Former GOP Chair Joins Consulting Firm

Cardwell served as state GOP chairman from March 2015 to January 2017.

The former chairman of the Indiana Republican Party has a new job. Jeff Cardwell has joined Indianapolis-based consulting and strategic communications firm Sextons Creek as senior vice president.

Cardwell announced his resignation from the Indiana GOP in December and officially stepped down in late January. He was succeeded by Kyle Hupfer, who previously served as the party’s fifth congressional district chairman.

"Jeff’s heart for people and his passion for service are unparalleled," said Lindsey Craig, chief operating officer of Sextons Creek. "He brings a wealth of experience in both the public and private sector, and we are excited to have him on the team at Sextons Creek."

Sextons Creek also has an office in Washington D.C.
