How to read this. Giving to campaigns, spending on elections, lobbying and selling to the government are legal and publicly reported. These pages show what the official records say. They do not suggest anyone did anything wrong.
Source. Indiana Data Hub, “Vendors Data,” fiscal year 2026 quarterly files (state updated them Sept. 8 and Oct. 8, 2026). This file covers payments to vendors through the state accounting system; it does not include every kind of state spending, such as most payroll or Medicaid claims. Amounts include refunds and reversals as recorded. Payments to individual people are left out of the list. Payment records are not the same as contract values: search contracts at the IDOA contract search and the Indiana Transparency Portal.
