Zimmerman sworn in as District 67 State Rep

Zimmerman replaces former State Rep. Randy Frye

(INDIANAPOLIS) -- Indiana's newest lawmaker was sworn in to office at the Statehouse on Tuesday.

Alex Zimmerman was selected as District 67 State Representative during a special caucus in Ripley County last week.

Zimmerman lives in North Vernon and replaces former State Rep. Randy Frye, of Greensburg, and will fill his remaining term.

"It's a great honor to represent Southeast Indiana, and I'm excited to bring our voices and ideas to the Statehouse," Zimmerman said. "I'm dedicated to investing in our local communities and drawing younger Hoosiers to the area, and I also want to continue Indiana's strong record of supporting our law enforcement."

Zimmerman currently works as an attorney in North Vernon. His career began as a legislative assistant for the Indiana Senate at the Statehouse, and he later earned a Juris Doctor from the Robert H. McKinney School of Law.
