Media

"Educators and their unions will be watching closely as the next session plays out though, and whether teacher candidate Hurley is doing that from his classroom or from a seat in the statehouse, he says his campaign and those of other teachers have already sent a message."

LETTER : VOTERS SHOULD CONSIDER LOCAL CANDIDATES ON THEIR MERITS, NOT NATIONAL IDEALS
By John Hurley Letter to Editor Dubois County Free Press

"Ask which candidate is running on issues that will impact you on a daily basis. Involve yourself in the process; base your vote off of what you learn about each individual candidate, and then hold those people accountable."

By NORML

"Do you support the implementation of a medical cannabis program in Indiana to make cannabis legally available to patients for medical purposes?
Yes. Patients and doctors deserve to have all viable options for the treatment of illness or pain. A medical cannabis program would further the study of the potential uses of cannabis and work to standardize various strains."
