SEND DR. CINDE WIRTH TO DC!
Dr. Cinde Wirth brings fresh ideas and new leadership to the House of Representatives.
As a teacher, scientist, and small business owner, Cinde exemplifies the values that Hoosiers hold most dear, and she has the expertise needed to get the job done! She’s a union sister (AFL-CIO/ AFT) and experienced policy writer, bridging the gap often seen between working people and members of congress.
Cynthia Cynthia “Cinde” Wirth is a seventh-generation resident of Bartholomew County, Indiana (Columbus), where she raised her family. As a scientist and educator, she spent more than a decade teaching high school biology and environmental science. Cinde inspired her students to take their STEM skills out of the classroom by creating and teaching a marine biology research based study abroad program on the Caribbean island of Bonaire.
In 2018-2019, she served as a congressional fellow in Washington, D.C., learning to write science and education policy while navigating bipartisan challenges.
A first-generation college graduate, in 2025 Cinde earned her Ph.D in cultural and educational policy from Ball State University, proudly capping off a winding path through her own education journey.
Cinde has never been afraid to take on big names and big money.
