Max Engling Wins GOP Nomination

Max Engling has officially won the Republican nomination for Indiana Secretary of State, securing the spot on the second ballot with 867 votes out of 1,630 cast. He’ll now face off against Democratic nominee Beau Bayh in the general election, with Libertarian Lauri Shillings also in the race. Former Indy Mayor Greg Ballard is attempting to qualify as an independent by June 30, adding another wildcard to the mix. The GOP field was crowded, with Engling and Knox County Clerk David Shelton debating electability, while incumbent Diego Morales framed himself as an outsider under attack — even defending a noncitizen employee amid internal party tensions. The final race lineup is still unfolding, but Engling’s nomination sets the stage for a heated showdown. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
