Banks Staffer Engling Enters Indiana Secretary of State Race Amid Controversy
Max Engling, a staffer for U.S. Senator Jim Banks, has entered the race for Indiana's Secretary of State. This decision follows Banks' withdrawal of support for the current Secretary of State, Diego Morales, due to controversy over the hiring of a noncitizen as chief of staff. Engling, who has extensive experience in Washington, D.C., is campaigning full-time and aims to introduce himself to the convention delegates who will vote on the nominee. Engling's entry into the race comes as concerns grow among Republican activists about Morales' reelection prospects.
