(Ogden Dunes, IN) - A state lawmaker who represents part of LaPorte County has announced her resignation.
Democrat Karen Tallian of Ogden Dunes announced Thursday that she would resign her State Senate seat effective November 1.
Tallian, who has held the position for 16 years, has one year left in her term.
She did not give a reason for the resignation in a public statement but recently spoke of her frustration with Indiana’s Republican-controlled legislative process. Republicans hold a nearly 80% majority in the State Senate.
Democratic precinct committee members in the 4th district will select a new senator for next year’s legislative session.
