Max Engling has won the Republican nomination for Indiana Secretary of State, defeating incumbent Diego Morales at the Indiana Republican State Convention. Engling, a senior adviser to U.S. Senator Jim Banks, emphasized strengthening election security and protecting Hoosier investors from fraud during his campaign.

Engling’s Background and Platform

Engling has built a career focused on election policy, government affairs, and public service. He previously worked for the U.S. House Administration Committee, where he focused on election-related issues, and has held positions with congressional leadership and Indiana’s agriculture industry.

With the nomination secured, Engling now turns his attention to the general election, where he will face Democratic nominee Beau Bayh. Engling argued throughout the campaign that his policy background and experience in election administration make him uniquely qualified to lead the Secretary of State’s office, which oversees elections, business services, securities regulation, and dealer services across Indiana.
