Rob Kendall breaks down former Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard’s announcement that he is running for Indiana secretary of state as an independent candidate. Kendall analyzes a previous poll showing Ballard competing with incumbent Republican Diego Morales and Democratic candidate Beau Bayh, and explains how an independent candidacy could reshape the race.
The episode also examines the challenges Ballard faces to get on the ballot, including collecting roughly 37,000 verified signatures statewide and raising hundreds of thousands of dollars to support the effort. Kendall discusses how Ballard could influence the outcome of the election even without winning by drawing votes from major party candidates.
Additional topics include the cost of collecting ballot signatures in Indiana, the potential impact on Libertarian ballot access, the Republican convention decision about Morales, and how a competitive independent campaign could change Indiana politics.
