The Honorable Tiffanie A. Hill Ditlevson, Fishers City Councilor At-Large, decorated Air Force combat veteran, entrepreneur, and community advocate, announced Wednesday, Dec. 10 the formation of an exploratory committee to consider a campaign for the Indiana State Senate District 31 seat vacated by Senator Kyle Walker.
“Kyle Walker has served with integrity, thoughtfulness, and a deep commitment to delivering real results for Hoosier families,” Ditlevson said. “I’m deeply surprised and saddened to see him step away, and I honor his service to our community. After the November 2020 caucus for this seat, Senator Walker encouraged me to stay active in politics, and I remain grateful for his guidance and kindness.”
Ditlevson emphasized that District 31 deserves strong, relatable, service-driven leadership that reflects its diversity. Following encouragement from community leaders and residents across the district, she is giving serious consideration to entering the race.
“Serving District 31 has been a goal since 2020,” she said. “My entire 18 years in Indiana have been rooted in living in Fishers, being a working mom, attending church at St. Matthew in Indianapolis, helping families in crisis, and making connections with Cathedral High School families during my daughter’s cheerleading career. I’m committed to learning, listening, and continuing to improve the lives of Hoosiers.”
