May 8, 2019

RightVoter client Jim Brainard won the highly-competitive Republican primary for mayor of Carmel, Indiana yesterday.

RightVoter partner Kory Wood, an Indiana resident and native Hoosier, stated:

“We are proud to have had the opportunity to work closely with Mayor Brainard and his entire team. It was a closely-fought, rough-and-tumble campaign, and our direct mail, digital advertising, and voter contact were an important component of last night’s resounding victory.”

Carmel, Indiana is a city of nearly 100,000 people. Located north of Indianapolis, it has been rated one of the “Best Places to Live in America.” Brainard defeated challenger Fred Glynn 56-44%.
