Joseph Hubert Hogsett, the Democratic mayor of Indianapolis, has kept 6 of 14 major promises tracked—about 43 percent. His record shows significant shortfalls in two key areas: he did not achieve his goal to reduce Indianapolis violent crime, and he did not secure a federal minimum wage increase to $15. Six additional promises remain only partially completed. We don't yet have detailed donor or voting data to show which industries or groups shaped his policy priorities during his tenure.
