Republican Randy Head (R-Logansport) announced Wednesday he is seeking a second term representing District 18 in the Indiana State Senate.
“Working each and every day to improve the quality of life for all Hoosiers is my top priority,” Head said. “My job is to ensure Hoosiers’ freedoms are protected – freedom from violent crime, excessive taxes, and infringement of their individual rights.”
A life-long Hoosier, Head is an advocate for victims of violent crime.
He authored legislation to crack down on human trafficking and increase penalties for child solicitation in order to protect children.
His human trafficking legislation, Senate Enrolled Act 4, was signed into law by Governor Daniels just before Super Bowl 46.
In addition, Head is committed to policies that help grow the Indiana economy and create jobs. He authored legislation to help Indiana farmers compete in the global marketplace and he has been named one of the state’s most pro-jobs, pro-economic growth legislators.
“Instead of acting like the federal government and accumulating more debt, we tightened our belt and kept Indiana in the black,” Head said.
Head also works on behalf of agriculture, one of his district’s biggest economic engines.
His efforts gave farmers a voice in creating standards for animal care, streamlined procedures dealing with Purdue’s animal research lab, and increased check-off programs for interested producers.
First elected to represent District 18 in the State Senate in 2008, Head routinely uses his experience as a deputy prosecutor on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
He is also a member of the senate committees on elections, public policy and tax and fiscal policy, and he chaired the Interim Committee on Redistricting.
An advocate of the Second Amendment, he also is committed to policies that support right to self-protection.
Head is past president and currently serves on the board of the Cass County Community Foundation.
He has also been active in other community activities including the Fraternal Order of Police, Indiana Farm Bureau, the Indiana State Bar Association’s Pro Bono Committee and the Logansport Rotary Club.
A graduate of Wabash College and Indiana University, Head and his wife reside in Logansport. They attend Main Street United Methodist Church in Logansport.
Senate District 18 is composed of Cass, Fulton and Miami Counties and portions of Carroll, Kosciusko and Marshall counties.
