Dear Erin and Tim,
I’m Floyd Taylor, the independent candidate for Indiana’s 9th District. You both remain unopposed in your primaries, shielded by party machinery that filters out real competition. I don’t begrudge you for running. I expect you to. But let’s be honest—your campaigns are built on party loyalty, not voter control.
So go ahead. Campaign against each other. Campaign against me. Campaign for or against issues you know full well you won’t touch once elected. Keep pushing your party’s playbooks:
Meanwhile, I—and the voters—will keep pushing for something neither of you can offer: radical transparency and direct voter control. No spin. No filters. No excuses.
I don’t claim to speak for all 700,000+ residents of this district. I built a system that lets them speak through me. Every voice. Every vote. Every dollar tracked. You can’t compete with that, and you know it.
So campaign hard. Try to stop me. Because if I win, it’s not just your careers that change—it’s the end of party politics as you know it. Not just in Indiana. Nationwide.
I’m sure you’re decent people. Your families probably think so. But decency isn’t enough. You know what’s right. You know what’s broken. And you know what you’re protecting.
If you want to do the right thing, withdraw from the general election on July 15, 2026. Cite family, health, or personal obligations. You’ve spun harder stories before.
But if you dig in—if you try to rebrand yourselves as “independent thinkers” while clinging to party scaffolding—I’ll make campaign finance audits my first order of business. I’ll drag sunlight into every corner of Indiana politics, starting with yours.
And just so we’re clear: statistical analysis suggests I will win. By a margin that will make spin irrelevant.
Sincerely,
Floyd Taylor
Independent Candidate for Congress, IN-9
