U.S. municipal elections, 2019

The city of Indianapolis, Indiana, held a general election for mayor on November 5, 2019. A primary was scheduled for May 7, 2019.

Incumbent Joseph Hogsett (D) announced on December 5, 2018, that he would seek re-election.[1] He faced five challengers in his bid for a second term: one Democrat, three Republicans, and a Libertarian. Although there are no term limits for mayor in Indianapolis, each of the three mayors prior to Hogsett served two four-year terms.

Indianapolis' mayor was one of 20 Democratic mayorships up for election in 2019, with Republicans holding seven mayorships up for election and independents holding four. Across the largest 100 cities by population at the start of 2019, there were 60 Democratic mayors, 28 Republican mayors, seven independent mayors, four mayors of unknown party affiliation, and one vacancy.

In addition to voting for mayor, residents of the city elected all 25 members of the city council on November 5, 2019. Click here for more information on those races. The filing deadline for this election was February 8, 2019, although independent candidates had until July 1 to file.

I am a 55 year old Automation Engineer in Indianapolis, IN.

I am running for Mayor of Indianapolis as a Libertarian.

I have lived in Indianapolis since 1984. I grew up in Angola, Indiana in the countryside. Like everyone else in rural Indiana, I baled hay, picked corn and raspberries.

As an adult, I have went to college, received a degree in Automated Manufacturing and now work a job where I travel the world working on automated machinery. I have seen many different cultures and lived in the country and the city.

I am running for Mayor of Indianapolis for 3 basic reasons: I firmly believe that Indianapolis deserves to have real choices in whom they choose to run this city. I believe strongly in the old adage of teaching a man to fish, although I don't mind sharing the fish during the learning curve. I believe I can do a better job of improving the economic and social climate of this city than has been done in the past, because I believe in doing what works, not simply what a political party or existing organization would have me do.

  • Violent crime cannot be reduced by adding police officers or adding more laws. Violent crime must be addressed at the root causes of youth violence and black market propagation.
  • Infrastructure issues such as potholes have been ignored too long in our city for the sake of Legacy building projects. We need to repair our infrastructure first before adding to the cost of city upkeep.
  • Homelessness is once again a major problem downtown that has been simply brushed aside for too long. This must be addressed directly with people having a clear path to exit homelessness

We need more home grown businesses. Every large business today started in a small town. Walmart did not start in New York City. Microsoft was not started in Los Angeles. The city of Indianapolis needs to stop looking to spend taxpayer money to attract business to Indiana, we need to start growing our own. The city of Indianapolis needs to look for ways that current regulations are inhibiting the growth and development of these home grown businesses and move aside for them. This does not need to cost any taxpayer money, but would actually save money as fewer restrictions on business would require less enforcement. The city needs business growth for job growth, and it needs job growth for population growth, and it needs population growth so that taxes on each individual will not need to grow as well as we prepare our city for future. The Mayor should not try to build the Indianapolis of the future, but rather should encourage organic growth, so that the citizens of Indianapolis can decide and build that future city for themselves.

The Economy of Cities - Jane Jacobs, 1969

Integrity and decisiveness. Serenity, courage and wisdom

I have training in system integration and experience with a wide variety of city governments. I believe that I can not only run the city better than it currently is, but put it on a path of self sustainability that future mayors will not be elected on their economic impact of basic city services.

I believe that the core responsibility is to be a manager of the city. The city has needs, and the mayor does not need to know how to fix roads, how to stop crime, or even how to help the homeless. He does, however absolutely must know how to find those people who do have this knowledge and appoint them to positions in the city where they can do the best in those positions. The mayor must recognize when something isn't working and change immediately, be it policy or a department head.

I believe that legacy building is what has our city in its present state. If I just left the city better off than it was before, or they simply said "He paid the bills," that would be plenty for me.

The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress. by Robert Heinlein. I like this book because it describes a future society where people who are effectively trapped by circumstance find a way and the courage and fortitude to gain their real freedom.

Lazarus Long. He lived long enough to see everything in life he ever wanted to.

