Indiana Senate Democratic Caucus Announces Leadership Change Ahead of General Assembly
The Indiana Senate Democratic Caucus has announced a change in leadership as Senator Shelli Yoder, D-Bloomington, was elected as the new Senate minority leader. Yoder, known for her advocacy in reproductive rights, educational access, and health care equity, brings a wealth of experience to her new role.
The leadership change comes a month after Senator Greg Taylor, who represents Indiana’s 33rd District, was reelected as Senate minority leader amid sexual harassment allegations. Three women, all linked to the statehouse, reported being sexually harassed by Taylor, with allegations of unwanted physical contact and pursuit of a romantic relationship. In response, Taylor acknowledged his behavior and apologized for making colleagues uncomfortable.
The caucus expressed gratitude to Senator Greg Taylor for his service as Senate minority leader since 2020, noting his collaborative approach and advocacy for fairness and progress. The leadership change was announced in a news release, with no specific reason given for the transition.
The caucus also addressed the allegations of misconduct within the Statehouse, expressing deep concern and apologizing to those affected. They pledged to propose immediate policy changes and commit to meaningful and lasting reform.
These changes come ahead of the upcoming General Assembly session, with a focus on leadership, advocacy, and addressing issues within the Indiana Senate. The Indiana Senate Democratic Caucus is preparing for a new chapter under the leadership of Senator Shelli Yoder as they look towards the future.
