Gaskill
Republican State Senator Mike Gaskill announced on Monday he will seek a second term in the Indiana State Senate. He was first elected to the State Senate in 2018 to represent District 26, which was composed of most of Madison County, as well as portions of Delaware and Henry counties.
Following the recent redistricting process, Madison County is now fully contained in the remapped District 25, along with parts of Hamilton County containing all of White River Township and northern portions of Jackson Township. Gaskill resides in Madison County.
“During my first campaign, I promised to strengthen our business climate, to develop a strong Hoosier workforce, to oppose any tax increase, and to help keep our communities safe,” Gaskill said. “I have kept those promises. As a small business owner, I understand the importance of low taxes, so I helped pass legislation to cut the business personal property tax. I also voted for balanced budgets that included record funding for education without increasing taxes. I have worked with my colleagues to implement policies that will improve workforce development throughout the state. In addition, I voted for legislation that will provide funds for improved training and equipment for our law enforcement officers.”
Gaskill currently serves as ranking member of the Senate Committee on Insurance and Financial Institutions. He is also a member of the Senate committees on the Judiciary and Environmental Affairs.
“It has been an honor and a privilege to serve my fellow Hoosiers in the Indiana General Assembly, and I sincerely hope they will allow me to continue represent them for another term,” Gaskill said.
A Pendleton native, Gaskill has strong roots in the district. He graduated from Pendleton Heights High School and Anderson University. Gaskill has owned and operated an insurance and financial services business in Anderson since 1993. Gaskill says he is committed to serving and improving this part of Indiana that he, his wife Kelly, their three children, and seven grandchildren call home.
