Under Indiana Code 3-9-2-12, candidates for any statewide office are prohibited from soliciting or accepting campaign contributions in odd-numbered years (i.e., 2021) from the start of budget session until that session is adjourned. This law helps prevent corruption of the budget process via campaign contributions.
On April 26, Holli Stevens, who was appointed Secretary of State in March, most willingly and publicly broke this law. In a Facebook post, she announced her candidacy to be elected to this office in 2022, providing web links for soliciting and accepting campaign contributions. (The other declared GOP SOS candidate, Diego Morales, did the same thing.)
