On behalf of our partners at the Emerging Leaders Project, Inc. we are excited to announce the 2018-2019 class! A stand-alone, non-profit organization, the Emerging Leaders Project offers free training each year to 40 up-and-coming young Hoosier Democratic leaders who have an interest in running for office or working on campaigns.
Now in its sixth year, the partnership between the Indiana Democratic Party and the Emerging Leaders Project has produced dozens of elected officials, party leaders and activists – with more to come!
Please join us in welcoming the 2018-2019 class. We look forward to their future contributions to our state and Party!
