Indiana Republican Party Chairwoman Lana Keesling announced Thursday that Rep. Robb Greene will serve as the next executive director of the state party, effective later this month.
Greene will replace Josh Waddell, who will be joining Gov. Mike Braun’s administration.
“I am thrilled to announce the selection of Robb Greene as our new Executive Director to help guide our organization and continue to deliver results for Hoosier Republicans. I am grateful to Josh Waddell for his service and leadership over the past year at the Indiana GOP,” Keesling said in a statement.
“Robb has done incredible work for Hoosiers as a conservative leader in the Indiana House of Representatives. With the midterms coming in 2026 and crucial municipal elections in 2027, I am confident that Robb’s experience and leadership will benefit Republicans up and down the ballot as we work to make Indiana a beacon of freedom and opportunity for the nation. Our party has never been stronger, and we will not be slowing down!”
Greene is a native of Shelby County, where he lives with his wife and three children. He has served House District 47, which includes portions of Johnson and Shelby counties, since 2022.
He has advocated for Applied Behavioral Analysis — explaining how the therapy has helped his own autistic child.
A news release said he is a logistics consultant and small business owner.
In the General Assembly, he has served on the following committees: Agriculture and Rural Development; Commerce, Small Business and Economic Development; Family, Children and Human Affairs.
Greene filed five bills in the 2025 session. One of them would have limited nondisclosure agreements in economic development deals. Others impacted behavior analysts; home and community based waivers, retirement benefits and Hoosier homestead farms.
In 2023, he authored a new law banning third-party restaurant delivery services from a restaurant unless the restaurant agrees.
