印第安纳州共和党主席基斯林11月12日辞职：副主席约翰逊任临时主席，民主党翻转州务卿与主计长及第5国会选区、自2012年以来首次赢得全州职位
美国印第安纳州印第安纳波利斯消息，印第安纳州共和党主席拉娜·基斯林 11 月 12 日周四辞去州党主席职务。据印第安纳首府纪事报报道，州党办公室在宣布她的决定时说，她将由党副主席吉姆·约翰逊临时接替，直到选出常任主席。她的辞职立即生效。
基斯林曾任韦恩堡市书记官，2025 年 2 月由州长迈克·布劳恩选定出任州党主席，是不到 18 个月内的第四位州共和党主席。她在周四下午晚些时候发布的声明中没有说明离职的具体原因。据印第安纳波利斯星报报道，她是前主席凯尔·赫普弗 2023 年 8 月辞职以来该党第五位领导人。
这次人事变动发生在本月选举结果之后。民主党人博·贝耶赢得州务卿一职，杰茜卡·贝利赢得主计长一职，这是民主党自 2012 年以来首次赢得全州职位。民主党人 J.D. 福特击败共和党联邦众议员维多利亚·斯帕茨，翻转了第 5 国会选区；民主党还赢得至少 21 个此前由共和党掌握的州议会席位，并打破了共和党在州众议院的绝对多数。
布劳恩上周称民主党的大胜是一记警钟，也是共和党人围绕负担能力议题重新聚焦议程的机会。接任临时主席的约翰逊在基斯林当选时出任州党副主席，同时担任蒙哥马利县共和党主席。布劳恩预计在 11 月 16 日的一场竞选活动中宣布竞选连任。
Indiana Republican Chair Lana Keesling Resigns on November 12: Vice Chair Jim Johnson Serves as Interim Chair as Democrats Flip the Secretary of State, Comptroller and 5th Congressional District Offices in Their First Statewide Wins Since 2012
INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana, United States — Indiana Republican Party Chair Lana Keesling resigned from the position on Thursday, November 12, the Indiana Capital Chronicle reported. She will be replaced temporarily by party Vice Chair Jim Johnson until a permanent chair is selected, the state party office said in announcing her decision. Her resignation is effective immediately.
Keesling, a former Fort Wayne city clerk, was tapped by Governor Mike Braun in February 2025 to become the fourth state Republican chair in less than 18 months. She did not share a specific reason for her departure in a statement released late in the afternoon. According to the Indianapolis Star, she was the state party's fifth leader in the three years since former chair Kyle Hupfer resigned in August 2023.
The leadership change follows this month's election results. Democrats won their first statewide victories since 2012, as Beau Bayh captured the secretary of state's office and Jessica Bailey prevailed for comptroller. Democrats also flipped a congressional seat with J.D. Ford's victory over Republican Representative Victoria Spartz in the 5th District, gained at least 21 state legislative seats previously held by Republicans, and shattered the Republican supermajority in the state House.
Braun last week called the sweeping election gains by Democrats a wake up call and an opportunity for Republicans to refocus their agenda on issues of affordability. Johnson, who will be the interim party leader, became the state Republican vice chair when Keesling was elected while also serving as the Montgomery County Republican chair. Braun is expected to announce his 2028 re election bid during a November 16 campaign event.
