The mayoral race between Democrat incumbent Joe Hogsett and Republican challenger Jefferson Shreve of the Southside is the main event expected to lead voters throughout Marion County to the polls Tuesday, Nov. 7.

Hogsett seeks a third term as mayor while Shreve, a former City-County Council member, tries for his first major political elected office. They have waged a battle for votes with two televised debates and a variety of TV ads. 

Hogsett has touted his record as mayor while Shreve insists that the incumbent mayor has failed to lead the city and that it is time for a change. Shreve, who lives in Perry Township, is attempting to become the city’s first mayor from the Southside since Uni-Gov was formed.

The mayor’s race in Beech Grove has attracted interest as voters elect a successor to longtime Mayor Dennis Buckley, a Democrat, who is not running for re-election. The choices in Beech Grove are Democrat Jim Coffman, longtime business owner and current city clerk-treasurer, and Republican Rick Skirvin, business owner, current school board member and former park board member.

In Southport, incumbent Republican Mayor James A. Cooney is opposed by redevelopment commission member and independent Heather Newport. All Republican candidates for Southport’s five city council seats are unopposed.

In Johnson County, incumbent Republican Mayor Mark Myers is unopposed.

Polls are open Tuesday, Nov. 7 from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
