Background

Cindy Ledbetter (R) has represented HD-75 since November 4, 2020, after winning election that fall (Sources 4, 5). She is a psychiatric nurse practitioner with over 34 years of medical, business, and administrative experience, and is currently pursuing her doctorate (Sources 3, 5). She earned a Master of Science and Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Southern Indiana and an Associate Degree in Nursing from Ivy Tech Community College (Source 2). Prior to her legislative service, she served on the Warrick County Council (Source 4). HD-75 covers portions of Gibson, Pike, and Warrick counties in southwest Indiana (Source 2). She faces no primary or general-election opposition in 2026 (Source 3).

Positions

Fiscal responsibility

Support

Ledbetter voted YES on SB 1 (2025), the $1.3 billion property tax relief bill (Source 6). She also voted YES on SB 1 (2026), the Medicaid/SNAP immigration-verification measure (Source 11). The Freedom Index gives her a cumulative 53% score, reflecting partial but not full alignment with pro-liberty fiscal positions. The Indiana Scorecard ranked her 11th among House Republicans in 2022 with a score of 59.

Limited government

No public position found

Ledbetter voted YES on HB 1032 (2025 special session), the mid-cycle redistricting bill that passed the House 57–41 (Source 5). The Freedom Index records a 53% cumulative score. No direct statement, pledge, or questionnaire response specifically addressing limited-government philosophy beyond that vote was located.

Second Amendment

Strong support

Ledbetter voted YES on HB 1296 (2022), the constitutional carry / permitless carry bill (Source 10). She voted YES on HB 1084 (2024), the Second Amendment Privacy Act (Source 7). Both votes reflect a consistent strong-support record on Second Amendment legislation.
