Indiana House Speaker Todd Huston (R-37) authored House Bill 1008 earlier this year, which establishes the Indiana-Illinois Boundary Adjustment Commission. This commission’s purpose is to study the possibility of Indiana annexing 33 counties that voted to secede from Illinois.

With its required additional and extensive administrative reviews, SEA 2 will not only cost Indiana taxpayers more but will also cause many eligible Hoosiers to lose Medicaid benefits. When more people are uninsured, healthcare prices increase for everyone.

The fight over Indiana’s proposed 2025 mid-decade redistricting plan is more than a technical debate about district lines. It is an encapsulation of our era's intense struggle over democracy itself.

Indiana’s Secretary of State recently announced that it handed over the names of its more than 4.4 million registered Indiana voters to the federal government to support efforts to “enforce Federal election laws and protect the integrity of Federal elections.” The effort is part of the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (DHS-USCIS)’s Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program.

by Nocona Canady-Flatt By now you’ve probably heard rumblings about our new annual event: The Torchbearer Gala . We wanted to share with you the idea behind the event, the goals for it, and the inspiration for what will become an annual fall tradition here in HamCo. The Name Why The Torchbearer? Of all the names to choose, why did we land on this particular one? There are several reasons. To start with, we are living in dark times. Every day, a new disaster comes into our awareness via our...

The Hamilton County Election Board has put forward a proposal to use vote centers rather than precinct-based polling locations on Election Day. I attended the public meeting in which the proposal was discussed, and I wanted to provide you with some additional context.

Is it easy being a Democrat in Indiana? Actually, yes - it is. I care about truth and I don't want to cause harm. And I think if not for the lies and the noise, many current GOP voters would support what we want to do.

This inaugural event wasn’t just a thank-you; it was a full-on tribute to the grit, heart, and dedication of the people powering our local Democratic efforts. Three special awards were presented—Cream of the Crop, People’s Choice, and the Endurance Award: Volunteer of the Year—with personalized write-ups from fellow HamCo Dems highlighting just how much these volunteers have done to move our mission forward.

On August 3, 2025, former Texas Congressman Beto O’Rourke energized local voters with a resounding call to fight the "growing authoritarianism" of the Trump Administration.

The well-attended event, hosted by the Hamilton County Democratic Party, was kicked off by County Party Chair Josh Lowry and was designed to engage HamCo voters directly with state party chair Karen Tallian.

Whether you’re a longtime Democrat or just beginning to get engaged in local politics, there’s a place for your energy, skills, and generosity in our movement.

By voting for the One Big Beautiful Bill Act on July 3, GOP Rep. Spartz proved who she really cares about back home. On the policy, the federal budget reconciliation bill (entitled in naked Orwellian doublespeak as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act) shows that the only thing the Republican Congress took seriously was how to make wealthy people like Spartz herself richer.

Choosing not to wallow in things so far from my grasp in Washington, I chose to focus on issues and causes closer to home. Just a Democrat surrounded by other Democrats doing what we could, doing good for our friends and neighbors.

HamCo Dems are showing up and showing out in the spaces that matter. Recently, we proved our energy and welcoming spirit by participating in a number of high-profile events that align with our party values.

A fun daytime companion to the popular Dems on Draft events at Primeval Brewing, this first-of-its-kind gathering provided a space for local Democratic-leaning neighbors to meet new friends and find community over Bica's marvelous menu of specialty coffees, blended libations, and terrific eats.

You’ve probably heard by now about our major fundraiser on May 30th, Night for the Blues. We’re thrilled to say that the event is officially sold out! While the venue is at capacity, we’d still love to welcome sponsors and donors who want to support our mission.

In the 2025 session, the Indiana Legislature passed a bill called SB1, which Governor Braun signed into law almost immediately. While the bill touts savings on property taxes, most homeowners are expected to save only around $300 per year.
