Greg Ballard Indiana Secretary of State campaign
Overview
Independent candidate Greg Ballard has campaigned on a platform to reduce political influence within the Indiana Secretary of State’s office. His proposal includes legislation to bar the officeholder from endorsing candidates, fundraising for political parties, or holding party leadership roles.
Following these proposals, Ballard, representing the Lincoln Party, filed a lawsuit in Marion Superior Court against the Indiana Election Commission. The lawsuit seeks a preliminary injunction to compel the commission to hold a public meeting regarding pending campaign finance complaints, two of which involve the campaign of Republican candidate Max Engling.
