Educator, ACTIVIST, ADVOCATE, Community leader,Progressive Democrat
Clif Marsiglio isn’t running to climb a political ladder. He’s running to build a system that actually works for the people it’s supposed to serve.
For decades in Indianapolis, Clif has turned data into accountability and frustration into organized action. By day, he works in higher education, helping fix what’s broken and strengthen what’s working. In his community, he’s known for asking hard questions, pushing for transparency, and refusing to accept “that’s just how it is” as an answer.
Clif believes that everyone deserves a fair shot—a city where every resident has the chance to succeed and thrive. From safer streets to fair housing to public transit that connects people to opportunity, Clif stands with working families who are tired of waiting their turn. He believes real progress doesn’t come from polite speeches in the face of injustice. It comes from clear priorities, measurable goals, and leadership willing to act.
As a leader on the Near East Side, Clif champions collective power. Neighbors organizing together. Solidarity over symbolism. Public safety rooted in prevention, trust, and shared responsibility. Real safety isn’t about fear. It’s about community.
Clif is a Progressive Democrat who believes accountability starts at home. He expects more from government because Hoosiers deserve more. Clif is committed to clear-eyed progress and transparent delivery, not backroom deals or empty promises. Just honest leadership, clear plans, and the courage to follow through.
He’s running to help build a city and a state that work for everyone.
Issues & Priorities
Public Health & Community Care
My policy priorities include expanding access to healthcare after Indiana’s Medicaid review left many Hoosiers without coverage, strengthening mental health and substance use treatment, supporting harm reduction, and investing in civilian-led crisis response so people in crisis are connected to care instead of jail.
Public Education & Opportunity
Fully funding neighborhood public schools from early childhood through high school and opposing the expansion of private school vouchers that divert resources away from public education.
Housing & Cost-of-Living Stability
Expanding affordable housing, protecting
renters, and addressing rising housing and utility costs so families can afford to live and work in the communities they call home.
Fair Economy & Responsible Development
Ending corporate tax breaks that shift costs onto Hoosier families, including unchecked subsidies for data centers that
strain water and power resources, while ensuring public investments support good wages, safe workplaces, and the right of workers to organize and bargain collectively, so economic growth delivers real benefits to local communities.
Other Issues
Our work extends into every corner of District 46. From defending reproductive rights and expanding transit infrastructure to protecting our environment, see the full list of our priorities and the work we’re doing to move Indiana forward.
DONATE
Movements don't work on vibes alone. They work when they’re funded by grassroots supporters, not charter school money or corporate checkbooks. If you believe public dollars should serve the public, chip in.
