Longtime Republican state Sen. Jack Sandlin, a retired police officer who represented parts of Indianapolis and its southern suburbs, has died at age 72.
Gov. Eric Holcomb called Sandlin “a true public servant.”
“Senator Jack Sandlin was a gentleman who devoted his life to serving others, in public safety on the front lines and in our State Senate. His clear voice and integrity will be missed,” Holcomb said in a statement. Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray, R-Martinsville, said Sandlin was “a strong advocate for the people of Central Indiana and a champion of Indianapolis.”A caucus of Republican precinct committee members from Senate District 36 will choose Sandlin’s replacement for a term that runs through 2024. The details of that caucus have not been determined, said Marion County Republican Party Chairman Joe Elsener.
