Indianapolis, IN, October 6, 2026 —

Shaila Mulholland was officially sworn in as the newest member of the Indianapolis City-County Council on [Date of Swearing In, if available]. She will represent District 10, an area encompassing a significant portion of the Lawrence community on the northeast side of Indianapolis.

Mulholland’s appointment fills the vacancy previously held by former Councilor Ali Brown. The selection was made by the Marion County Democratic Party precinct caucus, following established party procedures for filling council seats vacated mid-term.

Looking ahead, Mulholland has indicated her intention to seek a full term representing District 10. Her candidacy for a full term is planned for the 2027 election cycle. The specific timeline and process for nominations and elections will follow standard municipal election protocols.
