Indiana State Senator Mark Messmer has announced his resignation from the state senate.
The Jasper Republican says he notified senate leadership last week of his plans to resign effective September 3rd to focus his efforts on his upcoming congressional campaign.
Messmer has represented Senate District 48 for 16-years.
The district includes Pike, Gibson, Dubois, Perry, Crawford, and Spencer counties. Prior to 2020, Messmer also represented Knox and Daviess counties.
Messmer will be running against Democrat Erik Hurt and Libertarian Richard Fitzlaff for Indiana’s 8th District Congressional seat in November.
