State Rep. Amy Huffman Oliver
State Representative Amy Huffman Oliver represents Indiana House District 62, which includes all of Brown County and portions of rural Monroe and Jackson Counties. She was elected to the Indiana House of Representatives on November 3, 2026.
Amy earned bachelor's degrees in English Literature and Psychology from Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts. After graduation, she interned with Ninth District U.S. Representative Lee H. Hamilton in Washington, D.C. She returned to Indiana to attend the Indiana University Maurer School of Law in Bloomington. While at IU, she also pursued graduate studies in journalism.
Her public service career spans more than two decades and includes work as an attorney, advocate, and administrative law judge. She prosecuted health-professional licensing cases as a Deputy Attorney General and later served as an Administrative Law Judge, adjudicating unemployment eligibility claims during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Much of her legal career has focused on protecting vulnerable Hoosiers and advocating for people whose voices too often go unheard. She spent 11 years as Legal Director of Turning Point Domestic Violence Services in Bartholomew County and also served as a domestic violence prosecutor in Marion and Monroe Counties. Her work on behalf of crime victims and survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault earned her the 2009 Domestic Violence Professional of the Year award. Today, she maintains a private law practice providing family law mediation and guardian ad litem services to families navigating divorce and contested child custody matters.
Her commitment to public service eventually brought her into the classroom. As a middle school history teacher with Brown County Schools, she introduced students to cultures, religions, and perspectives from around the world. Her classroom initiatives connected students virtually with peers in China, brought them into houses of worship representing different faiths, and gave them opportunities to showcase their historical research through the National History Day program. Beyond the classroom, she developed enrichment opportunities for high-ability students, including Girls Who Code and Brown County's first competitive chess club.
Building on her experience as an educator, she continued serving local schools as a nonpartisan member of the Brown County Schools Board of Trustees from 2020 through 2026. Also in 2026, she graduated from Hoosier Women Forward, a leadership development program for Democratic women in Indiana.
Amy and her husband of 33 years live in a log cabin in Brown County, where they raised their two sons. Her commitment to family and community continues close to home, where she also helps care for her 88-year-old mother, who lives nearby.
