Last Updated on November 23, 2025 by Cass County Communication Network

State Sen. Stacey A. Donato (R-Logansport) gathered with fellow legislators Tuesday at the Statehouse for Organization Day – the ceremonial start of the Indiana General Assembly.

Organization Day marks the annual first roll call of all state lawmakers. This day also provides members of the Senate and House of Representatives with the opportunity to meet before session officially reconvenes on Jan. 5. By state law, the 2026 session will conclude on or before March 14.

“I always enjoy reuniting with my fellow lawmakers at the Statehouse to continue serving and representing my constituents in District 18,” Donato said. “We worked diligently this interim to find ways to address the topics that are most important to Hoosiers, and I look forward to getting started this session.”

As the 2026 session gets underway, Donato encourages residents of Senate District 18 to contact her with any questions or comments they may have. Donato can be reached by filling out a “Contact Me” form online at www.IndianaSenateRepublicans.com/Donato or by phone at 800-382-9467.
