Councilor Crista Carlino announced her resignation as Chair of the City-County Council’s Investigative Committee and other committee leadership roles, effective immediately.

In a  letter to Indianapolis citizens and her Democratic colleagues, Carlino apologized for publicly calling on the mayor and Council leadership to resign without consulting her caucus, acknowledging that her actions caused division and unintended personal pain.

Carlino reaffirmed her commitment to serving District 11 and emphasized that her decisions were motivated by a desire to support survivors of misconduct and improve City processes. Despite stepping back from leadership roles, she says she intends to remain on the Council to continue serving her constituents.
