Fishers-area residents will have an opportunity this week to voice their opinions on proposed off-cycle congressional redistricting at a public listening session hosted by ReCenter Indiana Inc.

The session will take place from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 13, at Geist Christian Church, 12756 Promise Road in Fishers. The event is free and open to the public, though advance registration is requested through Eventbrite.

This is the third and final stop in a series of statewide listening sessions organized by ReCenter Indiana to gather feedback on redistricting and other voter concerns. Earlier meetings in Martinsville and Beech Grove drew strong opposition to redrawing congressional maps outside the normal census cycle.

The discussion comes as Indiana lawmakers prepare for a special legislative session next month. House Speaker Todd Huston, who represents the Fishers area, and Senate President Pro Tem Rod Bray have called legislators back to the Statehouse at the request of Gov. Mike Braun. Braun, reportedly under pressure from the White House, has urged lawmakers to revise the state’s congressional districts ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. Redistricting typically occurs once a decade following the U.S. census.

Polling suggests most Hoosiers prefer to keep the current congressional map unchanged.

At Thursday’s event, University of Indianapolis political science professor Laura Merrifield Wilson will provide an overview of the redistricting process before opening the floor for questions and public comment. Participants will also be invited to share other legislative issues they believe deserve attention.

ReCenter Indiana plans to compile feedback from the three listening sessions and share the results with state officials and interested citizens.

Those unable to attend in person can watch a livestream provided by The Indiana Citizen at indianacitizen.org. More details are available at recenterindiana.org.
