Sarah Blessing

Fighting for families, schools, and small towns in District 70.

Teacher. Neighbor. Advocate for rural Indiana.

Our district deserves leadership that puts people before politics and families before special interests.
Why I'm running

Leadership that listens

After 18 years in Southern Indiana classrooms, I know what our families need: strong public schools, rural healthcare you can count on, and a government that works for working people — not special interests.

Protect Public Schools

Fully fund our schools, respect our teachers, and make sure every child in District 70 has the resources to succeed.

Strengthen Rural Communities

Keep local hospitals open and make sure Hoosiers across our district have access to doctors and affordable care.

Support Local Businesses

Back the small businesses and family farms that are the backbone of our economy — with fair rules and real opportunity.

About District 70

Our corner of Southern Indiana

District 70 is home to more than 67,000 Hoosiers across parts of Harrison, Washington, and Floyd counties — including Corydon, Palmyra, Greenville, and the rural communities in between.

Agriculture, small businesses, and manufacturing keep our local economy strong. Good schools and tight-knit communities keep it a place worth raising a family. I'm running to make sure state government reflects those values.
