** This Month with IYD
------------------------------------------------------------
The Young Dems are closing out 2025 with growth across the state.
** Redistricting Defeated
------------------------------------------------------------
After months of grueling work, the Indiana State Senate rejected the Trump administration's plans to rig our maps even more. A sincere thank you to everyone who took the time to make their voices heard. So many organizations contributed to protests, phone banks, and more, empowering people to send a clear message to President Trump and Governor Braun that Hoosiers play fair. As we turn the calendar over to 2026, we are excited to maintain this momentum and build a better Indiana.

** Running for Precinct Chair & State Convention Delegate
------------------------------------------------------------
Filing for Precinct Chair and State Convention Delegate is coming up soon. Running for one (or both!) of these offices is a great way to get involved for the first time in the Democratic Party.
Precinct Chairs (PCs) are critical to our party’s success: they elect county party leadership, fill vacancies when a Democratic elected official cannot complete their term, and are the most local representative of the party in their community.
State Convention Delegates will attend the party’s state convention on Saturday, June 6, 2026 ([link removed]) and nominate the Democratic candidate for several statewide offices including Comptroller, Secretary of State, and Treasurer. Check out the state party’s next virtual training to learn more. ([link removed])
You can file when the filing period opens on January 7th. Filing closes at noon on February 6th. There are a few things to keep in mind:
1. File a CAN-37 with your County Clerk. You must complete a CAN-37 - Declaration of Candidacy for Precinct Committeeman or State Convention Delegate in 2026 ([link removed]) form. If you are running for both PC and Delegate, you must file a separate copy of this form for each office.
2. You must vote in Democratic primaries. Your most recent primary vote must have been in the Democratic primary, or you must get your County Chair’s signoff to run.
3. Your name will be on the 2026 primary ballot. If you win in the May 5, 2026 primary, congrats!
We’d love to see more Young Democrats represented in our party, so don’t miss this chance to engage!

** Support the Young Dems
------------------------------------------------------------
It is the mission of the Indiana Young Democrats to engage young people in the Democratic Party and elect Young Democrats to public office.
But building the future of Democratic politics in Indiana is no small task. It takes resources to organize new chapters, empower young candidates, and ensure people know that the Democratic Party is here to support their families’ needs.
Consider supporting the Young Dems as we strive to advance this mission and build an Indiana we can all be proud of. ([link removed])
