Former Indiana Inspector General Cyndi Carrasco was selected overwhelmingly by a caucus of Republican precinct committee members Wednesday to fill the remainder of the late Jack Sandlin’s term in the Indiana Senate.
Cyndi Carrasco, a Republican who lost to Democrat Ryan Mears in the 2022 election for Marion County prosecutor, has filed as a candidate for Indiana State Senate District 36.
State Sen. Jack Sandlin of Indianapolis has died, GOP officials said Wednesday evening. He was 72.
Dozens of bills are already advancing through committees and legislative chambers halfway through the third week of Indiana’s 2023 session.
Marion County-specific legislation restricting the use of certain sheriff’s office funds will make its way to the full Indiana Senate after passing out of committee Thursday along partisan lines.
