A Message from our Chair, Jocelyn Vare.
So grateful for all of you! No matter how you participated in this year's election season, you made a difference.
Congratulations to Victoria Garcia Wilburn who won her re-election for Indiana statehouse representative for District 32, serving Carmel and Fishers. Her win ensures a strong Democratic voice representing Hamilton County in our statehouse. Rep. Wilburn joins Democratic Senator JD Ford who represents Carmel in the State Senate. He was re-elected in 2022.
We couldn’t be prouder of all our candidates who inspired us throughout their campaigns. Thank you to each of them for bravely running for office and fighting the good fight. It has been an honor to support your campaign efforts in your community.
(Meet all of our wonderful candidates at hamcodemsin.org/meet-the-candidates)
