Who is Chloe Anagnos?!?
by Combat Veteran Nicole (Schuyler) Kapuscinski
How I Got Here
Before I jump right into telling the world about HD36 Kyle Pierce's wife Chloe, I need to explain how I got to this point—because nothing about this started as “politics” for me. It started as survival.
I am an Operation Iraqi Freedom Combat Veteran (2008). Back then, Chloe and her husband—Indiana House District 36 Representative Kyle Pierce—were still in high school or just barely old enough to vote. I had no idea who they were, and I wouldn’t learn their names until years later. 12 years later...
I first became aware of Kyle Pierce in 2020 then again in 2022, when he ran as a Republican against Terri Austin, a Democrat. He lost the first round and won the second—and I voted for him both times.
At the time, I believed Kyle Pierce was going to be one of the good guys.
2020 Changed Everything
Most people remember the Pandemic Lockdown as a time of confusion and isolation. For my family, it was also a time of crisis. A time of survival, a bittersweet win, and a loss of multiple family members.
While the world was being locked down, my mother began experiencing serious health issues involving her liver (see www.mcwaterwatch.com). At the same time, my neighbor—someone I had never even met—suddenly appeared claiming he owned part of my property (half acre).
During Governor Holcomb’s lockdown, that neighbor actually sent me a “vacate your property or else” letter, attempting to force me off and out.
That neighbor was Democrat Politician Kenneth Hodson. Anderson School Board Member until 2024. The State allowed him to keep his seat even tho he lied on his candidacy forms in 2020 and lied on Court Record for Squatter's Rights. Hodson didn't meet criteria for either case.
The Truth: He Didn’t Own My Property
Kenneth Hodson did not own my half-acre.
Yes, he had owned the property years earlier—in 2004—but he failed to take the legal steps required to properly split the parcel before fencing in land that wasn’t his. In his mind, it belonged to him, and he was willing to go to extreme lengths to “prove” it.
Two and a half years later, I won the lawsuit fair and square. I also proved that Hodson committed real estate fraud—and that he engaged in election fraud related behavior connected to residency and voting issues.
What This Has to Do with Chloe
By now, some people might be thinking:
What does this have to do with Chloe?
Nothing—and everything.
Because during this time, I started reaching out to elected officials—including Kyle Pierce—for help. I wasn’t asking for special treatment. I was asking for guidance, accountability, and a lawful process to report wrongdoing. I was looking for the complaint department and couldn't find one.
I was begging public officials to intervene while crimes were being committed against me and my family.
Instead, I ran into one wall after another.
“Deaf Ears” in Madison County
It didn’t matter who I contacted.
It didn’t matter how serious the issue was.
No one could answer basic questions. No one could direct me to a functioning complaint department. No one seemed willing to take action—even when evidence was sitting right in front of them.
And the worst part is this:
During the lockdown, I couldn’t just walk into the courthouse to get records.
Access to information was restricted. The system was closed. Everything was stalled, delayed, or blocked.
But I kept working anyway.
I kept collecting what I needed.
I kept documenting.
And I kept fighting (hypothetically speaking).
By 2022, I had won my Hodson vs, Kapuscinski case—
and around that same time, I finally began finding out where and how to file election-related complaints. Madison County didn't have a functioning complaint process and still don't. Neither does Indiana - Diego Morales.
Lesson Learned the Hardway?!?
Before all of this happened, I believed elected officials were supposed to help their constituents—or at least point voters to the correct complaint process and accountability channels.
I didn’t realize that asking questions would make me a target.
I served this Nation, and I’ve voted Republican in Anderson, Indiana since the 1990s. But once certain people got comfortable having my vote, they stopped respecting my voice. I was pushed out and silenced by the “new guys and gals” in local politics—people like Chloe—and by the very party I once stood behind and served this Nation on behalf of the Republican Party.
Because knowledge is power.
And in Madison County, transparency is treated like a threat.
When citizens learn the truth, we start identifying who is violating the law—and we start demanding accountability.
That is how I got here.

The Complaint Work That Led Me Here
I have filed more election-related complaints in Madison County, Indiana than anyone I personally know.
The only person who might rival me is Katherine Callahan.
What most people don’t realize is this: I didn’t fully understand that Madison County essentially did not have a functioning election-complaint process until around August 2024.
Earlier on, Katherine and I got connected—and I will always be grateful for meeting her. She was one of the first people/politicians who actually started answering my election questions honestly and helping me understand what I was dealing with locally in Madison County Indiana Government.
And trust me… it gets better.
