Erin Houchin still remembers one of her first jobs as one that nearly eliminated politics as a career path entirely.
“I don’t want to call out anybody in particular, but I had one of the worst jobs in politics for about a year, and that was one of my very first jobs that I ever had,” she said.
Houchin decided to work in the family and child services arena after graduating from Indiana University with a bachelor’s degree in psychology, but she found herself getting involved with politics through campaigns and her local Republican Party. Then former Sen. Dan Coats called her about a role serving as a regional director in Indiana.
