Four hopefuls are competing to be the Republican candidate in the race to replace Rep. Mike Speedy in House District 90 on the south side. Speedy, a Republican, is leaving the legislature to run for Congress.
Andrew Ireland is a former Indiana deputy attorney general who now works in private practice representing trucking companies, according to his campaign website. He is pro-gun, anti-abortion rights and is running to support parental rights in education and lower property taxes. He also pledged to file a bill during his first session that would allow state officials to fire local prosecutors.
Tim McVey said he works for a property management company that oversees storage facilities. If elected, he would like to focus on local control of zoning in his district. He previously ran for the at-large seat on the Franklin Township School Board in 2022 but did not win.
David W. Waters said he is a former pharmacist who recently left his job at Honda to become more politically involved. He has run in Republican primaries before: Last year in the race for Indianapolis City-County Council District 25 and in 2022 against Speedy. One issue he’d like to address as a lawmaker is transparency around how tax increment financing dollars are spent.
Elizabeth Williams also has filed to run in District 90. Efforts to reach Williams were unsuccessful.
