Middlebury resident Carlin Yoder recently announced his candidacy for the Indiana District 12 Senate seat being vacated by Marvin Riegsecker.  A life-long resident of Elkhart County, Carlin is passionate about his district and will work hard to solve the pressing issues of property tax relief, growing immigration issues and the restoration of family values within the community.

 

Carlin is a natural leader and logically inspires others to strive for excellence, both by example and communication.  He is currently the administrator at Clinton Christian School, where he has made numerous positive changes since accepting that role.  He has raised enrollment, built camaraderie with employees and students and guided the school through a million dollar gymnasium project, which was completed in January.

 

Carlin is also experienced in business and along with his wife, owns Danceworks Academy, located near Middlebury.  Married for nearly 15 years, Carlin and his wife Jayme have 3 children, Caitlin, 14, Logan 7, and Quinn, 3.  They are also in the process of adopting their fourth child.  They actively attend Sugar Grove Church and are also involved in the community.   

 

Politically, Carlin is resolved in providing an authentic conservative voice to the core issues that need solutions.  He is pro-life and is very supportive of Marriage Amendment Act.  In regard to Property Tax relief, Carlin believes that Indiana must begin working toward the elimination of this tax, taking steps to replace its growing burden on homeowners through assessment caps and the use of spending cuts.  He also supports immigration reform and will strive to find a sensible solution to this growing problem in a way that will not hurt businesses that work toward upholding our current immigration laws.

 

Carlin Yoder is a person who will work hard for Indiana, providing conservatism that is needed in making the decisions that will profoundly affect our state.  He is principled and strong, ready for this challenge.
