Ballard Joins Ballot as Independent | Fort Wayne News

Former Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard is officially on the ballot as an independent under the new Lincoln Party, after securing over 40,000 verified signatures—well above the 37,000 needed. He poured $150,000 into the effort and relied on volunteers, even facing a state police investigation. Framing his run as a victory for voter choice, Ballard thanks his team and clerks for the hard work. In November, he’ll face Democrat Beau Bayh, Republican Max Engling, and Libertarian Lauri Shillings. If he garners at least 2% of the vote, it could unlock ballot access for the Lincoln Party in future elections, adding a fresh independent voice to a critical race overseeing elections and business filings.
