State Senator's Home Targeted with Bomb Threat

Sen. Leising says the threat is a result of the D.C. political pundits for redistricting.

(Oldenburg, Ind.) - State Senator Jean Leising (R-Oldenburg) says her home was the target of a pipe bomb threat on Saturday evening. 

Leising made a social media post stating that the threat is a result of the D.C. political pundits for redistricting. 

She has made it clear in recent weeks that she does not support early congressional redistricting. The boundaries are typically adjusted every 10 years, using new census data. 

"I would never vote yes on a bill that I did not know the contents of. I will be listening to my constituents and will vote no if there is a vote," said Leising. 

Leising thanked the Oldenburg Town Marshall, the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office and the Indiana State Police for responding to the bomb threat at her home.
