Primary Series 2026
Muncie Resists proudly supports citizen engagement in the electoral process. To that end, we have hosted a Primary Series since 2018. Candidates are invited to fill out a questionnaire, the responses to which will be shared with the public; participate in a public forum; and seek endorsement.
Candidates for township and town races are welcome to fill out the questionnaire and seek endorsement, but due to time constraints, we will not host forums for these races.
Please direct any questions to info@muncieresists.org.
All forums will be held at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Muncie (4600 Bradford Drive) from 6:30 to 8:00 PM
Click on the candidate's name for responses to the Muncie Resists Candidate Questionnaire. You may also see whether they attended the forum.
