Reclaiming Hoosier Hospitality

Meet Wesley Haffenden

Wesley Haffenden is a seventh-generation Hoosier raised in rural Northeast Indiana, where he learned that Hoosier Hospitality means showing up for your neighbors, working hard, and treating people with dignity.

For nearly a decade, Wesley has helped families buy homes and build stability. He has seen firsthand how rising housing costs, stagnant wages, and skyrocketing utility bills are crushing working people across Indiana.

But instead of lowering costs or improving lives, politicians keep us distracted and divided while corporate donors and utility monopolies cash in.

Wesley is running because he believes Indiana should belong to the people who live and work here, not corporate donors, utility monopolies, or career politicians.

He believes that if we call out the distractions, we can get past the division and reclaim the spirit of Hoosier Hospitality: respecting our neighbors, strengthening our communities, and putting working families before corporate profits.

No more bullying our neighbors.
No more politicians protecting the powerful while everyday Hoosiers struggle.

No Distractions. No Division.

Together, we can build an affordable Indiana, an honest government, and a state that puts people over power.

Let’s Get to Work!

We’re running against mega-donors, corporations, and a rigged system.

Chip in today to fight back!

I was the first Statehouse level candidate to oppose the proposed quarry in Southwest Allen County, and I will continue standing with residents against reckless development that puts corporate interests ahead of our communities. I also oppose efforts to turn this land into large-scale data center development.
