Oh Kory, aren’t the guy who is paid by Finkam campaign? You search the internet for anything slightly negative about her. But yes please blame the midterms on me because of my “arrogance”. And of course, “Beckwith bad”.
Sue Finkam has a very good chance of winning reelection. Unlike the LG, she actually delivers results, doesn’t sow division, and brings people together for the good of Carmel. Your arrogance and lack of self-awareness are exactly why the midterms turned out the way they did. Stop deflecting blame, look in the mirror, and recognize that you’re a major part of the problem.

If you genuinely think Lebanon voters would actually want to raise their taxes after you already screwed them with a data center, you’re an idiot and have no grasp of politics.

Look at Carmel - Sue Finkam has 0% chance to win reelection. They did this to themselves
From @Jake_Allen19 and @StephenBeard, How blue is Hamilton County really now? The maps are pretty striking. That story: indystar.com/story/news/loca…

Nathan, I think you need at least 2 more mics on. We couldn’t hear you
The Lincoln Party was established to provide real completion in races where a problematic incumbent might otherwise coast to a win in the general election. In early 2026, Diego Morales fit the bill. If he decides to run again, Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett may be next.

I have so much joy watching this clip but I’ll leave it at this: 1. I’m happy more people are seeing that all Chris wants to do is grow & raise taxes 2. This 100% proves that Jensen can’t run for higher office. It’s the worst kept secret in the state that he wants to live up 3. I can’t believe Chris Jensen showed up this unprepared to a Rob Kendall interview
"if you aren't growing, you're dying.” That's been the philosophy behind @ctjensen approach to Noblesville. But when @RobMKendall pointed out that Noblesville and Hamilton County are turning blue, partly because of all the high-density housing bringing in new residents, Jensen didn't want to acknowledge the political consequences of that growth. Instead, he suggested the answer is better messaging, telling the story of Noblesville, and educating newcomers about the community's history. So after years of championing growth, the plan to keep Noblesville from turning blue is apparently to.......give newcomers a history lesson? This is the same "muh GDP" Chamber cuck mindset that helped cost Republicans the midterms. Endless talk about growth, development, and economic numbers while ignoring the people, their concerns, and whether any of it is actually making their lives better.

What no one is talking about is that both sides of the GOP lost in Indiana. Conflict adverse & not outspoken, Elise Nieshalla & Trump endorsed, Max Engling. Last night wasn’t a problem with different sides of GOP - it was a “no” vote on the whole Indiana GOP

What a horrible win but the moral of the story is that Grant Wilson needs to be that starting QB no matter Hoover’s health

Question: will the Indiana Republican Party take any kind of measures to admonish or censure Republican State Senator Greg Walker or former Lt. Gov John Mutz? I understand that if neither holds party positions, punitive measures are limited, however, silence on something as high profile as this is bad for all of those out working their asses off on this election cycle. Whether as a candidate or grass roots worker. At some point the Reagan rule must apply!

Other things Jensen could have named it instead of serving his own self interests: - Whistler Way (in honor of the Noblesville school shooting victim) - Boom Blvd - Daly Dr (for Conor Daly - IndyCar driver) Miller Dr - literally anything else

Replying to @nkellyIN
You’re suggesting Beckwith’s post which explicitly cites the 25th anniversary of 9/11 was deliberately timed with the 25th anniversary of 9/11?

Yesterday, lobbyist Jackie Bowman asked “Have you seen our Secretary of Agriculture stepping in to help lead the cause on these property tax issues (for farmers)?” Well Jackie, I’ve been screaming it for over two years and compiled some quotes from you. I guess you only read liberal media instead of the Ag news covering our state.

If Ballard were to somehow win (which he won’t) it would be a total Biden situation. This Nathan guy would actually be the SOS and Ballard’s autopen would get a full workout

No, no, Adam. He wanted you to notice and bask in the pride of being AMERICAN, watch great racing and patriotism on display. Not only that, this was privately funded, not government although it drove thousands of folks to the DC area that have never been (that’s economic impact for you). It allowed folks who have never been to see museums, monuments, the White House and AMERICAN history for the first time as well. And guess what, hundreds of thousands of AMERICANS, blue & red, as well as fans from all over the world loved the #Freedom250! 🇺🇸
While you struggle with the cost of gas, Trump offers you the spectacle of an IndyCar race hoping you will not notice. More taxpayer money spent on his self-aggrandizing distractions. And you get higher taxes and higher costs.

Penske's Bud Denker says 215,000 people attended the IndyCar over the last two days. Get this: Denker says the DC police told him this is the first event they've had without a protest. There were no protests outside this race.
