Episode Details

Former Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard is officially running for Indiana Secretary of State as the Lincoln Party’s candidate, having secured over 40,000 signatures—well above the threshold. With a major campaign haul of nearly $850,000 and strong local name recognition, Ballard now faces a tough race against Republican Max Engling, Democrat Beau Bayh, and Libertarian Lauri Shillings. Winning just 2% of the vote would give the Lincoln Party automatic ballot access for four years—a rare feat only the Libertarians have achieved since 1994. While third-party candidates often struggle statewide, Ballard’s entry could siphon votes from Republicans and force voters to consider a new option in a race many analysts believe is stacked against him. His next challenge? Raising funds, building statewide support, and convincing voters that this race matters.
