Meet Carmel Dems.
Carmel Democrats are making waves—and we’re just getting started.
With a dedicated and highly engaged committee, Carmel Dems have driven real progress in our city through common-sense solutions that benefit everyone.
In 2018, J.D. Ford won the State Senate District 29 seat, representing parts of Indianapolis, Zionsville, and Carmel. The following year, Carmel made history by electing its first-ever Democratic City Council member, Miles Nelson. That seat remains in Democratic hands today with the 2023 election of Dr. Anita Joshi. In 2020, Joe Biden carried Carmel by 2.5%, and Kamala Harris widened that margin in 2024. Also Carmel residents are still proudly represented by State Senator J.D. Ford and State Representative Victoria Garcia Wilburn, who was re-elected to House District 32 in 2024.
The momentum is real—and there’s plenty of work to do. Join Carmel Dems this year and be part of the progress!
