Lowry
Josh Lowry, a lawyer and Westfield foster parent, announced on Monday he will run for State Representative in District 24. District 24 encompasses parts of Westfield, Carmel, Sheridan, and eastern Boone County.
“I am running for State Representative for the same reason that my wife and I became foster parents,” Lowry said. “I want to provide the children of our community a better life. These years of fostering and adopting have shown me the impact we can have on the community when you decide to take action instead of just hoping things will get better. Unfortunately, we are running out of room to adopt more in our house, but I know I can keep impacting lives for the better as District 24’s State Representative.”
Originally from Martinsville, Ind., Lowry moved to Westfield in 2009 after meeting his wife Alexis at Indiana University in Bloomington. Her family has lived in Westfield for generations, making it the perfect place for him and his wife to start their own family. They started their family in 2018 when they became foster parents. So far they have fostered 12 children and adopted four.
In 2022, Lowry ran for State Senate in District 21.
“Although I came up short, as we knocked on thousands of doors we came across so many Hoosiers that shared the same vision for Indiana – supporting our public schools and amazing teachers, increasing access to affordable healthcare, and growing career opportunities here in Indiana so our kids can grow up and afford to stay,” Lowry said. “And it was all based around one simple principle: Hoosier Hospitality. That is more than just treating others with respect. It means helping those in need. It means showing compassion and kindness to others, even when we disagree. Most importantly, it means that when someone is different from us, we still greet them with open arms and let them know that one Hoosier always has another Hoosier’s back. That is true Hoosier Hospitality. And it’s time to send some true Hoosier Hospitality back to the Statehouse.”
Lowry is a trial attorney who previously spent five years as a Deputy Attorney General practicing constitutional law, where he defended state agencies such as the Department of Child Services and Indiana State Police. He has argued in front of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals and conducted jury trials.
