A Historic Week

Friends, 

This has been a big week for Indiana Republicans. On Tuesday, we wrapped up another municipal election cycle by flipping fourteen mayors' offices across the state leading to a new record of elected Republican mayors statewide. While we celebrate all or our work this election cycle, none was more historic than our victory in Marion, Indiana where Ronald Morrell Jr. was elected the first Black Republican mayor in the state. Ronald was one of six graduates of the Indiana Republican Diversity Leadership Series (IRDLS) who were on the ballot on Tuesday. He and Council Woman Elect Tiffanie Ditlevson of Fishers were both winners. 

After only three years of our IRDLS, it was fantastic to have six graduates on the ballot and two get elected. While this progress is exciting, this is the just the beginning and the work to continue to build and grow our party continues. As such, we are excited to announce the launch of applications for the fourth class of the Indiana Republican Diversity Leadership Series. Following the impressive success the program has had to date, the party is dedicated to further advancing its mission of bolstering its growth. 

This leadership initiative reflects the Indiana Republican Party's firm commitment to genuinely engaging with minority communities and building robust relationships. The upcoming fourth class of the Indiana Republican Diversity Leadership Series is poised to offer a dynamic and enriching experience for participants. Monthly meetings will cover essential topics including civic engagement, campaign management, strategic communications, fundraising, and state government, providing a unique two-way learning opportunity for both class members and elected officials.

As the application process begins, the party invites individuals from diverse backgrounds and experiences to apply for this transformative journey. The application form is available online and must be submitted by December 31st. Following the application period, interviews will be conducted, with the selected participants for the fourth class announced in January 2024. The program is set to commence in February 2024.

Please share this with your networks and encourage anyone interested to apply!
