Indianapolis, In. – Jennifer McCormick, the Democratic candidate for Indiana Governor, announced Thursday that she has picked former Indiana lawmaker and social conservative Terry Goodin as her announced Lieutenant Governor running mate. “My selection of Dr. Terry Goodin is aligned to our unwavering commitment to restoring reproductive rights and freedoms, prioritizing education and ensuring good paying jobs,” McCormick said. Goodin must still be approved by convention delegates in July, however, In Indiana, delegates in private party conventions decide the nomination of lieutenant governor alongside picks for other statewide offices, such as attorney general. Two other Hoosier Democrats, Bob Kern and Clif Marsiglio have also filed to run for Indiana lieutenant governor at the upcoming state Democratic convention. The Democrat duo will face Republican gubernatorial nominee Mike Braun and his running mate, Ultraconservative pastor Micah Beckwith. Former RNC vice chairman Jim Bopp predicts that the selection of Beckwith could be catastrophic for Braun’s campaign and open the door for a Democratic victory.