Mentirosa, by Elephante

I was born with the need of an artificial leg. I have struggled to lead a normal life my whole life. I know struggle and know how to overcome. If I can get a degree, ride a motorcycle, and climb Mount Pilatus in Switzerland with one leg, I can be the mayor to succeed.

A mayor needs to be the voice for the people of his city. He needs to be in front of the camera when state issues impact the city, and needs to lead by example, and not simple just let things happen. The mayor, above all others in the city politics, need to be vocal and active on all actions that effect the city. The mayor needs to be the lightning rod that attracts business and people to the city. He is the spokesman when major events happen in the city. Most of all, he should lead by example, not simple let thing happen in the city without comment.

he Mayor of Indianapolis is the chief executive of both the city and the county. The Head of the Department of Public Safety, and the Police Chief are both offices that are appointed by the mayor and have a major impact in the city. With the continuing increase in violent crime in the city, these positions are more important than every. I will appoint people of competence to these and all positions that are appointed by the mayor. There will be no political reward positions in my administration.

The mayor is not a direct member of the city-county council, which is considered the legislative branch of the city government. The city does have deputy mayors, with responsibilities that vary from mayor to mayor. The mayor should set policy for his administration, and set the direction and tone for the city government. He should be responsible to the people and try to keep the council in check so that the city budget is maintained, and the infrastructure and other city responsibilities are maintained. The mayor should be the brake on the city-county council in the same way that the council should be a brake on the mayor, to see to it that the city government remains stable and solvent each fiscal year. I believe that the mayor of this election needs to focus on both violent crime and homelessness.

Indianapolis is one of the most diverse cities in the United States. There is no one defining thing that "is Indianapolis," rather it is a whole host of items that make Indianapolis a diverse and unique city. Indianapolis. It has all the neighborhood charm of a small town, while at the same time has world class museums, zoo, and sporting events, both professional and amateur that appeal to people of all ages and all walks of life. There is quite literally something for everyone. I want to keep it that way.

There is a huge division in the vision for the future of the city. Many people do not want the city to grow, but simply become a museum to accomplishments of the past. To glorify what we have and never change for future growth. Others seem to be eager to tear down everything that is Indianapolis as it stands so that their vision of the future can arrive as soon as possible. In my experience traveling the world for my career, I have seen that letting a city grow organically, neither tearing down the past nor inhibiting or rushing the future, seems to be the best path. Take every change as one step at a time, and complete tasks before rushing on to the next one. The city needs to take care of it's citizens first, and let business grow and take care of their future employees as they grow. I believe that the future of the city is one of self-sustenance, in a way that precludes the election of a new mayor to be a major impact in the growth and operation of the city.

Since the city is the Capital of the State Government, I feel that the city of Indianapolis should be best able to express the needs of the local governments to the state government. I feel that the mayor of the city should be a barometer for the state government as far as showing the impact of the state on the cities of Indiana.

I feel that the issues between the city and the federal government should pass through the buffer of the state government. If the federal government is directly impacting or interacting with the city government, I would tend to believe that it would be the sign of a problem.

Mayoral partisanship[edit]

Once mayors elected in 2019 assumed office, the mayors of 65 of the country's 100 largest cities were affiliated with the Democratic Party. Out of the 31 mayoral elections that were held in 2019 in the 100 largest cities, five partisan changes occurred. Democrats gained three mayorships: two previously held by Republicans and one previously held by an independent. Republicans won one office held by an unaffiliated mayor, and one office where the incumbent's partisan affiliation was unknown.

In the elections in Phoenix, Arizona and Wichita, Kansas, Democrats won seats with Republican incumbents. In Wichita, Democrat Brandon Whipple defeated Republican incumbent Jeff Longwell. In Raleigh, North Carolina, a Democrat won a seat previously held by an independent. In Aurora, Colorado, a Republican succeeded an unaffiliated mayor. In Garland, Texas, a Republican succeeded a mayor with unknown party affiliation. Incumbents did not seek re-election in Phoenix, Raleigh, Aurora, or Garland.
