INDIANAPOLIS – U.S. Rep. Greg Pence, from Indiana’s 6th Congressional District, on Tuesday, threw his support behind Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch in her bid for governor, calling her a “proven conservative.”
In a statement, Pence said Crouch “will protect Hoosier values, stand up for families, faith, life, and will always support law enforcement. I am proud to offer her my endorsement as our next Indiana Governor.”
Crouch has focused her campaign on lowering taxes, improving public safety, and fighting abortion — with messaging leaning decidedly further right than her economic development-focused boss, Gov. Eric Holcomb.
She has posted in support of several of the legislature’s session’s most controversial bills, including anti-‘woke’ pension investing, school-parent notification of child pronoun changes, and a massive expansion of the state’s program offering vouchers to private schools. She also commented on a new tax study and a major mental health bill.
Crouch has slowly begun releasing endorsements since the conclusion of the budget-year session. Indiana law bars state officeholders and candidates seeking state office from soliciting or accepting campaign contributions during these sessions.
Lt. Gov. Crouch is running against U.S. Sen. Mike Braun and Fort Wayne businessman Eric Doden for the GOP nomination. Democrat and former superintendent of public instruction Jennifer McCormick has also entered the race, as well as Libertarian Donald Rainwater.
