Yoder Letters
Shelli Yoder announces run for State Senate District 40 Jan. 25, 2020 - The Herald Times by Ernest Rollins Former Monroe County Council woman Shelli Yoder announced Friday she is running for Indiana Senate. Yoder, a Democrat, is running to represent District 40 in the Indiana Senate. Incumbent Democrat Mark Stoops announced last year that he will not be seeking reelection to the seat. District 40 encompasses most of Monroe County. “I am grateful for the many neighbors throughout Monroe County who have encouraged me and who have inspired this people-powered campaign,” Yoder said in a news release. “My experience as an educator and nonprofit executive, and my record of getting results on the Monroe County Council, equips me to be the strong voice and fierce advocate our community deserves in the Senate.” Yoder served as the District 1 representative on the Monroe County Council from 2013 to 2019. Yoder resigned from the council because she was moving out of the district she represented. Along with serving on the council, she has also served on the boards of the Head Start Policy Council, Indiana South Central Community Action Program, Fleet Financing and Energy Commission, Bloomington Economic Development Corporation, and the Greater Bloomington Chamber of Commerce. In addition, Yoder served on the Monroe County Women’s Commission, Hoosier Women Forward board of advisors, staff at First United Church, and the inaugural Monroe County Opioid Commission, which was recently renamed the Monroe County Substance Use Disorder Taskforce. She also co-chaired the first South Central Indiana Opioid Summit. Yoder is currently a lecturer in the Indiana University Kelley School of Business. -
