Background

Peggy Mayfield is the Republican incumbent representing Indiana House District 60, a district covering parts of Morgan and Monroe counties in central Indiana (Source 4). She earned a 100% rating on the Indiana Family Institute's 2025 Legislative Scorecard, voting with IFI's position on all seven tracked bills (Source 1). Her Freedom Index score for the 2025 session was 50 out of 100, reflecting a split record on constitutional questions (Source 2). She faces a contested Republican primary in May 2026 against challengers Mike Moore and David W. Waters, and a general election challenge from Democrat Carrie Syczylo (Source 16).

Positions

Fiscal responsibility

Mixed

Mayfield voted YES on SB 1 (2026), the Medicaid/SNAP welfare reform and immigration verification bill (Source 6). Her Freedom Index 2025 score of 50% reflects votes on both sides of fiscal discipline issues; the Index scored some of her votes — including support for SB 457 (carbon-capture pipeline authority) and SB 314 (WNBA tax exemptions) — as unconstitutional government expansion (Source 2). Overall record is mixed across fiscal-responsibility measures.

Limited government

Mixed

Mayfield was one of 12 House Republicans who voted NO on HB 1032 (2025 special session), the mid-cycle congressional redistricting bill (Source 7)(Source 14). She was specifically identified by name in the Daily Journal as a Johnson County-area representative who broke with the House GOP majority on this vote (Source 14). This vote reflects a limited-government or rule-of-law concern about mid-cycle partisan redistricting. However, her Freedom Index score of 50% documents other votes the Index considered expansions of government power (Source 2).

Second Amendment

Strong support

Mayfield voted YES on HB 1084 (2024), the 2nd Amendment Privacy Act restricting use of firearms transaction codes by financial services (Source 8). She also voted YES on HB 1296 (2022), establishing permitless carry in Indiana (Source 9). Her Freedom Index page records this vote with a constitutionally favorable mark (Source 2).

Pro-life issues

Strong support

Mayfield voted YES on HB 1041 (2025), Save Women's College Sports (Source 12). SB 236 (2026), the abortion-inducing drug ban, passed the Senate but did not receive a House floor vote, dying in the House Public Health Committee; no House roll call exists for Mayfield on this bill (Source 13). Her Freedom Index record includes a YES vote on SB 480 (2023, prohibiting gender-transition procedures for minors) and records her vote on the 2022 right-to-life amendment (Source 2). Her 2025 IFI 100% rating further documents consistent pro-life alignment (Source 1).

Family values

Strong support

Mayfield voted YES on all seven bills tracked by the 2025 IFI Legislative Scorecard, earning a 100% rating: HB 1041 (Save Women's College Sports), HB 1102 (Religious Liberty in Early Childhood Programs), HB 1348 (Homeschool Graduate Non-Discrimination), SB 143 (Parental Rights as Fundamental Right), SB 287 (Transparency in School Board Elections), SB 289 (DEI Prohibition in Education), and SB 442 (School Board Instruction on Human Sexuality) (Source 1).
