In 2007, he ran a successful campaign to become the 48th Mayor of Indianapolis, subsequently serving two terms. Throughout his eight years as mayor of Indianapolis, Ballard was that rarity in American politics, an urban Republican, moderate in views and practical in governing, and always completely dedicated to his city.
