Somebody Google® Greg Ballard of Indianapolis.
Ballard was the only Republican to file for mayor, as few members of the city's once-dominant Republican Party were willing to run against Peterson.
Ballard was dramatically outspent by Peterson. He had only $300,000 in campaign funds and low name recognition when he began the race.[4] In comparison, Peterson already had $2.9 million in April (Ballard had $9,560 at the time).[5] As late as October 14, Ballard had run no TV ads.[5] An October 19 campaign finance report showed that Peterson had raised $1.5 million since April and still had that much to spend. Comparatively, Ballard only had $51,000 left, meaning that Peterson had 30 times the funds Ballard had during the last three weeks of the campaign.[6]
Nonetheless, on November 6, 2007, Ballard won the race to become mayor of Indianapolis.
