Accomplishments & What’s Next

Meet Secretary Morales

I am humbled by the support Hoosiers showed when they overwhelmingly elected me as Indiana’s 63rd Secretary of State. I am especially proud to have made history in 2022 as the first Latino and first legal immigrant elected to a statewide office in Indiana.

My career spans both the public and private sectors, providing me with the experience needed to succeed in office. I previously served as an aide in the Secretary of State’s office and in the Governor’s office. In the private sector, I have worked as a business executive, consultant, and entrepreneur.

My life story is one of hard work and dedication. I was born in Guatemala and legally immigrated to the United States with my family. I graduated from Silver Creek High School in Sellersburg, Indiana — truly the best small town in America. Working multiple jobs to pay my way through school, I earned a bachelor’s degree from Indiana University, an MBA from Purdue University, and an International MBA.

Driven by gratitude for the opportunities this country provided me, I enlisted in the U.S. Army and the Indiana National Guard, serving proudly with only a green card in my wallet.

As Indiana’s Secretary of State, I have focused on promoting election integrity, creating a business-friendly environment, and ensuring government accountability.

Public service and community involvement have always been important to me. I was honored to receive both the Sagamore of the Wabash and the Kentucky Colonel for my contributions.

I live in Indianapolis with my wife and greatest supporter, Sidonia, and our daughter. Our family are proud members of Northside Christian Church in New Albany, Indiana.
