Catherine Torzewski has officially filed paperwork to run for Indiana State Senate District 31 in the Democratic primary election.

Torzewski is a local Realtor, small business owner and mother of two who lives in the Geist area. Senate District 31 includes Fishers, Geist and parts of Lawrence.

In her campaign, Torzewski said she is focusing on affordability and accessibility in health care and housing, addressing the overall cost of living in Indiana, fully funding public education, and ensuring teachers and public schools have adequate resources.

“I believe we can do more for our families, our children and our communities,” Torzewski said in a statement. “The quality of life in Indiana has continued to diminish under 20 years of Republican super majority rule. This district is purple and ready to flip for a candidate that can do more and deliver results. I’ve worked in this community, I’m raising my children here, I’m fully invested and ready to work hard for the voters of Senate District 31.”

Torzewski is one of three Democrats who have announced campaigns in the primary race. Kerry Forestal and Lasima Packett have also announced they are seeking the Democratic nomination for the District 31 seat.

Indiana’s primary election is scheduled for May 5, 2026.
