Senate Republicans announce leadership team for 124th General Assembly

STATEHOUSE (Nov. 6, 2024) — The Indiana Senate Majority Caucus met today in Indianapolis to elect its leadership team for the 124th General Assembly.

Caucus members voted to re-elect State Sen. Rodric Bray (R-Martinsville) as their choice for Senate President Pro Tempore. In accordance with Senate rules, the Democrat caucus will also weigh in on Bray's selection during the legislature’s official Organization Day on Nov. 19.

State Sen. Chris Garten (R-Charlestown) will continue to serve in his role as Majority Floor Leader, and State Sen. Travis Holdman (R-Markle) will continue his role as Majority Caucus Chairman.

"It is not lost on me that the position of Senate President Pro Tempore is a job that carries a tremendous amount of responsibility, and I am extremely grateful to the members of my caucus who have placed their faith in me to lead this esteemed body," Bray said. "I'm also pleased to continue to have Sens. Holdman and Garten on the leadership team, who have proven themselves to be level-headed and practical leaders in the Senate. My caucus is full of talented leaders, and we are ready to get back to the Statehouse on behalf of Hoosiers as we undertake crafting the state's next budget in the 2025 session."

Lawmakers will gather at the Statehouse on Nov. 19 for Organization Day, the ceremonial start of the 2025 session. Members of the public can view calendars, proposed legislation, livestreamed meetings and more online at iga.in.gov.
