My name is Kristina Moorhead, and I’m running for Indiana State Senate District 29 because I believe government works best when it listens to—and understands—the people it serves. I didn’t set out to work in politics, but a debate tournament at Ball State unexpectedly sparked a lifelong passion for public policy and its power to shape real lives. After earning a Master of Public Affairs from Indiana University-Indianapolis, I went on to serve in state government, including as a Deputy Director of the Indiana Office of Medicaid Policy and Planning. Over the past 20 years, I’ve worked on health policy in 23 states — inside government, with AARP, in the private sector, and as a consultant — giving me a clear view of what works, what doesn’t, and how decisions at the Statehouse affect families every day.

I’m a lifelong Hoosier who grew up on the east side of Indianapolis and in New Palestine, raised by parents who taught me the value of community, hard work, and showing up for others. Today, I’m a wife and mom of three. On the weekends, you can find me cheering on my kids from the sidelines, coaching youth sports, or enjoying our beautiful city and state parks with my family.

I’m running for State Senate to bring common sense, compassion, and real-world experience to the decisions that shape our future. Indiana deserves leaders who know this state, love it, and are ready to do the work—and I’d be honored to earn your trust and your vote.
