Lieutenant Governor

All three candidates for Indiana's lieutenant governor at a debate Tuesday weren’t shy about criticizing current Republican state government leadership.

The candidates Republican Micah Beckwith, Democrat Terry Goodin and Libertarian nominee Tonya Hudson will debate Tuesday, Aug. 13.

Indiana Democratic convention delegates will decide two competitive nomination races at the state party convention this weekend, choosing the nominees for lieutenant governor and attorney general.

On Saturday, the Indiana Democratic Party will host its own convention to nominate its candidates for lieutenant governor and attorney general — similar to the Republican Party’s convention last month in which delegates chose Noblesville pastor Micah Beckwith over party favorite Julie McGuire.

Indiana Democrats will have four candidates to choose from for the party’s lieutenant governor nomination later this month.

Indiana Democrats are trying to capitalize on the opportunity they see in the governor’s race after Republicans nominated self-proclaimed Christian nationalist Micah Beckwith for lieutenant governor.

Republicans’ nomination of Christian nationalist Micah Beckwith for lieutenant governor is shining a brighter spotlight on that office.

Rep. Julie McGuire, endorsed by Sen. Mike Braun faces an unconventional challenge from Christian pastor Micah Beckwith, who has been campaigning for the position for a year and is known for his ultra-conservative views on abortion, gender and sexuality. Nobody in recent memory has run against the governor's choice for running mate.

Former President Donald Trump issued an unexpected endorsement in Indiana’s Republican lieutenant governor race Thursday — backing Rep. Julie McGuire for the nomination.

Incumbent Todd Rokita will be the Republican nominee for attorney general this year after no one signed up to challenge him at the state GOP convention next month.
