Indiana Secretary of State Race Heats Up

The Indiana Secretary of State race is heating up in wild fashion, with incumbent Diego Morales surprisingly trailing behind latecomer Max Engling, the new insider favorite. Morales defends his controversial hire of a noncitizen chief of staff, citing his immigrant roots and legal compliance, while Engling, a former congressional candidate backed by big names, pushes for electability and citizenship verification. Engling’s campaign faces anonymous attacks over his past, though he insists his only blemish is a dropped misdemeanor. David Shelton, a county clerk with election experience, and Jamie Reitenour, focused on grassroots reform, also vie for delegates amid a chaotic field. With 1,800 delegates to decide and a June 20th deadline, the race promises a messy convention as all eyes turn to who’ll face Democrat Beau Bayh—and a Libertarian challenger—in November.