Where Chloe Entered the Story
It was through working on Katherine Callahan’s campaign that I finally saw Chloe Anagnos (wife of HD36 Kyle Pierce) in her true form.
I’ll get into those details shortly—but I’m going to say this clearly right now:
Chloe is not the wholesome, Christian, conservative woman she presents herself as online. Behind the scenes, she is calculated, aggressive, and willing to go to extreme lengths to silence political opposition—especially when that opposition threatens her candidates or her inner circle.
But this story wouldn’t make sense if I started with Chloe.
This is a political power chess game,
and there are other players you need to know first.
Think: Mean Girls… but with local politics, influence, and control.
The First Name on My “Corruption List”
If I’m going to start naming names, I have to begin with the man who helped introduce Kyle Pierce to Madison County voters:
RUSS WILLIS.
If it wasn’t for then–Madison County Republican Party Chairman & Election Board President Russ Willis endorsing Kyle Pierce, a lot of us probably would have ignored Pierce completely.
In 2022, I had no idea how deep Russ Willis’s influence went—or how corrupt the local political machine really was.
At that time, I was still in the dark about why my election-related complaints were going nowhere.
It took nearly two more years for me to learn I needed to start pressing the Madison County Election Division and tracking every step on paper.
Forcing Russ Willis to Step Down (peacefully)
In 2025, myself and others helped apply enough pressure that Russ Willis was forced to step down as Chair of the Madison County Republican Party.
That is one of my proudest achievements in local politics—because it proved something important:
This machine can be challenged.
That same year, the Madison County Election Board finally responded to one of my complaints.
But back to the backstory—because Russ Willis didn’t just hold party power. He was positioned inside the election system itself.
Who Is Russ Willis to Chloe Anagnos and Kyle Pierce?
Russ Willis was the County Republican Chair until 2025, but his influence goes beyond party leadership.
Willis was also connected to the Madison County Election Board during the same timeframe my election-related complaints were being ignored, lied about, delayed, dismissed, or mishandled.
Later, I learned he was tied to voter registration operations as well—an area that failed Madison County voters during the 2020 election.
And to make it even worse, members of Willis’s own family worked in the voter registration office in 2020.
Imagine that.
The Hodson Connection (And Why It Matters)
One of the most disturbing parts of this story is what happened with Kenneth Hodson. Somebody failed to conduct a thorough voter-history and residency review before allowing Hodson to run for the Anderson Community School Board. Or… maybe they didn’t fail.
Maybe they chose not to look too closely.
Because what I watched unfold next made no sense politically.
I had never seen a Republican go to such extreme lengths to cover for a Democrat until Hodson and Willis came along. Then Kyle Pierce and Diego Morales equally helped ignore the complaints.
The Complaints That Were “Ignored”
At first, I told myself my early election complaints were being ignored because of the pandemic. But it wasn’t the pandemic.
I was simply naïve in the beginning—and I didn’t start building a complete paper trail until 2021–2022. (I trusted the source - Russ Willis/MCEB)
By 2022, they couldn’t fully ignore my complaint anymore…
but they still played games.
They failed to properly notify me of the hearing 2022 & 2023.
(Insufficient Service of Process)
And it took me another two years to find evidence showing that Russ Willis misrepresented the facts to the public about my complaint and about my legal case involving Politician Kenneth Hodson—who tried to claim “squatter’s rights” against my property. Date of discovery August 10, 2024.
Here is a clip I found on August 10, 2024, after being told that my complaints had been ruled on more than once. Imagine my shock when I realized that they had never sent me a response or served me properly. AND Violated my Due Process Rights and Violated the Indiana Open Door law.
Video: Madison County Election Board June 29, 2023 - Russ Willis, Tim Lanane , and the Madison County Clerk Linda Smith.
Russ Willis lied in the clip above—to the Democratic Chair, to Madison County Clerk Linda Smith, and to the voters of Madison County, Indiana.
My election complaints involving Kenneth Hodson have never been “settled in court,” and Willis never provided me proper notice or documentation about any Election Board hearing related to my 2022 election fraud complaint. That is exactly why I filed another complaint in 2023.
By 2024, I had reached my limit with Madison County’s broken complaint process, and I filed what I can only describe as the motherload of complaints.
Around August 2024, I finally uncovered a key fact: Kenneth Hodson was a confirmed Democrat. I requested his voter history—and what I found confirmed everything I had been saying since 2020. Hodson had not voted in Madison County elections since 2015. Mind BLOWN!!
That discovery was a turning point for me. It wasn’t just upsetting—it was a full-blown paradigm shift. A mind-altering experience.
