State treasurer race will shape how Indiana invests state cash and helps local governments finance projects

Current Publishing reported on Oct. 12, 2026, that Democrat Coumba Kebe, a Noblesville healthcare executive, will face incumbent Republican Daniel Elliott in the Nov. 3, 2026, general election for Indiana treasurer (https://www.youarecurrent.com/2026/10/12/meet-the-candidates-for-state-treasurer/). Kebe said she is running to bring greater accountability to how state dollars are managed and cited her experience in healthcare operations and compliance.

According to the story, Elliott cited record investment returns under his tenure — saying the treasurer’s office earned almost $1.8 billion in three fiscal years — and listed top priorities as strong investment returns to avoid raising taxes, helping communities finance fire trucks, parks and infrastructure through the Bond Bank, and cybersecurity for 911 and local government systems (https://www.youarecurrent.com/2026/10/12/meet-the-candidates-for-state-treasurer/). Kebe emphasized transparency, fiduciary stewardship, diversification and liquidity as her investment approach.
