“We have many exciting opportunities ahead to improve our state,” Alting said. “I look forward to the upcoming session and building upon some of the momentum created in previous sessions.”
Alting joined in the affirmation of Sen. David Long (R-Fort Wayne) as President Pro Tempore and Jennifer Mertz as secretary of the Senate.
