AFP-IN Congratulates Endorsed Candidates in Successful State Legislative Races
INDIANAPOLIS, IN—Americans for Prosperity-Indiana (AFP-IN) congratulated endorsed candidates on their successful runs to serve in the Indiana state legislature.
Incumbent State Senators Brian Buchanan (SD-07), Justin Busch (SD-16), Scott Baldwin (SD-20), Aaron Freeman (SD-32), and Cyndi Carrasco (SD-36) won reelection to the Indiana State Senate.
Incumbent State Representatives Dale DeVon (HD-05), Jake Teshka (HD-07), Kyle Pierce (HD-36), Gregory Steuerwald (HD-40), Joanna King (HD-49), Ben Smaltz (HD-52), Dave Hall (HD-62), Zach Payne (HD-66), and Martin Carbaugh (HD-81) won reelection to the Indiana House of Representatives. In addition, AFP-IN endorsed incumbent Becky Cash (HD-25) where she is currently leading, but the race is too close to call.
Non-incumbent Brett Clark won his race and will represent the 24th senate district next session, and non-incumbents Hunter Smith, Alaina Shonkwiler, and Tony Isa also won their races and will represent the 24th, 29th, and 51st house districts next session.
AFP-IN State Director Josh Webb issued the following statement after the races were called:
“AFP-IN is proud to have backed these winning candidates to ensure that Indiana continues to make progress on expanding educational opportunity, taking on regulatory reform, and increasing access to affordable, quality healthcare. We are excited to work with these members of the legislature in the next legislative session.
“We applaud our grassroots activists and volunteers for reaching out to over 420,000 voters to support our policy champions. With these policy majorities, Indiana will continue to advance limited government solutions that empower Hoosiers and increase our state’s competitiveness throughout the Midwest.”
This has been a record-breaking year as AFP and AFP Action separately engaged in a staggering 647 races, including 7 critical U.S. Senate races and 44 U.S. House races. AFP and AFP Action’s grassroots army across the country reached out to more than 19.5 million voters – AFP and AFP Action’s largest effort in our 20-year history. AFP Action’s engagement in federal races is critical as we get back to promoting candidates who will advance good policy in Washington and AFP and AFP Action’s engagement in state legislative races continues their commitment to championing policy solutions and limited government principles that empower states across the country.
