Why do our haters hate us so much they keep reading? Read the Cheat Sheet. Find out.
Now that the primary is over, this is the perfect time to grab a Cheat Sheet subscription. Here’s what was in the most recent edition:
- Locked Out at Home — Diego Morales and his wife both got curb-stomped in their own precinct’s delegate race. Combined, they got fewer votes than one Huckleby.
- The TPUSA “Victory” — Sort Of — Nine million dollars, three real scalps, and Jim Bopp finished dead last in his own home county. Read the receipts.
- The Tax Chair Vacancy — With Holdman out, word around the Statehouse is Sen. Scott Baldwin (R-Noblesville) is the next chair of Tax and Fiscal Policy — right before a 2027 budget year nobody in their right mind envies.
- The Marion County Mirage — SD 29 looked like a 17-vote nailbiter at 9 p.m. Then Hamilton and Boone showed up and ruined the recount story.
- Vote of the Living Dead — Marion County Democrats nominated their Clerk, and the third-place finisher has been deceased since April. Bob showed up one last time. Of course he did.
- Destiny 0-5 — Destiny Wells has now lost five elections in a row. That’s not a streak. That’s a career.
- Stress Test — The Bell/Lopez-Owens fight wasn’t really about the Clerk’s office. It was a dry run for 2027, and the Mayor’s race is looking less and less like a coronation.
- The Long Game — A few things for the victory-lap crowd to chew on while the confetti is still on the floor.
- Plus props to everyone who got on the ballot. And a question for the haters who didn’t.
