INDIANAPOLIS – State Senator Chip Perfect (R-Lawrenceburg) is resigning from the Indiana Senate.
Perfect released a statement on Wednesday regarding his resignation effective September 26.
"I have had the honor to serve as senator of Senate District 43 for nearly nine years and have made the difficult decision to resign my position. It is a challenge to balance public service with business, personal and family obligations, as each of those responsibilities has grown recently and it feels like a disservice to the people of my district when I cannot fully give the Indiana Senate the focus it requires.
"I have enjoyed my time in public service, met so many good people and learned so much. It has been a very rewarding and fulfilling experience.
"Again, thank you to everyone for the privilege of serving the people of Indiana."
Aside from serving as a State Senator, Perfect also severs as chair of the Senate Committee on Commerce and Technology and ranking member of the Senate Committee on Utilities. He also serves on the Senate committees on Agriculture, Natural Resources and Pensions and Labor. During his tenure, Perfect tackled topics including data security, administrative rulemaking, and career and technical education.
He is also the president and CEO of Perfect North Slopes, which he has operated for the last 42 years.
Perfect’s resignation will leave a vacancy in Senate District 43, which includes Dearborn, Jefferson, Ohio, Scott and Switzerland counties, and portions of Jennings County.
