Thankful for leaders like @bray_rodric and @ctjensen who stood up against this. indystar.com/story/opinion/2…
A Paradigm Shift… for the entire Southside of Indianapolis 3 “Republican” townships.
Well... if things couldn't get any weirder.
It appears Decatur Township may have elected a Trustee who is TRANS
The campaign finance report lists the candidate's legal name as Brian, with Ellie listed as a nickname. Ballotpedia lists the candidate as Elise.
And here's another interesting detail: the campaign finance report shows $0 in spending.
From what I've heard, there was virtually no campaigning either.

In November 2022, after Republicans underperformed despite strong headwinds against the Biden administration, I wrote a letter to the Daily Journal arguing it was time for the party to turn the page on Donald Trump and focus on candidates who could deliver results and expand the coalition.
Four years later, with the 2026 midterm results in, that letter feels relevant again. The outcomes in Indiana and across the country suggest the same risks I raised then have not gone away. Conservatism is bigger than any one person. This is the last stop on the train. Time to get off.

Grateful to have attended tonight’s Indiana Chamber 37th Annual Awards Dinner. Congrats to everyone being recognized, and a special thank you and congratulations to Mayor @ctjensen on receiving the Birch Bayh-Richard Lugar Government Leader of the Year award. Well earned.

Congratulations to @BeauBayh for winning Marion County by the largest margin in Indianapolis history for a Democrat! Beau won a number of precincts where he was the first Democratic candidate to *ever* win them, and he dominated all over our rural, suburban and urban counties.

I wouldn’t go that far. Indiana is a red state with pissed-off voters who’ve been failed by elected officials who took them for granted. Dems can squander the goodwill just as quickly as they gained it.

An underrated consequence of last night:
(Indiana)
->Republican’s state house caucus went from 34% suburban to 16% suburban.
->Democrat’s state house caucus went from 23% suburban to 50% suburban.

This is insane! Here is a map of yesterday’s Indiana House results if they were drawn under the attempted Republican gerrymander map from last Fall. Thank you to @Vulst3 for breaking down the data to make this map. The gerrymander could’ve netted us a 9-0 or 8-1 map potentially!
After reading many posts on twitter (X) Facebook, etc. from political armchair analysts (like me maybe- haha) I think it’s clear, that Republicans really didn't lose last night because Americans suddenly abandoned their conservative principles. No, they lost because the Republican Party failed to show that it could translate those principles into competent, responsible government.
Here’s something that is probably going to be unpopular with some of you…
I think it’s time to acknowledge that the conservative movement must become bigger than Donald Trump.

Congratulations to our client, @brettbarker, on his election victory for IA-51!

The hubris of believing you won because people prefer you is the seed of Democratic downfall. The Democrats won last night because Republicans lost. And Republicans lost because of President Trump. They lost because of his missteps with tariffs, the Iran war, and so much more. This is not irrecoverable. But instead of solidifying our leads from 2024, we lost ground. Power receded, and now the next two years of progress toward the Republican agenda are lost. Trump’s term basically ended last night
