STATEHOUSE (Nov. 1, 2023) — State Sen. Cyndi Carrasco (R-Indianapolis) was sworn in as Indiana State Senator for Senate District 36 by Indiana Supreme Court Chief Justice Loretta Rush in the Senate Chamber today.
Carrasco succeeds State Sen. Jack E. Sandlin (R-Indianapolis), who passed away unexpectedly on Sept. 20, and had been elected to serve through November of 2024. Senate District 36 includes portions of Marion and Johnson counties.
"While being sworn into the State Senate occurs after unforeseen and tragic circumstances with the passing of Senator Sandlin, I am honored to have the opportunity to serve and carry on his legacy,” said Carrasco. “I will never seek to be another Jack, but I will work every day to represent the people of Marion and Johnson Counties just as he had, and advocate for our shared values.”
A native of El Paso, Texas, Carrasco graduated from the University of Texas at El Paso with a Bachelor of Arts in political science and from the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law with a Juris Doctor degree.
Carrasco currently serves as the Vice President and General Counsel for 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.
“I look forward to advocating for law enforcement and public safety, an education system that works for all children and parents, and policies that support families, small businesses, our local communities, and a thriving economy,” added Carrasco. “It’s time to get to work.”
Carrasco and her husband, Robert, live on the southside of Indianapolis with the daughter, Sarah, and attend St Francis and Clare of Assisi in Greenwood.
Constituents can contact Carrasco by phone at 800-382-9467, by email at Senator.Carrasco@iga.in.gov or by mail at 200 W. Washington St., Indianapolis, IN 46204.
