On Monday, Noblesville native Scott Baldwin announced he is running for the Republican nomination for State Senate District 20.
Baldwin is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran with more than 25 years of military and law enforcement experience. After his Marine service during Operation Desert Storm, he served as an officer with the Indiana Department of Corrections where he helped launch the first Special Emergency Response Team.
Baldwin then served as a patrol officer, field training supervisor and detective supervisor with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) for more than a decade where he earned two Medals of Bravery and a Medal of Valor. When Operation Enduring Freedom began, Baldwin returned to Afghanistan to assist Marine Corps personnel. He later volunteered his time as a reserve detective with the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office.
Baldwin is also a successful entrepreneur and business owner who has owned or helped grow dozens of companies in the IT, real estate, construction and security sectors. He is the owner and President of Envoy, Inc., a construction and real estate development firm.
“I’ve dedicated my life and career to serving our country and community, through my background in the military, law enforcement and public safety, to building and growing businesses in central Indiana,” Baldwin said. “As Senator serving the residents of District 20, I will champion commonsense, conservative leadership to help build our economy and grow jobs, promote fiscal responsibility, improve public safety and ensure Hamilton County continues to thrive.”
Baldwin has already earned endorsements from Noblesville Mayor Chris Jensen, Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness, Hamilton County Commissioner Steve Dillinger and 17 other local elected officials within Hamilton County.
“With a history of public service and as an active member of the Noblesville community, Scott Baldwin will be an incredible State Senator who will listen to and serve the needs of our residents well,” said Jensen.
“Scott Baldwin is an entrepreneur with a track record of success who will bring an important perspective to the state legislature,” said Fadness.
Baldwin is an active member of the community, serving on the Hamilton County Health Board and Hamilton County Redevelopment Commission and he is a former board member of Crime Stoppers, Riverview Hospital and Food Rescue.
Baldwin is a member of the American Legion and a lifetime member of the VFW and the NRA. He is an avid outdoorsman, fisherman and bow hunter. He lives in Noblesville with his wife Jaime and their three children, Grace, Luke and Elyse. They attend Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church where Scott serves on the Parish Finance Council.
