INDIANAPOLIS, IN - The top five candidates to be the Republican nominee for Indiana governor all came out against citizen-led statewide ballot initiatives at today’s GOP debate in Carmel.

Mike Braun, Suzanne Crouch, Eric Doden, Brad Chambers, and Curtis Hill have said they won’t give Hoosiers a direct choice on monumental issues at the ballot box. 

“Citizen-led ballot referendums are how voters across our country have been able to protect their rights, and expand freedoms at the ballot box,” said Indiana Democratic Party Chair Mike Schmuhl. “Hoosiers deserve that right too, but Mike Braun, Brad Chambers, Suzanne Crouch, and the Republican supermajority at the Statehouse want to keep regular people out of the process to protect special interests and their gerrymandered districts.

“A Jennifer McCormick administration will fight to give you a direct voice on the issues that matter most, from reproductive freedom to workers’ rights.”
