(Statehouse) – Alex Zimmerman (R-North Vernon) was administered the oath of office by Indiana Supreme Court Chief Justice Loretta Rush Tuesday in the House Chamber at the Statehouse to serve as state representative for House District 67, which includes portions of Ripley. Decatur, Jefferson, and Jennings counties.

Zimmerman was accompanied by his wife, Kayla. He replaces former State Rep. Randy Frye (R-Greensburg), who resigned earlier this month.

The new state representative will serve the remainder of Frye’s unexpired term, which runs through late 2024.

“It’s a great honor to represent Southeast Indiana, and I’m excited to bring our voices and ideas to the Statehouse,” Zimmerman said. “I’m dedicated to investing in our local communities and drawing younger Hoosiers to the area, and I also want to continue Indiana’s strong record of supporting our law enforcement.”

Zimmerman currently works as an attorney in North Vernon.

His career began as a legislative assistant for the Indiana Senate at the Statehouse, and he later earned a Juris Doctor from the Robert H. McKinney School of Law.

In 2020, he became a deputy majority attorney for the Senate.

Zimmerman was chosen to serve as state rep at a recent Indiana Republican Party caucus in Versailles.

The Zimmermans reside in North Vernon with their son, Liam, and both practice law at their family-owned legal firm serving Jennings County and Southeastern Indiana.
