Ron Alting was born and raised in Lafayette to middle-class parents who both worked in local factories. It was from them and his grandparents that he learned the values of hard work, integrity, and personal responsibility. His involvement in church and various sports helped shape him, developing strong leadership skills that were recognized at an early age. From these experiences, Ron developed a sincere desire to help others and give back to his community.
A successful small business owner who is active in the Lafayette community, Ron continued his commitment to service by running for and winning a seat on the city council, where he worked hard to craft policy that was good for both the citizens of Lafayette and for local businesses. After serving for several years on the council, Ron ran for the state senate, where he continues his pledge to represent Hoosiers with honesty and integrity. Ron is recognized for his work in the senate on behalf of Hoosier veterans and for his dedication to limited government, low taxes, and protection of our constitutional rights.
As your state senator, Ron understands that affordability is about whether hardworking Hoosiers can pay their bills and still have money left at the end of the month. Groceries, housing, home utilities and electricity, and healthcare all put pressure on family budgets. Ron is committed to tackling these costs head-on so families aren’t forced to choose between putting food on the table, keeping the lights on, and getting the care they need. Ron, who now lives in Carroll County, is focused on making Indiana a place where his children, grandchildren, and all Hoosiers can afford to live, work, and build a future.
