Indiana voters this November will choose between two candidates to serve as Indiana Treasurer.
The race is between incumbent Republican Daniel Elliott and Democrat Coumba Kebe.
Indiana's treasurer serves as both the state's banker and chief investment officer. The role oversees the state's Police Pension Trust, assisting local governments in finding low-cost financing and finding investment opportunities.
Elliott was first elected to the seat in 2022. The candidate is selected by a party nominating committee instead of by a primary vote. Elliott was selected to run for treasurer in 2026 by the Republican convention in June. He was uncontested for that role among Republicans.
Coumba Kebe was nominated by Democrats in April. Kebe describes herself as a healthcare professional and entrepreneur running to make sure that Indiana's financial decisions "work for the people they impact." She said managing taxpayer dollars responsibly and promoting transparency in the office are important to her.
On his website, Elliott promotes himself as a strong voice for conservative values. The state's website touts over $1 billion earned from Elliott's general fund investments as treasurer.
Elliott has recently been at events promoting "religious freedom" following comments from Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith about his "hate" for Islam.
