Todd Huston was first elected to the Indiana House in 2012.  Soon, you will be addressing him as Speaker Huston.

The Indiana House Republican caucus voted Huston as speaker-elect Monday.  Current Speaker Brian Bosma will continue in the Speaker’s Chair for the 2020 session.  Huston is expected to take the gavel after the session is over, according to Indianapolis Business Journal Statehouse reporter Lindsey Erdody.

Bosma has served longer than any other Indiana Speaker.

Huston served as co-chair of the powerful House Ways & Means Committee in the last legislative session.  That panel was instrumental in fashioning the state’s two-year budget, and was heavily involved in gambling issues, such as Terre Haute’s proposed new casino and the introduction of sports wagering in Indiana.

His district covers the City of Fishers.
