Democratic Indiana state Rep. Rita Fleming, who has served the Jeffersonville area since 2018, is retiring — and has stated intent to vacate her office immediately.
Indiana state Rep. Rita Fleming announced Monday that she is retiring, citing a desire to spend more time with her family. The Democratic lawmaker from Jeffersonville in southern Indiana was first elected to the statehouse in 2018. Fleming's statement said she is leaving office immediately. 'I have 15 grandchildren, and they and the rest of my family are my priority,' Fleming said in a statement.
Fleming was facing a rematch in the general election against Republican Scott Hawkins, who she narrowly beat in 2022 by a margin of about one point. A caucus will chose her replacement on the November ballot. Fleming was the the ranking minority member of the insurance committee and served on the natural resources and public health committees.
As a retired physician with decades of experience under her belt, Rita’s empathy, care and firsthand insights helped her improve Indiana’s public health and healthcare policy,' House Democratic leader state Rep. Phil GiaQuinta said in a statement.
