tate Sen. Karen Tallian, D-Ogden Dunes, is resigning her seat in the Indiana Senate on Nov. 1, approximately one year before her current four-year term expires.

Tallian, 70, submitted her resignation letter Thursday to Senate President Rod Bray, R-Martinsville, shortly before the Republican-controlled chamber began debating the once-a-decade redistricting proposal in House Bill 1581.

"After 16 years I've had enough," Tallian said. "I'm at a point in my life where I want to use my remaining energy to produce more immediate results."

Her departure means the Democratic precinct committeemen in Senate District 4, which includes northern Porter County and a strip of LaPorte County running from the Lake Michigan shoreline south to Westville, will select a new senator in coming weeks to complete Tallian's term.

That person, as the incumbent, likely will have a leg up over any competition when the Senate seat is on the ballot in 2022 for a full term.

Tallian said her decision to leave the Senate has nothing to do with the legislative redistricting plan that's set to win final approval by the General Assembly Friday.
