Joseph Hadden "Joe" Hogsett (born November 2, 1956) is an American attorney, prosecutor, and politician who is the 49th and current mayor of Indianapolis. Hogsett served as the Secretary of State of Indiana from 1989 to 1994 and as the Chairman of the Indiana Democratic Party from 2003 to 2004. He was the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate in 1992, for Indiana's 2nd congressional district in 1994 and for Attorney General of Indiana in 2004. He most recently served as the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana from 2010 to 2014. On November 3, 2015, he won the race for Mayor of Indianapolis in the 2015 election.
Hogsett was born in Rushville, Indiana in 1956. He graduated from Indiana University, and received graduate degrees from both Butler University and the Christian Theological Seminary, earning his degree in law from Indiana University. He went on to serve as a clerk for the Monroe County Superior Court and many civic and charitable positions.
In 1986 Hogsett served as campaign manager for Evan Bayh's successful bid for Secretary of State of Indiana. Bayh tapped Hogsett to serve in the position of deputy Secretary of State. Hogsett then managed Bayh's successful campaign for Governor of Indiana two years later and was appointed by Bayh to the office of Secretary of State that Bayh had vacated. Hogsett went on to win election to the office and served until December 1994, when he declined to run for re-election. As of 2014 he is the last Democrat to occupy the office of Indiana Secretary of State.
