In Carmel, Miles Nelson, a small business owner and the first Democratic city councilor in city history, is running for mayor in the open seat left by the retirement of longtime Mayor Jim Brainard. Democrats have made major inroads in the Indianapolis suburb with Democratic candidates winning the city in 2022 and President Joe Biden winning the “roundabout capital of the world” in 2020.
Other mayoral candidates around the state include:
- Stephanie Terry in Evansville
- Erin Easter in West Lafayette
- Jeff Robinson in Muncie
“These candidates represent the future of our state, and we are eager to support them in their efforts to lead their communities forward for a better Indiana,” Schmuhl said. “We are confident that these candidates will bring new energy and ideas to our state and help build the bench for the future of our party.”
