Hamilton County Councilman Fred Glynn is considering a run for state legislature in the newly-created House District 32. Glynn, a 19-year resident of Carmel, says he has not made a decision, but has been “talking to people” in the Republican Party about the possibility.

To date there has been no one announcing intentions to run in the district, which includes portions of Clay and Delaware townships and a few precincts in northern Marion County. The district leans Republican, but with no incumbent is considered by political experts to be competitive.
Glynn was elected to the County Council in 2014 and re-elected in 2018. He made a spirited, but unsuccessful run for Carmel mayor against incumbent Jim Brainard in the 2019 GOP primary. The councilman considers himself a conservative.
He is a graduate of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and claims experience in banking and insurance. Glynn and his wife are parents of one daughter, and he is a member of St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic Church in Carmel.
Filing for the legislature begins on Jan. 8 for the May 2022 primary with the winner advancing to the November general election. Glynn’s term on the council ends on Dec. 31, 2022.
