(Indianapolis, IN) – Indiana Republican Party Chairwoman Anne Hathaway has called a caucus to fill the upcoming vacancy in Senate District 43.
The caucus will take place on Tuesday, September 12 at 7 p.m. at the Dillsboro Civic Center to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of State Sen. Chip Perfect (R-Lawrenceburg).
He announced last week that he is stepping down, citing the growing pressures of balancing his legislative duties with business, personal, and family obligations.
Perfect has represented Senate District 43 for nearly nine years.
The district includes Dearborn, Ohio, Switzerland, Jefferson, and Scott counties and portions of Jennings County.
For the past 42 years, he and his family have operated the popular skiing destination Perfect North Slopes, where he serves as President and CEO.
The caucus winner will fill the remainder of the office’s unexpired term, which runs through 2026.
Those interested in running in the caucus should contact the Secretary of the Indiana Republican Party to ensure they file the proper forms prior to the deadline, which is 72 hours prior to the vote.
The state GOP says a live stream will be available for members of the public who wish to watch the caucus proceedings.
