"I am honored to have been chosen to represent Senate District 43," Maxwell said. "I am ready to give more time and commitment back to our communities and look forward to proudly serving Hoosiers at the Statehouse."

A lifelong Hoosier, Maxwell grew up in Logan and graduated from Indiana University (IU) where he played football from 1995-1999 and received degrees in finance-real estate and entrepreneurship from the IU Kelley School of Business.

Mitch Daniels in 2007), Southeast Indiana YMCA Board of Directors, 1Dearborn Economic Development Organization (vice president and founding member) and All Saints Catholic Parish in Dearborn County (former finance council president). He has also coached various local youth organizations for 20 years and his family is a proud supporter of YoungLife in Dearborn County.

"With decades of community involvement and service to speak for, my roots run deep in Southeast Indiana," Maxwell said. "This is why I stand ready to represent our communities' values at the Statehouse and see what more can be done to help our communities continue to grow."

Maxwell and his wife, Robin, are high school sweethearts and have three children – former Purdue University football player Alex, Xavier University student Kyla and East Central High School senior Dylan.
