READ IT: Why Philip Foust is Running for Marion County Prosecutor – WIBC
Candidate for Marion County Prosecutor Philip Foust joins Brian Baker and Jerry Lopez to explain why Marion County deserves a stronger prosecutor, and how he hopes to change the status quo.
During his interview, Foust emphasizes his priority to facing juvenile crime and repeat offenders, as well as his dedication to serving the people of Marion County above any political goals.
Philip Foust seeks to put a stop to the “revolving door” of repeat offenders who have been cycled through by a prosecutor in defense attorney’s clothing.
Candidate for Marion County Prosecutor Philip Foust, on WIBC: “What we need is someone who is focused on enforcing the law, seeking justice for victims, and protecting the public.”

Hogsett in Hot Water: IndyStar Exposes Hogsett Rewarding Campaign Donors with Access to City Suite Tickets
“Over the past 18 months alone, major campaign donors who’ve each given at least $5,000 to the mayor have used the suites on at least 20 occasions to take in Pacers, Fever, Colts games and other events at the venues, according to a list of suite attendees requested from the city.” – IndyStar
Flashback: During his 2015 Mayoral bid, Hogsett promised to “renounce all perks of the office” as part of a broader set of ethics promises, including establishing an Ethics Commission which has only met one time since its creation over a decade ago.
Indy Sees Rise in Homeless Population for Third Straight Year – IBJ
