Blake Johnson represents the heart of Indianapolis, where he’s earned a reputation as a thoughtful, commonsense leader who delivers real results. First elected to the Indiana House of Representatives in 2020, Blake previously served on the Indianapolis City-County Council, where he championed neighborhood investment, better schools, and responsible budgeting.

​

In public service, Blake has prioritized issues that matter most to working families: safe streets, quality education, and local decision-making. He played a key role in saving the Blue Line, protecting $150 million in federal infrastructure funding, while helping dramatically expand road funding in Marion County. He’s fought to protect tenant rights, backed support for the city’s homeless shelter, and remains a strong advocate for empowering local governments to solve big problems.

​

Before joining the legislature, Blake helped lead more than $1 billion in capital investment projects across Indianapolis and helped design the Indy Achieves Scholarship Program to boost educational attainment citywide.

​

Outside the Statehouse, Blake is a nonprofit executive and small business owner, working at the intersection of community development, public space, and strategic communications. He lives downtown with his wife Natalie, their sons Len and Lou, and their two dogs, Jack and Roe.
