Brian C. Bosma (born October 31, 1957) is an American politician and lawyer who served as speaker of the Indiana House of Representatives from 2004 to 2006 and 2010 to 2020. A member of the Republican Party, Bosma has served in the Indiana House since 1986. He replaced Gordon Harper.[1] He was originally elected in the 50th district,[2] but was redistricted to the 88th district in 1992.[3] The 88th district encompasses northeast Marion County and portions of Hancock and Hamilton County.
Upon Republicans regaining a majority in the Indiana House in 2004, he was elected to his first of six nonconsecutive terms to the speakership. He served his first term as speaker until 2006, when Democrats gained control of the House, and served five more terms as speaker after Republicans won control in the 2010 elections. In the 2012 elections, Republicans obtained a super majority in the House.
Outside of state politics, Bosma is in an attorney in private practice, working as a partner with Kroger, Gardis & Regas and is the founding director of Bosma Industries for the Blind, an Indianapolis-based private non-profit which serves as Indiana's largest employer of legally blind individuals and those with severe visual impairments.[4]
On November 19, 2019, Bosma announced his retirement from the Indiana House of Representatives at the end of the 2020 legislative session.[5][6] State Representative Todd Huston succeeded Bosma as Speaker in 2020.[7][8]