The more I learned, the angrier I became.
I served this Nation for what… so people like Russ Willis could corrupt Madison County from the inside out. Nothing could have prepared me for what I’ve witnessed from elected and appointed officials—many of whom were endorsed and supported by Russ Willis. Plus, Chloe Anagnos after she and Kyle Pierce moved here in 2020. Then life hit harder.
My mother passed away on November 1, 2024, from an incurable disease she contracted due to groundwater contamination in the 1960s—less than half a mile from the Wheeler Avenue Water Plant in Irondale, Anderson, IN.
Between the water issues in Madison County and the political corruption I’ve been forced to confront, it has been a wild and exhausting journey. What people don’t understand is that these problems are connected. Decades of ignoring public health and basic accountability have pushed our community into a full-scale emergency water crisis.
If local officials had done their jobs years ago, we wouldn’t be here today fighting in public meetings—or online—just to be heard. Instead, citizens are silenced, public participation is blocked, and taxpayer money is spent on projects like watchtowers, historic building restorations, and pet priorities—while critical needs like clean water and real infrastructure are left behind.
This toxic environment and petty political culture have been normalized—and even promoted—by Chloe Anagnos and her allies, including her husband Kyle Pierce, who I voted for in 2020 & 2022.
By 2025, everything came to a head: Russ Willis, Madison County Elections, the Madison County Republican Women’s Club, and Chloe Anagnos all collided in the same storyline. Say What?!?
Eventually, Russ Willis stepped down. But when I finally received a letter from the Madison County Election Board (MCEB) in April 2025, it became clear it wasn’t accountability—it was a distraction. The truth is, they wanted Help America Vote Act (HAVA) funding, and one of the requirements is having a functioning election complaint process. That’s when I realized Madison County had never had a functioning complaint process at all. The MCEB claimed they wanted to “work with me” to develop one.
That, too, turned out to be a lie.
During my August 2024 voter history research, I fell into a rabbit hole no combat veteran should ever have to face: accepting the reality that my absentee ballot was stolen while I was deployed to Baghdad, Iraq in 2008.
When I brought it up to Madison County election officials, they stared at me like I was speaking another language. I heard excuse after excuse. But I did what I’ve had to do this entire time: I investigated it myself. I obtained records and documents most voters never see.
And in that moment, I realized something painful—Madison County does not respect soldiers and veterans the way it claims to. They don’t care what we have to say, and when we uncover violations of federal law, no elected or appointed official here is willing to stand up and end the corruption.
Involving Kyle Pierce was a defining moment for me. Instead of treating the stolen ballot as a serious crime, he dismissed it as an “accident.” But ballots don’t get accidentally canceled and then resubmitted as a walk-in. That is a crime. Kyle Pierce acted like it was no big deal that my vote was stolen.
And I couldn’t help but ask: why?
Why would a sitting state representative be so casual about something that serious? Either he didn’t want to deal with it—or he didn’t want to investigate the same political insiders who helped elect and endorse him. Either way, it was the moment I stopped trusting him. We have not gotten along since.
At that point, I didn’t even bother filing a separate complaint about the stolen absentee ballot. There was no point. Madison County had already proven the complaint process was broken. Many of the complaints never made it to the public, and the Election Board—led by Clerk Linda Smith—kept redirecting attention onto distractions, including Larry Savage and the “missing” test ballot that couldn’t even be used in the 2024 election.
Meanwhile, many of us witnessed election misconduct happening in real time—and the State of Indiana still refused to intervene or launch meaningful investigations. The S.O.S. Diego Morales Office says that no one has jurisdiction over the Madison County Election Board. That is a problem!
92 County Election Board's running amuck in Indiana is a scary thought.
In April 2025, an attorney with the Indiana Election Division stated that there was essentially no government agency with jurisdiction over the Madison County Election Board. Then the “new” Board declared anything Russ Willis did was now “moot” simply because he stepped down in March 2025, and they refused to investigate him at all.
That “moot” ruling came after countless other incidents, including:
-
Russ Willis violating Rob Jozwiak
-
Katherine Callahan proving campaign finance violations
-
Rebecca Crumes filing harassment charges after Willis showed up at her home demanding she delete her footage
Those are only a few examples of the corruption Madison County has been forced to endure.
Residency & Eligibility Concerns (HD36) + Residency Compliance & Complaint Conflicts of Interest?!?
The most concerning part of all of this is what happened once I started reaching out to Chloe Anagnos’s husband, Indiana House District 36 Representative Kyle Pierce.
