Fellow Young Democrat,


Get ready to start your engines, Young Dems! As May approaches, we're gearing up for a thrilling race towards the primary election on May 7th. Just like the iconic Indy Car race later this month, our primary is a chance to showcase our strength, determination, and commitment to moving Indiana forward.


This primary is more than just a race—it's a crucial opportunity for us to make our voices heard and shape the future of our party and state. Every vote counts as we strive to break the GOP's supermajority at the statehouse and pave the way for a brighter future for all Hoosiers.


So, buckle up and join us on the track to victory! Together, we can accelerate change and drive Indiana towards a better tomorrow.
