Background

Darren Vogt is a former Allen County councilman and current Northwest Allen County Schools board member who is challenging incumbent Liz Brown in the SD-15 Republican primary (Source 1). He is reported to be backed by U.S. Sen. Jim Banks and Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita (Source 1). An Indiana gun-owners advocacy group described him as "impressive" and endorsed him specifically based on his expected pro-Second Amendment stance and contrast with Brown's committee record on constitutional carry (Source 1).
