Please Sheila dont run again, you were already to old the last 2 times you ran for office , let some younger person do the job. Dont be a "political office hog" Quit while you can still feed your self .
I’ve agreed and disagreed with many comments in BIL. And have always been struck by the general vibe of this Substack. The civility of the dialogue, and the thought that goes into the points people make. The ability to argue for or against, without relying on personal insults. Hoping that it could stay that way.
Thanks again, Dave. Curious as to why was Sanders' name left out of the summary for Senate District 23's race? He's not primarying Deery, but he is in the Democratic primary. His article is linked, but no text in the main article.
"State Sen. Spencer Deery, a West Lafayette Republican, will face Paula Copenhaver, a former Fountain County clerk and a staff member of Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith, in what has been promised to be a campaign in Indiana Senate District 23 spilling over from the failed redistricting push in late 2025."
Nothing intentionally about David Sanders. Good point. The running list of Who's Running and Why includes everyone, along with more information, is available, too. I'll update this file.
Regarding Sheila Klinker running again: What arguments has Sheila made, along with others, to support the claim that she is the best Democratic candidate for 2026?
Competitive races are important for all elections, including party primaries. I hope we see several options on the ballot each cycle this year.
Here’s Sheila more than 40 years ago after her first re-election win

Wow! Love this video of her - and you! I remember those days. Thanks for sharing.
Missed that "Sheila" video before. Love it!
