Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett and Republican challenger Jefferson Shreve plan to square off this fall in televised debates hosted by WISH-TV Channel 8 and WXIN-TV Channel 59.
Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett and Republican challenger Jefferson Shreve are engaged in a costly campaign advertising fight, which culminated this week with the Shreve campaign demanding that local TV stations pull Hogsett’s latest ad. IBJ has seized the moment to fact-check several ads.
Indianapolis mayoral candidate Jefferson Shreve had a lawyer send cease-and-desist letters to local television stations on Monday over Mayor Joe Hogsett's newest campaign advertisement, alleging it is "false, misleading and defamatory."
Shreve is calling for gun control measures, the hiring of a public safety director and more support to hire and retain police to fill a 300-officer gap.
