Hogsett wins second term, Democrats gain stronger majority in city-county council

More by this author

Marion County voters elected Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett, a Democrat, to his second term Nov. 5 and gave Democrats a stronger majority on the Indianapolis City-Council Council.

Hogsett faced challenger Jim Merritt, a Republican state senator who pushed Hogsett hardest on public safety. The race took a turn after the first debate in late August, when Merritt said his campaign would develop a Black agenda and Hogsett said his would not. Merritt did develop a Black agenda, and there was a debate focused on issues affecting the Black community. Still, Indy Politics polls showed Hogsettā€™s support has remained high among African Americans.

In the city-council, Democrats flipped at least six seats from Republicans, including District 15, where Democratic challenger Jessica McCormick beat Republican incumbent Andy Harris by 43 votes.

In Lawrence, the mayoral race between Republican incumbent Steve Collier and Democratic challenger Jamar Cobb-Dennard was also too close to call on election night, but Collier finished with about 200 more votes.
