Born 1949. Sandra Blanton is an American politician and accountant.

Sandra Clark Blanton, known as Sandy Blanton (born 1949), is an accountant from Paoli, Indiana, who served from 2007 to 2011 as a Democratic member of the Indiana House of Representatives for the 62nd District, which includes her own Orange County in the southern portion of her state.

In 2008, Mrs. Blanton won her second term in the legislature by defeating Republican Daniel Brook Tarr, 13,608 votes (57.4 percent) to his 10,118 (42.6 percent).
