Sullivan sworn in as State Representative for House District 78

STATEHOUSE – State Representative Holli Sullivan (R-Evansville) was sworn in today by Indiana Supreme Court Chief Justice Mark Massa to serve House District 78. She will fulfill the remaining term of former State Rep. Suzanne Crouch who resigned from her seat earlier this month to serve as the new Indiana Auditor of State.

Rep. Sullivan was joined at the ceremony by her husband Chad, their three children Dalton, Savannah and Sawyer and her parents Homer and Ann Fruit.

“The opportunity to serve our community at the Statehouse is quite an honor,” said Rep. Sullivan. “Getting sworn in on the first day of session is an exciting experience I can honestly say I will never forget. The next few months will be an exciting challenge, and I look forward to collaborating with and learning from my fellow legislators in order to best represent House District 78 on the issues that matter most. Suzanne Crouch did an amazing job representing our district and set a great example for me to follow.”

Rep. Sullivan graduated from the University of Missouri and is an industrial engineer and owner of Onward Consulting, LLC. She is a graduate of the Richard G. Lugar Excellence in Public Service series and a board member of the Minority/Women’s Business Enterprises Board. Before starting her own business, Rep. Sullivan worked in management at General Motors and Toyota.

Rep. Sullivan will serve on the Elections and Apportionment Committee, the Insurance Committee and the Select Committee on Government Reduction.

Speaker of the House Brian C. Bosma (R-Indianapolis) was also present at the swearing in ceremony held in the House Chamber today.

“I have no doubt that Rep. Sullivan will serve District 78 with passion and fortitude. Her technical background and experience as a small business owner are great additions to our caucus, and I look forward to having the opportunity to use her expertise to keep Indiana moving forward,” said Speaker Bosma.
