2026 Election Ballot

Kelsey Kauffman For Indiana House District 44

I'm running for Indiana House District 44 because voters who oppose the most extreme policies deserve a voice and a name on the ballot that reflects their values. While I know the odds are steep in a district that voted 75% for Trump, I believe it's worth standing up—out loud and on the record—for core values like due process, compassion, and protecting the most vulnerable members of our communities.

This campaign is about policies and consequences, not personal attacks. I'm running to give Hoosiers concerned about the direction of our state and country a way to register that concern clearly and publicly. Whether you want to volunteer, share your thoughts, or simply stay informed, I welcome your voice in this conversation.

Blythe Potte For Indiana Secretary of State

Blythe Potter is an Army military police combat corps veteran, mother, small business owner, and organizer seeking the democratic party nomination for Indiana’s Secretary of State in 2026. Blythe is also an Emerging Leaders Project, Hoosier Women Forward graduate, and a Precinct Chair who has been active in and around the Johnson County community for over 20 years.

Blythe understands what it feels like to be frustrated that our government is not working for Hoosiers. As someone who has been impacted by the failed status quo of the insiders in Indianapolis, Blythe wants to empower voters to elect candidates who will work for their best interests, not corporate donors. As your next Secretary of State, Blythe will work for all Hoosiers, focusing on the working class and underserved communities, to ensure voter education and outreach is a priority in all counties.
