INDIANA, Ind. (WLFI) - Every ten years the Indiana State Legislature redraws the district lines for local and federal elected officials.
Leaders at the statehouse will face that task once again during this legislative session.
This will be an extremely busy year for our elected leaders here at the Indiana Statehouse. They have to pass a new budget, they have the COVID-19 pandemic to respond to, on top of redrawing all of Indiana s districts. This may be the item they address this year with the most long term consequence, because those district lines won t be looked at again until 2031.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) - In the middle of a global pandemic, how are state lawmakers preparing for another legislative session?
Representative Tonya Pfaff said the goal behind her proposed legislation is to help people; those within the 43rd District, which she represents, and those beyond those district lines. I just want to help people, Pfaff said.
Pfaff and Senator Jon Ford have less than a month to prepare their proposed legislation for the 2021 legislative session, which kicks off in Indianapolis on January 4.
2021 is a budget year, and both Pfaff and Ford mentioned specific issues they hope can find a prominent place in the state s budget.
