Haggard: Reflecting on my time representing House District 57

Posted by: Matt Stachler  | Tuesday, February 10, 2026

Serving the people of House District 57 has been one of the great honors of my life. From the day I was sworn in to the Indiana House of Representatives in 2022, representing portions of Hendricks, Johnson and Morgan counties, I have carried with me the values I learned growing up in Mooresville: hard work, service, and a deep commitment to family and community.

However, my service to this state didn’t begin in the Statehouse. For more than two decades, I proudly served as a Marine Corps aviator and later in the Indiana Air National Guard, retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel in 2013. Those years taught me discipline, leadership and the importance of serving something greater than myself. After retirement, I returned home to Mooresville to raise our children with my wife, Brooke, and to build a career as a small-business owner and commercial broker. I also had the privilege of serving as Indiana field representative for the National Rifle Association for six years, and as a member of the board, advocating for Second Amendment rights on behalf of Hoosiers.
