Building the Smartest City in America

We’re building smarter policies and stronger leaders, turning community voices into public leadership.

The Report That Started the Conversation

The SmartIndy Public Safety Report was built from our public safety roundtable with police, fire, EMS, prosecutors, and neighborhood leaders. It identifies the biggest threats to safety and lays out real solutions several of which are now live proposals at the City-County Council.

Smart Policy & Accountability

We push for data-driven budgeting, real public input, and transparency. Our team works to connect civic insights to city decision-making.

Community First: Listening, Learning, Leading

We start in the neighborhoods—listening to the people who live here and understanding their needs. SmartIndy translates community voices into real policy priorities and develops neighbors into leaders who can carry those ideas into public service.

Candidate Recruitment and Support

SmartIndy helps recruit, prepare, and support practical local leaders — specifically for local elections in 2027.
