STATEHOUSE – “I have had the honor to serve as senator of Senate District 43 for nearly nine years and have made the difficult decision to resign my position. It is a challenge to balance public service with business, personal and family obligations, as each of those responsibilities has grown recently and it feels like a disservice to the people of my district when I cannot fully give the Indiana Senate the focus it requires.
“I have enjoyed my time in public service, met so many good people and learned so much. It has been a very rewarding and fulfilling experience.
“Again, thank you to everyone for the privilege of serving the people of Indiana.”

He also serves on the Senate committees on Agriculture, Natural Resources and Pensions and Labor.
