(INDIANAPOLIS) -- State Sen. Randy Maxwell (R-Guilford) was sworn in as state senator of Indiana Senate District 43 at the Indiana Supreme Court Thursday.

Maxwell is the CEO of Maxwell Construction, his family-owned Southeast Indiana general contractor and development company, which he has been involved in his whole life.

"With decades of community involvement and service to speak for, my roots run deep in Southeast Indiana," Maxwell said. "This is why I stand ready to represent our communities' values at the Statehouse and see what more can be done to help our communities continue to grow."
