We are proud to announce that the first openly gay major party candidate to run for governor in Indiana, entrepreneur, educator, & community activist Josh Owens will speak at the 2020 Indiana Young Democrats Virtual State Convention on June 20th!

"The Indiana Young Democrats are the voices and leaders that will help flip Indiana blue. I’m excited to join IYD at their virtual convention and talk about the hope I saw from Hoosiers while traveling across Indiana this last year. We are ready for change and inclusive leadership that reflect the values of all Hoosiers, and the young Dems are leading the charge for the democratic party in our state.” said Josh Owens.

“Josh Owens is a new and fresh voice in our party. We are thrilled to have him join us virtually on June 20,” said Arielle Brandy, President of Indiana Young Democrats. “ After running a historic campaign committed to fighting for a better Indiana,  we can’t wait for him to share his story and inspire young Democrats to run and win elections in our state.