I voted for Kyle Pierce in 2020 and again in 2022. But he ultimately lost my support because of his complete lack of concern when it came to my election complaints, and his wife Chloe Anagnos ganged up on me with their Political Action Committee a.k.a. Madison County Republican Women's Club.
At first, I didn’t understand why Kyle Pierce was so dismissive—
until I started digging deeper.
That’s when I began to realize something that raised even bigger red flags:
Kyle Pierce appeared to be a Russ Willis “pick” from the beginning 2019-2020.
Which leads me to another serious issue.
Kyle Pierce didn’t move to Anderson until 2020—or at the very least, he didn’t purchase a home here until the pandemic lockdown. So the question becomes: How was he eligible to run in the 2020 election?
The Indiana Constitution is clear about residency requirements, including a one-year residency requirement before qualifying to run for certain offices. Yet somehow, “intent to move here” seems to be treated as an acceptable loophole. Plus, Russ Willis liked to sign off on Candidates whether they met requirements or not. Ex. Democrats who turned Republican without 2 primary voting seasons as a Republican. MAJOR Problem!!
I’m tired of hearing that excuse.
The recurring reliance on “intent to move” as a substitute for actual residency undermines voter confidence and appears inconsistent with the purpose of residency requirements, which exist to prevent non-residents from obtaining ballot access under false pretenses. (Russ Willis/Linda Smith)
In my view, it’s cheating voters when a political candidate claims residency before actually being a true resident of the district. And if that’s what happened here, then that would mean Madison County had two separate politicians supported by or ignored by Russ Willis with residency-related issues.
Even more troubling—when citizens try to file complaints about these issues, the people we’re supposed to complain to are often the same people connected to the problem. In fact, the individual positioned as an authority over election complaints has also faced concerns involving residency and voting from a location that wasn’t their primary homestead address. S.O.S. Diego Morales had issues with his residency during the sometime frame and Russ Willis supported him through his campaign.
That is not accountability.
That is a conflict of interest.
Now that I’ve laid out how I got here—and why the Pierce/Anagnos duo became central to my story—it’s time to talk about the bigger picture.
Because Kyle Pierce and Chloe Anagnos did not operate alone.
Their influence and protection came through a network of local allies, political insiders, and organizations that enabled suppression, controlled narratives, and rewarded loyalty over accountability. Some of these individuals held official positions. Others operated behind the scenes. But the result was the same: citizens asking lawful questions were treated like threats.
"The Political Network Behind the Curtain"
These next sections covers the allies of the Pierce/Anagnos duo—and the local power structure that made their behavior and HD36 win possible.
Kyle Pierce and Chloe Anagnos did not operate in a vacuum.
Over time, I uncovered what appeared to be a coordinated political environment built on political nepotism, alliances, influence, and protection—where certain people are elevated, shielded, and defended, while concerned citizens are ignored, ostracized, or silenced.
In my case, that silencing was carried out through a third-party proxy—someone I now know to be Klye Pierce's wife Chloe Anagnos. I had no idea who she was until after I had already been banned from their Political Action Committee - Madison County Republican Women's Club full of Elected Officials or their spouses. The ban was initiated by elected officials first (Landers/Culp), and once Chloe took control of the Facebook page 2023-2024, she upheld it and enforced it.
The Indiana Federation of Republican Women Club ignored my complaints about Chloe Anagnos. I learned later that Kyle Pierce was one of their biggest sponsors. SO of course, they overlooked the tyrannical power trip because it makes their "P.A.C." look more connected. Chloe was promoted 2025.
To make matters worse, I was then labeled a “terrorist” on social media and treated as a “threat” to their political nepotism club—simply for asking questions, demanding accountability, and refusing to be quiet.
This next section outlines the individuals, organizations, and power players connected to the Pierce/Anagnos duo—whether through endorsements, political clubs, campaign work, party leadership, social-media gatekeeping, or direct involvement in Madison County’s election-administration culture.
Because once you understand the network behind the curtain, the behavior starts to make sense.
Friends, Allies, and Local Power Brokers, OH MY!!
The Supporting Cast (And Why It Matters)
Little did I know how deeply everyone was connected.
The truth is, I didn’t start any of this looking for a political fight. All I wanted was a Homelessness HUB—a coordinated, community-based solution to help people survive and rebuild.
I have volunteered to help the homeless in Anderson off and on since the 90s. That’s also why I was able to map out encampments across the city over time—because I’ve been paying attention to the patterns, the locations, and the reality on the ground long before it became a talking point for politicians.
