The 2024 Indiana gubernatorial election is shaping up to be a competitive race as Governor Eric Holcomb’s term comes to an end. Several candidates from both the Republican and Democratic parties have either announced their intention to run or are expected to enter the contest.
On the Republican side, Lieutenant Governor Suzanne Crouch has formally announced her candidacy. Other potential Republican candidates include US Representative Jim Banks, and businessman Eric Doden. Each candidate is expected to focus on different aspects of the Indiana economy and social issues to appeal to Republican primary voters.
The Democratic field is also taking shape. Jennifer McCormick, the former Republican state superintendent of public instruction, has switched parties and is running as a Democrat. Her campaign is likely to focus on education, healthcare, and economic opportunity for working families.
The election is expected to be heavily influenced by issues such as the economy, education policy, healthcare access, and social issues. The candidates’ positions on these topics will play a significant role in shaping the debate and influencing voters. With Holcomb term-limited, the 2024 election presents an open opportunity for both parties to vie for the state’s top executive office. The coming months will see increased campaigning, policy debates, and fundraising efforts as candidates seek to gain an edge in this important election year.
