| Until the 1990's, Indianapolis was considered
to be one of the most conservative metropolitan areas in the
country compared to other major U.S. cities. For 36 years Republicans
dominated city/county government, 32 of which were at the mayor's
office. In 1999, Democrat Bart Peterson defeated Republican
Secretary of State Sue Anne Gilroy, 52 percent to 41 percent,
respectively. Four years later, Peterson won in a landslide
with 63 percent of the vote. However, Republicans lost control
of the City-County Council by just 13 votes -- the first time
Democrats seized control since the inception of Unigov. In 2004,
Democratic power increased yet again in Marion County as the
offices of Marion County Treasurer, Surveyor and Coroner swung
their way, also the first time since Unigov. Republicans still
claim other county offices such as Prosecutor, Auditor, Clerk
and Recorder. |
