Notable Endorsements Question[edit]

Why are endorsements by the mayor of Fishers (a top 5 city in Indiana) or the Indiana State Police Alliance and National Troopers Coalition not significant enough to be included? The mayor of Fishers represents as many people as a state rep. 128.210.106.49 (talk) 22:03, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please see WP:ENDORSE. Neither of the groups are necessarily notable, and their endorsement is solely sourced to the candidate's website, not a reliable source. As the mayor of Fishers is sourced to an actual newspaper (and even though he has no article, as a mayor of a town of 100k+ people he's probably notable), I've restored it to the article. ser! ^{(chat to me - see my edits)} 22:18, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lieutenant Governor[edit]

Bob Kern is the ONLY Democrat running on the DEMOCRATIC ticket so he technically is THEE Presumptive Nominee Hey yall153 (talk) 22:48, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have no particular skin in this game but according to what's been said in the edit history, Kern being the only candidate we know of doesn't make him the automatic presumptive nominee. There seemingly could be others running who haven't declared. @BottleOfChocolateMilk: you might know better than I do on this one. ser! ^{(chat to me - see my edits)} 22:53, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The thing is though we you are the ONLY Person in a race YOU become thee PRESUMPTIVE nominee Hey yall153 (talk) 22:56, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hey yall153: Candidates for lieutenant governor don't have to publicly declare their intentions. The 2020 Democratic LtGov nominee, Linda Lawson, did not announce her candidacy before being nominated. Another Democrat could enter the race at any second (and they may have already begun running behind the scene), so Bob Kern is not the "presumptive" nominee and labeling him as such is disingenuous. Bob Kern is a nobody perennial candidate, the Indiana Democratic Party is not going to nominate him for lieutenant governor. BottleOfChocolateMilk (talk) 23:58, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok thanks Hey yall153 (talk) 23:59, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
