The Redemption Party course: a minor party's founding, claimed for this town

A political party's founding is claimed for Roseland, and the claim prints at the exact strength of the carriers reached — which is one reference article, alone. The encyclopedia article for the Indiana Redemption Party styles it "the state affiliate of the Redemption Party" (Christian-democracy / community-governance) and names its founder as "political entrepreneur Shane Inez" of this town. The article's own cited carriers for the founding — an ABC57 item, "'Indiana Redemption Party' emerges in Roseland," and the Redemption Party's own "Our Candidates" page — were not retrieved despite targeted searches, and that retrieval gap prints with the claim: the founding is neither confirmed nor refuted on the carriers reached, and its settlers are those two carriers or a state organization record (gap G-CIV-1). What the state record does carry stands at its own strength: the Secretary of State's 2024 General Election candidate list prints "MARIA FLEMING — Indiana Redemption Party — St. Joseph County Council, District D — 6/12/2024" — the party on a county ballot, beyond Roseland, at candidate-list strength. No Secretary of State minor-party organization record was returned.

The party's Roseland course, by contrast, stands in the town's own minutes — and runs two years. The town's January 2024 minutes seat the 2023 election's winners: Schalk, President; Catanzarite; McCombs; and Shane Inez, Clerk-Treasurer. The Town Crier Wire of 7 February 2025 (wire strength) then reports the course's turn, in its own words: "Councilman Ryan Catanzarite has resigned effective last week… the second resignation involving a member of the Indiana Redemption Party… Back in September, the council accepted the resignation of Clerk Treasurer Shane Williams-Inez." The record thus carries: the 2023-elected clerk-treasurer resigned, accepted September 2024; a second party officeholder resigned in late January or early February 2025. The successors were reached by the refresh pass (R-8), at Gateway payroll strength (rl-gv8-roster): Ann Rulli succeeded Williams-Inez as clerk-treasurer, and Curt Lynn succeeded Catanzarite on the council; the officer line whole stands in the government files, and the November 2026 roster's currency stands at the 2025 payroll strength reached, no higher. The name forms print as their carriers give them: "Shane Inez" in the encyclopedia and the minutes, "Shane Williams-Inez" in the wire — the pair stands in the register at C4(a), corroborated. However the founding claim settles, the course itself is a small town's political history at its true size: a party of the town's own officer reached a county ballot in 2024, and both of its Roseland officeholders had resigned their seats by February 2025.
