Indiana Senate

Hunley did not reveal her future plans in a Friday statement, but there has been ongoing speculation she'll join the race for Indianapolis mayor in 2027.

Lawmakers heard testimony on Wednesday about the importance of needle exchange programs, which give people access to clean syringes for drug use. Data show those programs have helped slow the spread of disease and protect law enforcement, but not everyone is in favor of an extension.

The defeat today in the Indiana Senate, where 40 of the 50 members are Republicans, is the first time Trump's redistricting campaign has been voted down by members of his own party.

Indiana Senators on Wednesday rejected amendments from Democrats as they head toward a final decision on a redistricting bill.

The Indiana Senate gathered Monday to consider the new congressional map passed by the House last week. The map would flip the state's two Democratic congressional seats for Republicans, part of the Trump administration's effort to give Republicans an edge heading into next year's midterm election.

Minutes after the Indiana House confirmed it will return to the Statehouse next week to redistrict, Senate Republicans reversed course and will show up Dec. 8 to “make a final decision on any redistricting proposal sent from the House.”

Numerous lawmakers have been the victims of bomb threats and swatting attempts, as tensions rise over the Senate's decision not to take up redistricting.

Lawmakers discussed redistricting during Tuesday's Organization Day, but ultimately defied Trump's order to pass new maps.

The Indiana Senate announced it won't vote on redistricting ahead of the 2026 legislative session, after Gov. Braun called for a special session. A rally at the Statehouse urged them to do it.

Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray said the Senate will not convene because there are not enough votes in support of redistricting.
