State Representative Michele Henry is honored to represent Indiana House District 72 in Floyd County, stretching east from St. Joseph through Floyds Knobs and New Albany down to Buchanan. She was elected to the Indiana General Assembly in 2026.

Henry is a local civil rights lawyer who raised her family in Georgetown, Indiana – the heart of District 72. She has practiced law since 2002 and now represents victims of discrimination, as well as labor unions seeking fair and equitable working conditions for their members. Henry is well respected among her peers, having been selected as a Best Lawyer in Kentucky annually since 2015 and as a Super Lawyer annually since 2016 in the plaintiff employment practice area.

At the Statehouse, she uses her legal background to fight for practical, common-sense solutions that strengthen families, support communities and make government more efficient for the people it serves. Her top priorities include lowering utility costs, strengthening Indiana’s public schools and reining in data centers.

When she’s not practicing law or at the Statehouse, Michele is a committed community servant, serving on the boards of directors of the Waterfront Botanical Gardens and the Women Lawyers Association. She’s also an active volunteer with Access Justice, providing free, quality legal help to neighbors across Kentuckiana.

Michele lives in Georgetown with her husband, Gordon Henry, and whichever foster or senior care dog most recently needed a loving home. She’s a triathlete who completed a 140.6-mile Ironman triathlon in 2015. Michele has two children, Sarah and Sean Henry, who are both proud graduates of Floyd Central High School.
