“My career in education has given me tremendous opportunities to work and serve our wonderful communities. We have great schools, natural beauty, and friendly people. Lafayette and West Lafayette are two of the greatest cities in the country in which one can raise a family: they're ‘All-American’ cities. It is an honor and a privilege to serve the people of this district at the Indiana House of Representatives in Indianapolis.”— State Rep. Sheila Klinker
