Wiles
Monday, Noblesville Common Council President Megan G. Wiles announced her intention to run in the Republican caucus to replace Senator Luke Kenley in State Senate District 20.
“Hamilton County has been very fortunate to have Senator Kenley’s leadership at the Statehouse for many years,” said Wiles. “After careful consideration and discussions with my family and several community leaders, I have decided to run for the Indiana District 20 Senate seat.”
Megan Wiles has been an active volunteer with many Hamilton County organizations for decades. “I am seeking this office because I believe it’s important that we have local leaders serving us at the Statehouse who understand the challenges that are facing our communities,” stated Wiles.
Wiles cited her role on the Noblesville Common Council as an important perspective to take to the Indiana General Assembly. “I understand how Statehouse decisions affect local communities and our citizens,” explained Wiles. “I am committed to listening to diverse points of view and ultimately making decisions I believe are in the best interest of our community and our State.”
Stating her priorities, Wiles continued, “I intend to focus on job creation, keeping taxes low, and making sure our growing schools and communities have the resources they need.”
The Indiana Republican State Committee will oversee the caucus as Republican precinct committee members will vote to select the next State Senator for District 20. “I look forward to talking with the precinct committeemen and women, as well as voters of District 20, to discuss their priorities and how I may use my experience and skills to best serve this district and the State of Indiana,” Wiles concluded.
