STATEHOUSE (Nov. 22, 2022) – Craig Haggard of Mooresville took the oath of office today to serve as state representative for House District 57.

Indiana Supreme Court Chief Justice Loretta H. Rush administered the oath to all House lawmakers during a swearing-in ceremony in the House Chamber of the Statehouse during Organization Day, which formally kicked off the 2023 legislative session.

Haggard, a veteran, works as a commercial broker and is a small-business owner. He formerly served as the Indiana field representative for the National Rifle Association for six years.

"I've spent most of my life serving our country and community, and I'm incredibly blessed to be able to extend that service to the Statehouse," Haggard said. "My goal is to represent the voices of House District 57 while supporting commonsense policies and conservative Hoosier values. I'm excited to get to work and build on Indiana's track record of success."

Haggard previously served in the U.S. Marines as an AV8B Harrier Aviator for 11 years. He was honorably discharged in 2000 and transitioned to the Indiana Air National Guard, serving as an active guard reserve member for 11 more years. Haggard flew the F16 Viper and was commander of Headquarters Detachment One at Camp Atterbury. He retired as a lieutenant colonel in 2013.

Haggard resides in his hometown of Mooresville with his wife, Brooke, and children, Isabella, Eleyna, Aidan and Ian. His memberships include Veterans of Foreign Wars, the American Legion and the NRA.