By the summer of 2023, the Homeless situation had escalated.
The homeless encampments had migrated down the White River and reached the Rangeline Nature Preserve.
I could hear guns being fired at all times of the day,
and I watched the July 2023 Anderson City Council livestream where the issue was discussed publicly.
That is when my world collided with the Madison County Republican Women’s Club MCRWC—between August and October 2023—and it became the beginning of an entirely different chapter of this story. The best thing that came of it was I got to meet Katherine Callahan. Once I teamed up with Callahan is when it was game over for any future alliance with the MCRWC.
How I Met Rachel Landers?!?
(Intro. see also Rachel Landers page on this website)
Around that same time, I met Rachel Landers, who was campaigning to win the Anderson City Council At-Large seat 2023 Election.
Initially, I teamed up with Rachel Landers.
I welcomed Landers and her people into my events. She spoke to me like she truly wanted solutions. She even invited me to serve on a committee to come up with ideas to help the homeless—and I was genuinely excited.
It felt like progress. It felt like we were finally going to build something real.
But it didn’t last very long.
The First “Taskforce” Meeting — and the First Cut-Off
Around the time of their first “Homeless Taskforce” meeting, I had one of my last conversations with Alison Page Ruh. She called me looking for help. She cried to me about not being able to find a warm place to sleep.
That phone call has never left me. Page died on May 29, 2024.
Just a few days later (after the call in October 2023), I found out Rachel Landers and her team held a meeting—and left me out of it.
Whether it was intentional or not, I can’t say with certainty.
But what I do know is this: they took the information I had, used what I provided, and then pushed me out of the process. (Typical Politician Behavior).
When I got upset about being excluded—and after she laughed at me for being upset—Landers started telling people that I, a combat veteran, “had no morals and values.” Landers began the character assassination along with her fellow MCRWC. Her defamation and slander hurt the Homeless Community.
By November 2023, Landers won the election.
And not long after that, I started seeing what I didn’t understand at the beginning of my journey into Madison County Politics & Corruption:
The political nepotism connections in Madison County, Indiana run deep.
Political Nepotism
& the Madison County Republican Women’s Club (MCRWC)
In 2023, I didn’t even understand what a Political Action Committee (PAC) was.
I had no idea that local politics had evolved into a coordinated ecosystem of influence—where elected officials, candidates, spouses, and political insiders worked together behind the scenes to control narratives, protect each other, and shut out anyone who questioned them.
I also didn’t know—at least not yet—that there were multiple elected officials from different positions in Madison County who operated as a unified political bloc. I wouldn’t learn the full extent of those connections until later.
But by the end of November 2023, I made a statement on the Madison County Republican Women’s Club social media page, and I was banned almost immediately.
At the time, I didn’t fully understand why. I wasn’t tracking their internal relationships or their political strategy. I didn’t realize how deeply their networks were shaping my community—or how much it was already affecting me personally.
Years later, it became clear.
Once I finally connected the dots, everything made sense.
Madison County wasn’t struggling because of “bad luck” or “lack of resources.” We were struggling because too many of the same people were operating on the same team—helping each other get elected, protecting each other from accountability, and rewarding loyalty over qualifications.
And when I refused to play along, the attacks started.
Elected officials and their spouses began spreading false information about me behind the scenes, bullying me in political spaces, and escalating their behavior on social media. It wasn’t just rude—it was coordinated.
At one point, Anderson City Council Member Jennifer Culp even yelled at me to “go sit down.” December 2024 things came to a head at a City Council Meeting. Then Culp turned around and tried to slap me with a protective order when she was the obvious aggressor.
That moment was a wake-up call.
That was the moment I realized what was happening—and why a certain circle of women had been so determined to undermine me at every turn.
I am their opposition.
And I can outmatch them in local debate, public records, and issues affecting Madison County. Many of them are not qualified for leadership, but their alliance gives them something they value more than qualifications: power, control, and protection.
And it shows—publicly.
Their favoritism is on display through trophies, awards, and recognition given to the same people who help maintain a system that does not serve voters or taxpayers.
There is no meaningful oversight.
No transparency.
No accountability.
What Madison County has is political nepotism from the top down—connected through party networks and Political Action Committees that silence dissent, ignore election misconduct, and shield insiders when complaints are filed.
When the same names keep showing up—Russ Willis, Linda Smith, Jennifer & Todd Culp, Kyle Pierce & Chloe Anagnos, Rachel Landers and others—it stops looking like coincidence.
It starts looking like a system.
And once you see the network behind the curtain, you can’t unsee it.
