State Representative Victoria Garcia Wilburn (D-Fishers), representing the western area of Fishers, has been appointed to three House committees for the upcoming 2025 legislative session: Employment, Labor and Pensions; Judiciary; and Public Health. Garcia Wilburn will serve as the ranking member of the Judiciary Committee.
“I’m honored to return to the Judiciary Committee this year, this time in a new leadership role,” said Garcia Wilburn. “As ranking member, I look forward to working with my colleagues from both sides of the aisle to make our legal system more efficient for Hoosiers.”
In addition to her Judiciary Committee leadership, Garcia Wilburn will continue her service on the Employment, Labor and Pensions Committee, where she aims to advocate for Indiana workers and retirees.
“Workers deserve living wages and safe working conditions,” she said. “Our public retirees, including law enforcement officers and teachers, deserve the peace of mind that a pension provides after a lifetime of contributing to our state. I will be serving this committee with these Hoosiers in mind.”
Garcia Wilburn will also join the Public Health Committee, reflecting her ongoing commitment to addressing health disparities and improving wellness across Indiana.
“As a new member of the Public Health Committee, I hope to highlight the great work Hamilton County is already doing to prioritize public health and help incorporate some of these strategies statewide,” she said. “Even though Indiana has made progress on issues like overdose rates, Hoosiers remain more likely than the average American to face challenges like heart disease and diabetes. It doesn’t have to be this way.”
The 2025 legislative session is set to convene on January 8, with key issues like public health, labor rights, and judicial reform expected to be central to the agenda. Garcia Wilburn’s leadership and committee roles position her to play a critical part in shaping policies that impact Hoosiers across the state.
