Democrats gain 6 seats in Marion City-County Council
Indianapolis Democrats gained ground in the City-County Council during Tuesday’s municipal election, with four Republican incumbents falling to their Democratic challengers and four Democratic newcomers winning seats.
The victories propelled Democrats toward gaining six seats overall and a 20-5 majority on the council. All 25 council seats were up for grabs.

District 2 was a vital seat for Republicans, and the opposing candidates brought in more money than the candidates in most of the other races.

In District 5, Democrat Alison Brown defeated Republican incumbent Adam Cox with 55% to Cox’s 45%. The previous council member, Republican Jeff Coats, did not run for reelection. It was one of the few council races to make news during the election cycle after an ad posted by Cox that appeared to attack Brown’s sexuality drew criticism, though Cox told IndyStar the ad was taken out of context.
