2024 IN Governor's race: on Government Reform
Mike Braun:
Mike fought against the federal takeover of elections
The right of Americans to cast their vote in fair and secure elections is essential to the survival of our Republic. Hoosiers must trust that our elections are free from fraud and guarantee that every legal vote is counted accurately.
As Senator, Mike fought against the federal takeover of elections and as Governor he will stand up to preserve and protect our electoral system from radical liberals in Washington, DC.

Curtis Hill:
Joined suit challenging counting Penn. absentee ballots
Hill thrust Indiana into the legal battle over the 2020 election by joining 16 other states in requesting that the Supreme Court halt Pennsylvania from counting absentee ballots received after Nov. 3. Hill and attorneys general from Oklahoma,
West Virginia, Kansas, Nebraska and Tennessee authored a legal brief saying that the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania's decision to extend the receipt deadline for mail-in ballots shouldn't stand because only state lawmakers can make that decision.

Mike Braun:
Finance lower taxes by running more efficient government
Q: How would you ease the financial pressure on Main Street businesses?A: When you look at a state like ours, that, at least over several years, has gotten used to a decent cash flow, you can always talk about revenues. Number 1, you need to be
starting up not to spend more than you take in and do a pretty good job at that. Property taxes, I agree: We had a system that went out of whack because it was following, it had a system that couldn't respond to inflation like we've never seen before.
But the way you finance any lower taxes would be to make our government run more efficiently. If you get our 30 agencies running better--and believe me there's room for improvement--you can finance lower taxes in
any one of the categories, but you got to do that first. Otherwise, you’re just saying it with no way to do it.

Eric Doden:
Work within system instead of new citizens' ballot question
Q: Should citizens have a right to collect signatures to put questions on the ballot without legislative approval?
A: Right now, I probably don't have a strong opinion on that. I look at our system and I just work within the system.

Eric Doden:
People want accountability & transparency with elections
Q: Do you believe the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump?A: No, I do not. But I also think people should be able to ask questions, and I think people want accountability. They want transparency.
From my point of view, some of the questions and some of the conversations that have happened are conversations that in democracy need to happen.

Develop a nonpartisan redistricting commission
Democracy and voting: McCormick wants to enable citizen-led ballot initiatives in Indiana, develop a nonpartisan redistricting commission

Suzanne Crouch:
Let Assembly decide on citizen ballot questions
Q: Should citizens have a right to collect signatures to put questions on the ballot without legislative approval?
A: Well, it would require a constitutional change and that would be up to the General Assembly. So I trust the General Assembly to make the right decision in that.
