  • Must be at least 21 years old when taking office and have lived in the district for at least a year [1].

About this race

  • House District 90 includes parts of Franklin and Perry townships in southeastern Marion County, according to Ireland's campaign and the House Republican caucus [13, 3]; Boyd's Mirror Indy answers also refer to Franklin and Perry townships [14].
  • Ireland won the open seat in 2024, after Rep. Mike Speedy ran for Congress [15], with 63.6% of the vote [16].
  • Ireland was the only Republican listed in the May 5, 2026 primary, and Wikipedia's race page lists no Democratic primary candidate for the district [16]. Boyd ran in the May 2026 Democratic primary for Indiana's 6th Congressional District, finishing fourth of four with 12.2% [17, 18], and appears on the November ballot as the District 90 Democratic nominee [2].
  • No debate or forum between the candidates was found as of October 10, 2026. Boyd answered Mirror Indy's voter-guide questions; Ireland had not [14, 19].
  • The candidates differ on redistricting, which Boyd opposes and Ireland voted for, and on education: Boyd calls for more public school funding and mandated student-teacher ratios, while Ireland's campaign highlights universal school choice [14, 8, 20, 13].

How this record was put together, and what it does not show

What we list: 28 bills chosen by a rule that does not look at topic: both state budgets, four bills named in advance, the 2025-26 redistricting bill, and in each session and chamber the 3 bills whose final-passage vote drew the most “nay” votes.

  • Votes reflect party caucus dynamics. Indiana has Republican supermajorities in both chambers, and many floor votes split along party lines; a single vote says little without the bill and its context.
  • Bills often die for procedural reasons, such as no committee hearing or a deadline, and a bill marked “not reported from committee” may have become law inside another bill.
  • A third-reading vote is on the version in front of the chamber at that time; the final version can be very different.
  • Authoring and co-authoring are different: co-authors sign on, often in large numbers, and usually did not write the bill.
  • Attendance counts roll calls on bills and joint resolutions (about 89% of numbered roll calls). “Excused” is an absence the chamber approved; “not voting” means no vote was recorded.
