Background
Mark Genda, a Republican from Frankfort, has represented House District 41 since first being elected in 2022; the district includes portions of southeastern Tippecanoe, Clinton, and Boone counties (Source 3). He has described his years of experience as a funeral director and owner as providing the skills to navigate legislative complexity, and has said he felt "called to run" for the seat (Source 3). In the 2024 cycle, Genda faced a Republican primary challenge from Joe Sturm before advancing to the general election (Source 3).
Positions
Fiscal responsibility
SupportGenda voted YES on SB 1 (2025), the property-tax relief bill, indicating support for returning money to taxpayers. He voted NO on HB 1032 (December 2025), the mid-cycle redistricting bill, which was opposed by fiscal conservatives as government overreach (Source 7). No direct public statement on spending philosophy was found beyond these votes.
Limited government
SupportGenda's NO vote on HB 1032 (the mid-cycle redistricting bill) aligns with limited-government principles by opposing legislative self-entrenchment (Source 7). No additional direct statements on the scope of government were found in his 2024 primary Q&A or other public sources (Source 3).
Second Amendment
SupportGenda voted YES on HB 1084 (2024), the Firearms Financial Transactions Privacy Act, which prohibits financial institutions from categorically flagging firearm purchases (Source 11). He did not serve in 2022 so HB 1296 (constitutional carry) is not applicable.
Pro-life issues
No public position foundNo public position found on pro-life issues. SB 236 (2026) — abortion-inducing drug ban — vote was not retrievable in sources consulted for this candidate individually.
