New Leadership for the Indiana GOP

John,

 

This is my first time sharing my thoughts as your State Chairwoman. I am honored and humbled by the trust placed in me by Governor Mike Braun and the State Committee. I am a proud Hoosier—born and raised. As an entrepreneur, former CFO, and IT Director of a national warehousing company, I have always maintained a full professional schedule. However, service has always been a priority in my life.

 

Since 2016, I have had the honor of serving as Fort Wayne City Clerk—a role I will continue while serving as Chairwoman. In this position, I have worked to modernize and rebuild the office, making local government more transparent and accessible. One of my first initiatives was digitizing and scanning decades of legislative records, ensuring that residents could easily access information about their government and how taxpayer dollars are being spent. This same commitment to transparency, accessibility, and service will guide my leadership at the Indiana Republican Party.

 

Indiana is the crossroads of America, and as Governor Braun reminded us in his State of the State address, we are at a crossroads. As a party, we will continue to work to elect conservative leaders to guide our state and serve our communities. T

 

Together, we will meet the challenges ahead and make Indiana a beacon of freedom and opportunity. Thank you for being a part of our Indiana GOP team, please do not hesitate to reach out if I can ever be of assistance.
