Jennifer McCormick is the only publicly active potential Democratic candidate for the 2024 race to replace Indiana Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb.
Former Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction Jennifer McCormick speaks during a news conference on Jan. 3, 2020, at the Statehouse in Indianapolis.
Any Democrat will face substantial challenges to capturing the governor’s office. Republicans have dominated the state, winning five straight governor elections since 2004. The last time a Democrat won any statewide race was in 2012.During an interview ahead of her campaign announcement, McCormick criticized the Republican-controlled Legislature for what she said was a lack of support for traditional public schools and for pushing a national conservative agenda on social issues.
Republicans are poised for an expensive fight for their nomination for governor with three candidates in the race: U.S. Sen. Mike Braun, Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch and Fort Wayne businessman Eric Doden. They all started this year with campaign bank accounts approaching or exceeding $3 million, while McCormick’s exploratory campaign reported about $40,000 in cash.
As a Republican, she defeated Democratic incumbent Glenda Ritz in 2016 after pledging better relationships with Republican Statehouse leaders following numerous policy clashes between Ritz, then-Gov. Mike Pence and top GOP lawmakers.
