Beau Bayh, the son of former Indiana Governor and Senator Evan Bayh, has decided to run for Indiana Secretary of State. Bayh made the announcement in a video he posted to social media earlier this week. He says he is running to fix a corrupt office and take on a broken political system that doesn’t serve us.
Bayh, who is running as a Democrat, says that among the focal points he will focus on if elected will be calling out corruption, wasteful spending, and government abuse, opposing excessive taxes that are crushing working families, ensuring elections are secure and fair, and supporting the thousands of new businesses that create jobs and fuel our economy. ‘
Knox County Clerk David Shelton—who also plans to run for the Republican Secretary of State nomination—called out Bayh for not residing in Indiana. In the same written statement, Shelton also criticized current Secretary of State Diego Morales for having “excessive baggage.” Shelton lost the Republican Secretary of State nomination to Morales in 2022.
