Show Notes
Former Indianapolis mayor Greg Ballard enters Indianas 2026 secretary of state race as an independent, potentially shaking up the contest between Republican incumbent Diego Morales and Democrat Beau Bayh. Ballards conservative background could draw votes from unhappy Republicans, aiding Bayh in this predominantly Republican state. However, he might also attract Bayh-curious voters, benefiting Morales. Ballard, known for his 2007 upset, faces challenges in fundraising and voter familiarity. Despite potential shortcomings, Ballard could pave the way for future independent candidates by securing at least two percent of the vote.
