Will Colteryahn was elected to the Indiana House of Representatives in November 2026. He represents House District 40, which includes Avon and portions of Plainfield in Hendricks County.

Before taking office, Will spent 12 years with the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA), serving in a variety of leadership roles. Most notably, he served as Deputy Director of Youth Services and Director of Policy within the Division of Disability and Rehabilitative Services. During his time at FSSA, Will served on the Governor’s Workforce Development Committee and chaired the Transition Advisory Council, helping expand opportunities for students with disabilities transitioning from high school to postsecondary education, apprenticeships, and employment.

Prior to joining state government, Will spent more than a decade in human services, managing programs that expanded employment and community inclusion for people with disabilities. He also worked as a case manager supporting people experiencing homelessness.

Will grew up outside Pittsburgh and is a proud community college graduate who later attended Slippery Rock University, studying disability services and nonprofit management. 

Will and his wife, Katie, moved to Indiana for her medical career and made Avon their home. They are raising four children, Peter, Annie, Henry, and Ben.

Guided by compassion, equality, and public service, Will is focused on improving disability services, removing barriers for working families, and bringing greater transparency and accountability to state government.
