The Indianapolis mayoral election of 1963 took place on November 5, 1963 and saw the election of John J. Barton.
Barton won a hotly contested Democratic primary.[1] Barton defeated Republican Clarence Drayer and independent candidate Samuel Unger in the general election.[1]
Barton's campaign platform promised to reform the Indianapolis Police Department, involve the community in decision making, seek federal assistance for Indianapolis whenever possible, practice slum clearance, and make infrastructure repairs.[1]
