Expanded Press Bio:
Lauri Shillings is a Libertarian candidate for Indiana Secretary of State and Chairwoman of the Hamilton County Libertarian Party. A Creative Director at the University of Indianapolis and a small business owner, Shillings brings a background in business management, transparency, and public accountability to a statewide office that directly impacts elections, businesses, and civic trust.
Shillings entered the race amid growing concerns about election administration, voter confidence, and federal overreach into state-run processes. She has been outspoken about the need for ethical, nonpartisan leadership in the Secretary of State’s office, particularly following controversies surrounding the current officeholder, Diego Morales.
Her campaign focuses on restoring trust in Indiana elections, protecting voter data and taxpayer dollars, supporting small businesses navigating state bureaucracy, and ending the partisan misuse of the Secretary of State’s office. Shillings argues that Hoosiers deserve an elections chief who serves the public interest rather than political power.
A longtime advocate for civic engagement and transparent government, Shillings believes the Secretary of State should function as a competent administrator and ethical steward of public trust, not a political weapon. She is seeking the Libertarian nomination for Indiana Secretary of State in 2026.
