INDIANAPOLIS – State Sen. Cyndi Carrasco (R-Indianapolis) was sworn in as Indiana State Senator for District 36 in the Senate Chamber on Wednesday.
Carrasco succeeds State Sen. Jack E. Sandlin, who passed away on September 20. He had been elected to serve through November 2024. Senate District 36 includes portions of Marion and Johnson counties.
“While being sworn into the State Senate occurs after tragic circumstances with the passing of Senator Sandlin, I am honored to serve and carry on his legacy,” said Carrasco. “I will work daily to represent the people of Marion and Johnson Counties, just as he had, and advocate for our shared values.”
Carrasco currently serves as the Vice President and General Counsel for the University of Indianapolis, is a previous Executive Director for the State Ethics Commission, and was the first female Inspector General for the State of Indiana.
The new State Senator and her husband, Robert, live on the south side of Indianapolis with their daughter, Sarah, and attend St Francis and Clare of Assisi in Greenwood.
