Todd Huston (Republican Party) is a member of the Indiana House of Representatives, representing District 37. He assumed office on November 7, 2012. His current term ends on November 4, 2026.

Huston was elected as speaker of the House in March 2020. He replaced former speaker Brian Bosma (R), who stepped down from the role at the end of the 2020 legislative session.[1]

Huston earned a bachelor's degree in political science from Indiana University.[2] Hutson worked as a senior vice president at The College Board, a nonprofit that creates standardized tests, from October 2012 to February 2022.[3][4] Before serving in the legislature, he served on the Hamilton Southeastern School Board and the Indiana State Board of Education.[2]

Huston was first elected to the chamber in 2012. He faced Democratic opposition in 2016 (won 64%-36%), 2018 (won 54%-46%), and 2020 (won 56%-44%). He was unopposed in 2014, 2022, and 2024.

Huston's office biography said he created the 2021 Regional Economic Acceleration and Development Initiative, a "$500 million investment to promote community collaboration and growth." In 2023, the legislature approved an additional $500 million in funding. His biography also highlighted tax policy passed by the legislature, specifically a $1 billion tax reduction package in 2022 and a $430 million tax reduction in the 2023 session that the biography said would result in one of the lowest tax rates in the nation by 2027.[2]

Biography

Huston's professional experience includes serving as the senior vice president for state and district partnerships at the College Board. He has also served on the Hamilton Southeastern School Board, Hamilton Southeastern Schools Foundation Board, Fishers Planning Commission, and Indiana Leadership Forum Board of Directors.

Huston earned a bachelor's degree in political science from Indiana University.[5]

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards, State legislative scorecards in Indiana

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.

Below you can find the scorecards found for the Indiana General Assembly in 2025.

  • ACLU of Indiana — Legislators are rated based on their votes related to civil liberties.
  • Indiana Chamber of Commerce — Legislators are scored on their votes on bills related to business issues.
  • Indiana Family Institute — Legislators are scored on their votes on bills related to social issues.
  • The Freedom Index — Legislators are scored on their adherence to the limited government principles of the U.S. Constitution.
