Short Press Bio:
Lauri Shillings is a Libertarian candidate for Indiana Secretary of State and Chairwoman of the Hamilton County Libertarian Party.
With decades of experience, Shillings brings a background in business management, transparency, and public accountability to a statewide office that oversees elections, business filings, and public records. She is a Creative Director at the University of Indianapolis, holds a degree in Community and Nonprofit Leadership, and is a small business owner for more than 20 years.
She is running to restore trust in Indiana elections, protect voter privacy, and ensure the Secretary of State’s office serves Hoosiers rather than political interests.
"I believe government should be efficient, fair, and focused on serving the people who fund it. The Indiana Secretary of State's office oversees elections, registers businesses, and maintains public records for seven million Hoosiers. It should do all three things well and not as a political prize, but as a public service."
