Veteran Legislator Says 2018 Session Will Be His Last

Indiana Democratic Party Caucus

One of northwest Indiana's veteran state legislators is calling the 2018 General Assembly session as his final session.

Dist. 3 Representative Charlie Brown (D-Gary) made the announcement on Monday, and he came on "Regionally Speaking" on Tuesday to talk about his decision not to seek re-election next year. 

In our extended conversation,  Rep. Brown looks at some of the major issues he's addressed as a legislator, including ones he's personally sponsored like one that led to the creation of the "Healthy Indiana Plan,"  others that have benefited the Region, and a look at what he's going to file for this coming session.

Rep. Brown also talks about his political future after the Indiana Legislature. 

Chris Nolte produces and hosts “Regionally Speaking” aired weekdays from noon to 1:00 p.m. He's also the temporary local "Morning Edition" host.
