Democratic Association of Secretaries of State Congratulates Beau Bayh, Indiana’s Next Secretary of State
WASHINGTON – Democratic Association of Secretaries of State (DASS) executive director Chelsey Wininger released the following statement congratulating Beau Bayh on being declared the winner in his campaign for Secretary of State.
There are 26 secretary of state elections on the ballot in 2026. Of these, Democrats and Republicans each control 13. This marks the second seat Democrats have flipped tonight.
“Beau Bayh ran a strong campaign on Hoosier values guided by the lessons he learned as a Marine: When facing tough fights, you run toward them, not away from them,” said Chelsey Wininger, executive director of Democratic Association of Secretaries of State (DASS). “Beau will fight to immediately clean up corruption and wasteful spending that has made national headlines. Congrats to Beau Bayh, and Hoosiers, who will have a Secretary of State in January who will stand up for the rule of law and fight for every eligible voter to have their vote counted, regardless of party.”
The Democratic Association of Secretaries of State is the only organization solely dedicated to electing and protecting Democratic Secretaries of States. When you support DASS you’re helping to flip Secretary of State offices into Democratic hands and restore the right to vote.
