State Senator Jean Leising, R-Oldenburg, filed the necessary paperwork to run for reelection in Indiana State Senate District 42, which is comprised of Decatur, Fayette, Ripley and Rush counties and portions of Franklin, Jennings, and Shelby counties.
“Serving the people of Southeastern Indiana has always been a joy and an honor,” Leising said. "I have always worked tirelessly to represent the issues and values important to my constituents in this large rural district, and I am hopeful the voters will reelect me to another term so I can continue to serve them in the Indiana State Senate.”
