James Burke

Independent Ballot status not confirmed

The November ballot

Burke filed with the FEC for this seat. The ballot on record lists Mark Messmer and Mary Allen.

That ballot was recorded October 12, 2026. No source on record says whether Burke qualified for it. Independent and minor-party candidates qualify through the state, often by petition, and the FEC does not track whether they did. Indiana's election office publishes the official list.

Campaign money

Burke has no campaign finance on file yet.

Committees report quarterly; an empty filing is not a statement about the candidate.

Record in office

Burke does not hold a seat in Congress now, so there is no current voting record, cosponsorships or committee service to show here.

That absence is not a position for or against anything.

Candidates and financing from the FEC, public domain. Nothing here is a forecast, a grade, or a ranking of candidates.
