Submitted by Hamilton County Democratic Party
The Hamilton County Democratic Party (HCDP) announces and is celebrating the election of two local leaders to top positions within the Indiana Young Democrats (IYD).
Brown
Koglin
Neil Koglin has been elected President, and Raleigh Brown has been elected Vice President, marking a historic moment for both Hamilton County and the future of youth leadership in the Indiana Democratic Party. The election took place June 7 in Fort Wayne.
Both Koglin and Brown have deep roots in Hamilton County’s Democratic organizing. Their elections reflect the strength of a growing movement and the rising influence of young leaders from the local community on the statewide stage.
Koglin, a Westfield native, brings a strategic and inclusive approach to leadership. He has served as the President of the Westfield Democratic Committee, the President of the Hamilton County Young Democrats, and currently works as the Voter File Administrator at the Indiana Democratic Party. He has been active in party organizing, campaign support, and civic engagement work across Indiana. As IYD President, he plans to focus on expanding youth involvement, supporting young candidates, and building Democratic power at the local level and beyond.
Brown has spent much of her career organizing in Hamilton County, serving as the Campaign Manager for Josh Lowry and currently as the Executive Director of the Hamilton County Democratic Party. Her work in grassroots organizing, community coalition building, and campaign strategy has helped energize voters and strengthen local infrastructure. As Vice President of IYD, she will work to connect regional chapters, build leadership pipelines, and bring new voices into the political process.
“We are incredibly proud to have two of our own leading the charge for young Democrats across Indiana,” HCDP Chair Josh Lowry. “Neil and Raleigh represent the energy, commitment, and values that define this next generation of Democratic leadership.”
IYD is the official youth arm of the Indiana Democratic Party, engaging Hoosiers under 36 in political activism, leadership development, and issue advocacy.
HCDP is honored to have such strong representation at the helm, and the party looks forward to supporting Koglin and Brown as they continue to elevate young voices and Democratic values across the state.
