This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

| Submission declined on 1 October 2024 by AlphaBetaGamma (talk). The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at 2024 United States Senate election in Indiana. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you. Declined by AlphaBetaGamma 30 days ago. | |
Valerie McCray is an American clinical psychologist and political candidate who is currently the Democratic nominee for the United States Senate Seat in Indiana, and will face down United States Congressman Jim Banks in the general election. She is the first black woman to be a senatorial nominee from Indiana.[1]
Policy
editAt a speech given at Purdue University on October 4th, 2024, McCray said "I don't think I would have a bigger regret than voting in the next election." She believes that the Indiana media is causing her support to be underrepresented especially in the polls. McCray supports a ceasefire in Gaza and also believes the Jewish people needs a place to live. McCray hopes to capitalise on disenfranchised voters that are unsatisfied with MAGA republican policies. She paints her opponent, Banks, as a staunch supporter of Trump and an author behind Project 2025. In terms of environmental policy she wants to reduce American dependence on oil and gas. Her energy policy is largely tied to her environmental policy, and she would be willing to reconsider nuclear power as an alternative, something she mentioned at her Purdue speech. This claim may have struck home with the audience as Purdue is home to the only nuclear reactor in the state. She solidly supports abortion and affirmative action, which she sees as justice for the centuries of white male affirmative action in the opposite direction.
