Three openly gay candidates are vying for a seat on the Indianapolis City-County Council.

According to the Indianapolis Star, the three candidates are breaking ground in a state with only a handful of openly gay elected officials, none of whom are serving on the council.

Zach Adamson is considered the likeliest to win. He has the endorsement of the Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund, a group dedicated to supporting openly gay candidates. Adamson, the owner of a downtown hair salon, is running for an at-large seat on the council against three Democrats.

The 40-year-old Adamson told the paper that his sexual orientation was irrelevant: “There aren't a lot of gay potholes. We don't have gay or lesbian parking meters. I'm focusing on the issues that are impacting people on a daily basis.”

Attorneys Todd Woodmansee, 38, and Jackie Leigh Butler, 55, are looking at a steeper incline because they face Republican incumbents.
