Rep. Lindauer honored by Indiana House for nine years of service
Members of the Indiana House of Representatives recently honored retiring State Rep. Shane Lindauer (R-Jasper) for his service representing House District 63.
“Being trusted by my community to represent them at the Statehouse has been one of the greatest honors of my life,” Lindauer said. “Every decision I made in this role was grounded in the values I was raised with: faith, service and responsibility. I’m very proud of the work I’ve done on behalf of Hoosiers in Dubois, Daviess, Martin and Pike counties. I’m grateful for the relationships and friendships this job has given me.”
Lindauer was appointed to the Indiana House of Representatives on Nov. 1, 2017, filling the remainder of Mike Braun’s term. Prior to his service in the General Assembly, Lindauer served on the Dubois County Council from 2010 to 2014. He also served honorably in both the Indiana and Missouri Army National Guard.
During his legislative tenure, Lindauer held key leadership roles, including chair of the House Natural Resources Committee and as a member of the House Roads and Transportation Committee. He was also appointed to the White River State Park Development Commission.
“Shane has been a trusted leader and dedicated advocate for the people of House District 63,” said House Speaker Todd Huston (R-Fishers). “His genuine commitment to serving others and supporting Hoosier families, small businesses and fellow veterans has made a meaningful difference. We are grateful for his service and wish him and his family all the best in his next chapter.”
In 2024, Lindauer was given the Guardian of Small Business Award by the National Federation of Independent Business for supporting policies that strengthen small businesses, such as legislation he authored this year, incentivizing public contractors to utilize Indiana business resources. In 2021, he authored House Bill 1004, a House Republican priority bill that expanded the Hoosier Hospitality Small Business Restart Grant Program to help these entrepreneurs recoup some of their pandemic-related economic losses.
“This chapter of my life has been so incredibly meaningful,” Lindauer said. “I’m excited for what’s ahead, especially the chance to spend more time with my family and stay involved in serving my community in ways that matter.”
Lindauer received a Bachelor of Science in industrial supervision technology from Indiana State University and a Doctor of Chiropractic and Bachelor of Science in health and human sciences from Logan College of Chiropractic. He now owns and operates his own chiropractic practice, is a member of Redemption Christian Church, and has mentored young people and supported local organizations, including serving as a Cub Scout den leader.
He and his wife Stacey have two sons, Tyler and Colton.
