“With Mike Pence gone, this race is an open seat – and whichever Republican emerges will be saddled with Pence’s baggage”, said DGA executive director Elisabeth Pearson. He said as the next governor, he will answer the call to keep IN moving forward.

“The Democrats have a lot of bills that we have pushed over the years that don’t get hearings because they’re not on the Republican agenda, but nonetheless if John Gregg gets in, maybe someone will give us a hearing on the minimum-wage bill”, she added. The state Republican committee is meeting July 26th to make its selection as to who will run against Gregg.
At this point, however, the fundraising advantage is on Gregg’s side. “He’s a good campaigner”, he says. The leading GOP contenders have a fraction of that. U.S. Rep. Todd Rokita reported $1.4 million during the same period.
Lt. Gov. Eric Holcomb has officially entered the race for governor.
