State Sen. Janis Ringhand (D-Evansville) announced that she will not be seeking re-election to another term as Senator of the 15th District.
Ringhand, who is the current Assistant Minority Leader, was first elected to the State Senate in 2014. She was previously a member of the Assembly between 2011 and 2015 and the Mayor of Evansville between 2002 and 2006.
“I will always be grateful for the support people have shown throughout the years. I will miss the back-and-forth exchanges with my colleagues at the Capitol and helping folks back home,” Ringhand said.
Rep. Mark Spiretzer (D-Beloit) and Sen. Melissa Agard (D-Madison) released statements in honor of Ringhand’s retirement and career in the Legislature.
