Suzanne Fortenberry is a working-class Hoosier by choice, small business owner, and candidate for Indiana House District 57. Born and raised on a Louisiana cotton farm, she has spent more than 28 years working at FedEx while building a successful engraving business, and running a volunteer-led non-profit.
Suzanne believes government should put People, Service, and Profit—in that order. She believes elected officials should answer to the people they represent, not corporate donors, which is why she refuses campaign contributions from people she doesn't personally know. She believes corporations should pay their fair share of taxes so the tax burden can be reduced for working Hoosiers and their families.
Suzanne is running to fight for working families, strengthen public education, protect individual freedoms, lower taxes on everyday Hoosiers, and ensure every community has a strong voice at the Statehouse.

Hi, I am Dr. Chele Heid and I am running for Johnson County Council District 4. I serve on the Johnson County Board of Health, serve as President of the Johnson County Public Library Foundation, and volunteer as the treasurer of the county party. I am a Physical Therapist, an owner of Equality Engraving, and a retired firefighter and EMT.
I believe our tax dollars should support libraries, public schools, our local first responders / police / fire personnel, and contribute to a high quality of life. And I believe our local representatives should be paying attention. What happens at the state level impacts our local government - and our current council members clearly were not paying attention during the Indiana General Assembly legislative sessions in 2025 and 2026. Informed leadership is one thing that has been missing. I am ready to fill that void.
