(INDIANAPOLIS) – Indiana may not have a U.S. Senate primary after all. Three Democrats and one Republican filed to run against Republican Todd Young. But all those candidates except Hammond Mayor Tom McDermott are accused of failing to submit the required 45-hundred petition signatures to get on the ballot. And one of the Democrats, Indianapolis […]
(INDIANAPOLIS) – A delay in drawing new legislative districts means would-be candidates won’t know whether they’re eligible to run until about three months before filing opens. Candidate filing opens January 5, but the Census Bureau is late in delivering the detailed population data needed to draw those districts. The new maps won’t be drawn until […]
(SOUTH BEND, Ind.) — Indiana’s new Democratic chairman is banking on Trump fatigue and President Biden’s popularity to help revive the party in the state. Mike Schmuhl takes command of a party which hasn’t just been losing, but hasn’t even been close. Democrats haven’t won a statewide race in nine years, haven’t flipped a U.S. […]
You may want to sit down for this. The headline is not ‘click bait.’ Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez got a few things right. SOUND THE ALARM The first thing Tony Katz fully agrees with AOC on (never thought we’d say that) is her joint statement calling for Cuomo’s resignation. Many on the left are calling out […]

(BLOOMINGTON, Ind.) — State Democratic chairman John Zody will step down in March. Zody says he’d planned to leave the chairmanship regardless of how the election went — his eight years in the post makes him the party’s third-longest serving chair.

(SOUTH BEND, Ind.) — Friends and rivals of former Governor Joe Kernan are remembering the “exuberant joy” with which he approached two decades of public service.

(INDIANAPOLIS) — Legislative Democrats want a special session next month to address pandemic issues and police reform. A bipartisan study committee is already looking at police reform, but Democrats say there’s no need for a study to ban chokeholds, racial profiling, and no-knock warrants. Indianapolis Representative Robin Shackleford, who chairs the Indiana Black Legislative Caucus, […]
The Washington Post, the New York Times, CNN, MSNBC and the Twitter blue-checks were all in lock step in calling President Trump’s speech on July 4th at the base of Mt. Rushmore, “hateful,” “racist,” “divisive,” “dark,” and “angry.” But nothing could be further from the truth, which is exactly where those mainstream media outlets like […]
