Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness has endorsed Fishers City Councilor Tiffanie Ditlevson in her campaign for the Indiana State Senate District 31 seat.

The endorsement was announced Thursday in a campaign press release issued by Ditlevson’s campaign.

In the statement, Fadness described Ditlevson as a “proven, results-focused leader” who has demonstrated compassion and consistent engagement with the community.

“Tiffanie is the kind of leader who is consistently engaged with the community she serves,” Fadness said in the release. “She shows up, listens to residents, and works through issues with a compassionate, practical approach. That kind of constituent-focused leadership will serve Fishers well at the Statehouse.”

Ditlevson currently serves as an at-large member of the Fishers City Council. She is also a former U.S. Air Force major and combat veteran. Her campaign has emphasized what she describes as “common-sense conservative leadership,” with priorities that include protecting taxpayers, supporting Indiana families, preserving local control for communities, and ensuring state investments in infrastructure and education deliver value for residents.

“I’m honored to have Mayor Fadness’ support,” Ditlevson said in the campaign statement. “He has led Fishers through tremendous growth while maintaining a strong focus on quality of life, responsible planning, and strong public safety. I’m proud to serve our community alongside him.”

Ditlevson said her campaign is focused on bringing experience and accountability to the Statehouse, noting her background in both military service and public office.

“I’ve been accountable to voters across this community, worked on the local issues that directly affect families and neighborhoods, and led in both military service and public office,” she said. “I’m running to be a strong, credible voice for District 31 and to fight for responsible government, safe communities, and a stronger future for the next generation.”

In the same statement, Ditlevson said she believes she brings a unique set of qualifications to the race, including elected municipal experience and service as a combat veteran.

Indiana Senate District 31 includes portions of Fishers and surrounding areas in Hamilton County. The seat is currently held by Republican Kyle Walker.

Hamilton Southeastern School Board member Juanita Albright is also a candidate in this Republican primary election, along with Travis Hankins and Jan Kepley Keefer.
