I’m Noah Leininger, and I’m running for State Representative in District 90. I am a lifelong Hoosier and a six-year teacher in Indiana’s public schools. I am running for State Representative to empower working and oppressed people instead of wealthy elites and corporations. I do not desire a political career or to use this campaign to promote myself, but rather to promote the power of working and oppressed people. I have been organizing with the Indianapolis branch of the Party for Socialism and Liberation since 2018, and seek placement on the ballot for PSL. Socialist Eugene Debs famously served a term in the General Assembly as a Democrat, but I seek election as a critic and opponent of both Democrats and Republicans. Let’s build worker power!
  • I will fight against right-wing attacks on schools, immigrant Hoosiers, and abortion rights. My opponent voted for the far-right anti-Black and anti-trans attacks against schools in the last session, and if re-elected would further cement the supermajority control over Hoosiers' lives.
  • The police are not capable of stopping violent crime. Instead of pouring limited public resources into agencies that do not protect us, we should address the root causes of violent crime. Forcing people to live in poverty is itself a violent crime. Hoosiers should have a right to housing, healthcare, and dignified work. We need to end racist mass incarceration and cash bail.
  • Indiana, the so-called “Land of the Indians,” is a land whose state government refuses to recognize any of the Indigenous nations whose lands now comprise the State of Indiana. The Myaamia, known in English as the Miami Nation, and their related nations of Eel River, Wea, and Piankeshaw; the Neshnabé, or Potawatomi; the Lenape, or Delaware; Kiikaapoi, or Kickapoo; and Shawnee, among others, called the lands of what is today understood as Indiana their homes. These nations built resilient and rich multinational confederacies under the leadership of many Indigenous leaders, before narrow-sighted private ownership of land by white settlers dissolved their sovereignty and power, replacing them in Indiana. We must recognize the Miami Nation.
As a teacher, I am most personally passionate about education. Although I was drawn into the Party for Socialism and Liberation for its position on public schools, its consistent stand on issues I cared about which Democrats steadfastly refused to support cemented my affiliation. When the 2020 rebellion against racism began here in Indianapolis with the protests over the IMPD murders of Dreasjon Reed, McHale Rose, and Ashlynn Lisby, I was in the streets with fellow PSL comrades demanding an end to the war on Black America, a demand that has yet to be taken seriously by elected officials from either capitalist party.

When the General Assembly was debating HB 1041, the bill to illegally bar trans girls from playing girls’ sports, I took the floor to defend trans students. After it passed, the PSL was the only group to organize a protest at Governor Holcomb’s mansion the day before the deadline, with our demonstration concluding just moments before he announced his veto. When the Supreme Court opinion to gut Roe v. Wade was leaked, the Party organized two massive protests on short notice when no one else was stepping up to fight for abortion rights. That’s the power of a fighting party of the working class—unlike Democrats, who rule by polling and touting policies that seem popular, the PSL fights for what is right, even when the ruling class tries to drive wedges between working and oppressed people.
