Service,
Not Politics
Joe Yochum for Good Government
I’m deeply disappointed to share that, because of a procedural filing error by the Indiana Democratic
Party, I will not appear on the November 2026 ballot for Indiana State Senate District 39.
While this is not the outcome I hoped for, my commitment to southwest Indiana has not changed. I will continue to fight for good government in my role as Mayor of Vincennes.
Meet Joe Yochum
and his legacy of service
Joe Yochum is running for Indiana State Senate District 39 to bring practical experience, common-sense solutions and a lifelong commitment to public service to the Statehouse.
A lifelong resident of Vincennes, Joe has spent his career working alongside the people and communities that make southwest Indiana strong. From his early years as a firefighter to his service as Fire Chief and Mayor of Vincennes, Joe has built a reputation for showing up, listening and getting things done.
As mayor, Joe has helped move Vincennes forward through major community projects, infrastructure improvements, economic development efforts and regional partnerships. His work has focused on strengthening neighborhoods, improving quality of life and making sure local communities have a voice in the decisions that affect them.
As state senator for District 39, he will bring the same steady, community-first approach to Indianapolis — working to support strong communities, responsible growth and a better future for the region he calls home.
Keep Up with Joe
