Members of the Indiana House of Representatives have recognized retiring State Representative Shane Lindauer (R-Jasper) for his nine years representing House District 63. Lindauer reflected on his time in office, stating, “Being trusted by my community to represent them at the Statehouse has been one of the greatest honors of my life. 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 began his legislative career after being appointed to fill Mike Braun’s term on November 1, 2017. Before joining the General Assembly, he served on the Dubois County Council from 2010 to 2014 and also held positions in both the Indiana and Missouri Army National Guard.
During his tenure at the Statehouse, Lindauer chaired the House Natural Resources Committee and served as a member of the House Roads and Transportation Committee. He was also part of the White River State Park Development Commission.
House Speaker Todd Huston (R-Fishers) commented on Lindauer’s impact: “Shane has been a trusted leader and dedicated advocate for the people of House District 63. 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.” Huston leads the Indiana House with an emphasis on financial stewardship, educational opportunities, public safety measures, tax relief initiatives, school choice advocacy—including expansion of Indiana’s Choice Scholarship program—and draws upon experience from local governance roles according to information available on the official website. He resides in Fishers with his wife Denise; they have two adult children.
Lindauer received recognition from business groups during his time as representative. In 2024 he was awarded Guardian of Small Business by the National Federation of Independent Business for supporting policies that benefit small companies. He authored legislation encouraging public contractors to use Indiana business resources and sponsored House Bill 1004 in 2021—a priority bill expanding grants to help small businesses recover pandemic-related losses.
Reflecting further on leaving office, Lindauer said: “This chapter of my life has been so incredibly meaningful. 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.”
Outside politics, Lindauer holds degrees from Indiana State University (B.S., industrial supervision technology) as well as Logan College of Chiropractic (Doctorate in Chiropractic; B.S., health/human sciences). He operates a chiropractic practice locally and participates actively within Redemption Christian Church while mentoring youth through organizations such as Cub Scouts. Lindauer lives with his wife Stacey; they have two sons.
