Submitted by Office of State Senator Scott Baldwin
Three local college students are serving as interns for the Indiana Senate Majority Caucus during the 2026 legislative session, said State Sen. Scott Baldwin (R-Noblesville).
Audrey Donaldson, a resident of Carmel, is the daughter of Andrew and Andrea Donaldson. Donaldson graduated from Bishop Chatard High School and is a junior at Indiana University Indianapolis studying psychology and human resources management.
Salil Gupta, a resident of Noblesville, is the son of Mona and Vineet Gupta. Gupta graduated from Noblesville High School and is pursuing his dual MD-MBA degree at the Indiana University School of Medicine and Kelley School of Business.
Leo Martinez, a resident of Carmel, is the son of Francisco and Gladys Martinez. Martinez is a senior at Indiana University Indianapolis studying political science and philosophy.
“It’s always exciting to have the opportunity to see my fellow community members working here at the Statehouse and gaining valuable professional experience,” Baldwin said. “With 2026 being a short legislative session, these interns play a crucial role in helping our days run smoothly. They are a great help to us serving all Hoosiers, and I look forward to seeing what they will accomplish in the future.”
As legislative interns, Donaldson, Gupta, and Martinez track and analyze bill data, provide constituent services, staff Senate committee hearings and meetings, and conduct legislative policy research.
“I am very excited for this opportunity to assist the senators and legislative assistants of Indiana whose hard work is the cornerstone of our great state,” Donaldson said.
“It is an honor to serve the district where I was born and raised and the entire state of Indiana while studying medicine and business in school,” Gupta said.
“I am happy to have the opportunity to play a small part in assisting these senators as they work hard to serve the Hoosiers they represent,” Martinez said.
Senate Majority interns work through the duration of the legislative session, which is scheduled to conclude by the end of February.
