(Indianapolis, IN) – Former state senator Karen Tallian will lead the Indiana Democratic Party after winning election as chair over the weekend.
Tallian represented Senate District 4 in the Indiana Senate from December 2005 to November 2021. That district included parts of Porter, LaPorte and Lake counties.
Tallian, who is from Ogden Dunes, also served as Democratic Caucus Chair from 2016 to 2020.
Also elected to four-year terms by the State Central Committee were:
- Alex Nyirendah (Vice Chair)
- Erin Retif (Secretary)
- Michael Griffin (Treasurer)
“I am honored and humbled by the State Central Committee’s confidence in me to serve as Indiana Democratic Party Chair,” said Tallian. “As we move forward, it is our job as Democrats to both reunite internally and reunite with the working Hoosiers who may feel left behind by the
Party in recent years. I am ready to get to work electing Democrats up and down the ballot.”
