Indiana voters to pick party candidates in competitive, multimillion dollar primaries
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — In deep red Indiana, where Republicans hold a supermajority in both chambers of the state legislature and most top offices are held by GOP politicians, the May 7 primary will determine the outcome of the general election in many races.
The most-watched is the GOP race for governor, a six-way competition of office-seekers who all have cast themselves as outsiders in an appeal to conservative voters.
Indiana also will send at least three new representatives to the U.S. House following a series of retirements.
Here’s a look at the key races:
GOVERNOR
Six Republicans are vying for the seat being vacated by outgoing Gov. Eric Holcomb, who is term-limited. Holcomb has not endorsed a candidate.
The race is the most expensive primary in Indiana history, with about $20 million spent in the first three months of 2024 alone.
The winner of the GOP primary will face long-shot bids in November from the sole Democratic candidate, Jennifer McCormick, and the Libertarian nominee, Donald Rainwater.
