Competence, Service, Transparency
Putting Hoosiers First. Fighting for Integrity.
Lauri Shillings Launches Exploratory Committee for Indiana Secretary of State
Carmel, IN – May 2, 2025
Lauri Shillings, Chairwoman of the Hamilton County Libertarian Party, has officially launched an exploratory committee to consider a 2026 run for Indiana Secretary of State on the Libertarian ticket. A longtime advocate for transparent government and civic empowerment, Shillings is ready to bring a new vision to a crucial statewide office.
Hoosiers need to be able to trust our state to hold free and fair elections—and that starts with the Secretary of State.
Why She’s Running
Shillings, a Creative Director at the University of Indianapolis and a small business owner, is stepping up in response to what she sees as a lack of integrity and public service from the current Secretary of State, Diego Morales.
Her campaign will focus on:
Restoring trust in Indiana elections
Protecting taxpayer dollars
Advocating for small businesses
Ending partisan misuse of the Secretary’s office
A Voice for All Hoosiers
Lauri believes the Secretary of State should serve the people—not a political party. Her approach centers on competence, service, and transparency. Over the next few weeks, Shillings will share her goals and vision as she builds her team and listens to voters statewide.
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.
“Communities across Indiana want to know their voices matter—and I’m here to make sure they do.”
