Hoosiers deserve honest, efficient service from the Secretary of State. Someone who puts everyday people and businesses first. I’m running to restore trust in elections, protect your rights, and modernize services so doing business in Indiana is fair, fast, and frustration-free.

Why She’s Running

Shillings, a small business owner, Creative Director at the University of Indianapolis, and lifelong Hoosier, is stepping up in response to what she sees as a lack of transparency, fiscal responsibility, and integrity from current Republican Secretary of State Diego Morales.

Lauri on the Issues

Restoring Trust:

Lauri will end partisan misuse of the office, resist federal overreach, and maintain a neutral, independent position that protects Hoosiers. I will defend your vote by ensuring accessible, transparent election procedures with clear public guidelines.

Serving Small Business:

Indiana used to be a place where small businesses of all kinds felt welcome to come in and set up shop. Shillings is a visionary who believes the Secretary of State’s office should serve Hoosiers, not hinder them — modernizing services so business interactions are fast, fair, and frustration-free, and restore our reputation for “Hoosier Hospitality.” From online filings that work to responsive support when you have questions, I’ll champion modernization that saves Hoosier businesses time and money.

Educating Voters:

Indiana consistently ranks near the bottom in voter turnout. I’ll prioritize easy-to-understand voter education so Hoosiers can confidently cast a ballot that counts.

How the Secretary of State Helps You

• Protect Your Vote – Secure election systems you can trust

• Support Small Business – Faster, clearer business interactions

• Cut Red Tape – More responsive service from state government

• Know Your Ballot – Clear guides on registration, early voting, and election dates

What’s Next?

Shillings is seeking the Libertarian nomination at the party’s 2026 state convention. In Indiana, the Secretary of State race plays a vital role in maintaining the Libertarian Party’s ballot access—requiring just 2% of the vote to qualify.

“My deepest hope is to see voters who normally would not turn out, who do feel disenfranchised if they show up at the polls — that they don't feel like their vote won't matter — because it does.”
