On August 21, the Libertarian Party national committee voted to donate $50,000 to the campaign of Ed Coleman, who is running for re-election to the Indianapolis city council in a partisan election on November 8, 2011. Coleman was last elected as a Republican in 2007, but shortly afterwards he switched to the Libertarian Party. Although he was elected to one of the four at-large seats in 2007, in 2011 he is running to represent the 24th district, in the southeast corner of the city. Indianapolis has 25 city council districts plus its four at-large members.

The 24th district race will be between Coleman and a Republican. Democrats are not running anyone for that seat.
