About Chris: A Leader for Our Community
Chris Bowen is a dedicated advocate, community organizer, mom, and mimi who has called Indiana home for nearly 20 years. Originally from Texas, she studied elementary education with a mathematics emphasis at Texas A&M University–Commerce before planting roots in Southern Indiana.
She lives in a multigenerational household alongside her children and grandchildren, which she says is an everyday reminder of exactly who she is fighting for. Her years working in preschool education, homeschooling, and raising her family at the kitchen table shaped a campaign she describes as "built from this district up."
Chris has a deep-rooted history in church involvement, volunteering, and community activism. She has spent years advocating for moms, children with special needs, the LGBTQ+ community, immigrants, and people with disabilities — not because it was easy, but because it was right.
Chris brings fiscal responsibility, real leadership experience, and backbone to this race. She doesn't back down when things get hard. She doesn't go quiet when powerful people push back. And she doesn't trade her values for convenience.
Indiana House District 69
Politics Failed You. Chris Won't.
Chris believes that the future of Indiana belongs to the people who will actually live in it, and that means bringing young Hoosiers into the conversation — not just as voters, but as leaders, organizers, and decision-makers. She knows that when young people disengage from politics, it's not apathy — it's because politics has failed to engage them. Chris is running to change that. She will go to the Statehouse and fight unapologetically for working families, for the next generation, and for every constituent in District 69 who has ever felt like their voice didn't count. She doesn't back down when things get hard, she doesn't go quiet when powerful people push back, and she doesn't trade her values for convenience.

The Numbers Behind Our District
These aren't just statistics — they are our neighbors. The people of House District 69 deserve a representative who knows these numbers because she lives them every day.
House District 69 spans portions of four counties, representing a wide range of communities across Southern Indiana. While the district is geographically rooted in Jackson and Washington counties, it also represents vital communities in Bartholomew and Scott.
