test.

   Opinion of the Court
A
The First Amendment “envisions the United States as a
rich and complex place” where all enjoy the “ ‘freedom to
think as you will and to speak as you think.’ ” 303 Creative
LLC v. Elenis, 600 U. S. 570, 584, 603 (2023) (quoting Boy
Scouts of America v. Dale, 530 U. S. 640, 660–661 (2000)).
Often, speech may prove illuminating and inspiring. Some-
times, it can be misguided, offensive, or cause “incalculable
grief.” Snyder v. Phelps, 562 U. S. 443, 456 (2011). But
either way, the First Amendment protects the inalienable
right of every individual to decide for himself “how best to
speak.” Riley v. National Federation of Blind of N. C., Inc.,
487 U. S. 781, 791 (1988). In this Nation, no official—“high
or petty”—may command our tongues or silence our voices.
West Virginia Bd. of Ed. v. Barnette, 319 U. S. 624, 642
(1943).
Consistent with the First Amendment’s jealous protec-
tions for the individual’s right to think and speak freely,
this Court has long held that laws regulating speech based
on its subject matter or “communicative content” are “pre-
sumptively unconstitutional.” Reed v. Town of Gilbert, 576
U. S. 155, 163 (2015). As a general rule, such “content-
based” restrictions trigger “strict scrutiny,” a demanding
standard that requires the government to prove its re-
striction on speech is “narrowly tailored to serve compelling
state interests.” Ibid. Under that test, it is “ ‘rare that a
regulation . . . will ever be permissible.’ ” Brown v. Enter-
tainment Merchants Assn., 564 U. S. 786, 799 (2011) (quot-
ing United States v. Playboy Entertainment Group, Inc., 529
U. S. 803, 818 (2000)).

Candidate for Marion County Clerk.

We met this morning from 9 to 10 am. 

I stated that the board lacked jurisdiction to fine me under the Indiana Campaign Finance Act.  You advised them, incorrectly, that they did have jurisdiction. We spoke. You gave me your card and cited 

3 5 2.1 14 (b)(3) as your authority. I think you mean this statute. Google might not have the text right.

IC 3-5-2-1.14.6 "Candidate"

Sec. 1.14.6. (a) "Candidate" means an individual who:
(1) has taken the action necessary under the laws of this state to qualify for a spot on the ballot;
(2) has publicly announced or declared candidacy for an elected office;
(3) is otherwise seeking nomination or election to an elected office; or
(4) is a write-in candidate under IC 3-8-2-2.5.

(b) As used in IC 3-9, "candidate" also includes an individual who:
(1) is an officeholder who is required to file a statement of organization under IC 3-9-1; or
(2) has:
(A) received more than one hundred dollars ($100) in contributions; or
(B) made more than one hundred dollars ($100) in expenditures;
for the individual's candidacy.

 If that's the statute, I am within the safe harbor of not having raised or spent $100, and not being an officeholder. 

So under the current statute, the board lacks jurisdiction against me. However, I ran in 2024, and had concluded all activity by the effective date of thee new statute, and under the old statute I am within the safe harbor. Third, there would be severe constitutional issues with a first dollar rule which is what I think you were claiming. 

When you advised the Board they could proceed, this brings up a duty of competence. For Kat Ping, a lawyer, to proceed against me ultra vires to chill my article 2 section 1 free speech rights, based on your mistaken advice, could be an ethics problem for the both of you.

Maybe I'm wrong. I'm from Missouri. Show me.  

Please review the correspondence on this issue; it's not like I sprung it on you this morning. This is what I have been saying. 

When we spoke, I was not able to read the fine print on your phone, so I'm not sure what you were quoting. Happy to meet for coffee to discuss, or emails are fine as well.

2nd try.

Outside counsel to Marion County Election Board 

From Robbin Stewart

Candidate for Marion County Clerk.

We met this morning from 9 to 10 am. 

You advised me and the board that the statute has changed.

On a closer look, I think you are correct. The word "also" changes the provision from a safe harbor to an additional regulation.  Indiana is now attempting zero dollar regulation, which is constitutionally problematic. Someone will clean your clock on this point, but I don't want it to be me. 

I will focus instead on the timing. The new statute took effect I think July 1 2025. I ran for township board in 2024 (also in 1996, see Stewart v Taylor.) I spent about $6 during October 24, making some prototype signs that said "Robbin Stewart for Township Board Vote Tuesday" (as in 1996, see Stewart v Taylor. ) After letters from the board threatening prosecution if I made more signs, I stopped. 

There was nothing to report in 2025.  I did not formally disband, and today was the first I heard about the change in the statute.

Under the statute in effect during my campaign, I was within the safe harbor. There have not been even de minimus expenditures after the effective date of the problematic new statute. 

Perhaps we could agree that it might be unwise to proceed? I am open to discussion.  

 

 

In our Clerk’s Conference session with the Indiana Election Division last week we learned of an amendment affecting IC 3-5-2. During the 2025 legislative session, the definition of “candidate” was amended in House Enrolled Act 1679, Section 1 to clarify the word “candidate” currently used in several different ways in parts of the election laws, including the parts of the state election law that applies to campaign finance.

Effective July 1st, 2025, if you are currently holding an office (whether you were elected or appointed) and your position receives $5,000 or more in compensation, then you are REQUIRED to have an open candidate committee for as long as you remain in that office. Therefore, you must also file annual campaign finance reports every January unless you are on that year’s ballot, then you must file Pre-Primary & Pre-Election reports as always. This new requirement applies until you no longer hold that office and then you can disband your committee if you have a zero balance.

Previously, most office holders were encouraged to disband their committees as long as they had a zero balance Unfortunately, with this new law taking effect July 1st, ALL office holders that earn $5000 or more and don’t already have an open committee are REQUIREDto file a CFA-1 form with the Clerk opening their committee and by statute have 10 days to file this; therefore, are due by noon on July 11th. Your first CFA-4 finance report would then be due by noon on January 21, 2026.

You may email, fax or hand deliver your CFA-1 form.
