BEDFORD – The Indiana County Commissioners are granting State Representative Chris May, representing Indiana House District 65, the County Commissioners Outstanding Advocate Award.
“I’m honored to receive such an award, especially in recognition of my support for county commissioners across the state,” said Representative May. “As a former county commissioner, I understand firsthand the significant role that commissioners play in county government. I was honored to chair the House Local Government Committee this past session, and I will continue advocating and pushing a policy that elevates local government.”
The County Commissioners Outstanding Advocate Award honors leaders, like May, who have showcased their steadfast commitment to advancing the priorities of county executives across the state. The award recognizes a uniquely high degree of leadership in promoting the important role of local leaders within the state.
“It is a pleasure to present the County Commissioners Outstanding Advocate Award to Representative May,” says the ICC Executive Director, Stephanie Yager. “He is an excellent example of a dedicated advocate for local government, both as a current elected state official and former county commissioner.”
In 2022, Representative May was appointed to serve as the Chair of the House Local Government Committee. Through his leadership on the Committee, he has proven himself a committed advocate for local governments across Indiana, making him a prime candidate for this award.
“Congratulations, Representative May, on this highly distinguished achievement in your career,” says the ICC President and Hamilton County Commissioner Mark Heirbrandt. “As the ICC President and a current county commissioner, I can attest to the hard work and continued success you have achieved thus far.”
The ICC congratulates Representative May and will be announcing more awards to recognize achievements in local government advocacy throughout the month of August.
