(Indianapolis, Ind.) - Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb has lots of money if he decides to run for re-election.
Holcomb’s campaign ended 2018 with $4 million cash on-hand. The Republican won’t have to use it in a gubernatorial run until 2020, when he would run for a second term.
The figure exceeds the amount of cash-on-hand held by any other governor at the end of their second year in office.
“After coming into office following an abbreviated 106-day campaign, today Governor Eric Holcomb is raising record amounts of money, his polling numbers are strong, his coattails ensured Republican victories statewide, and he’s transforming the state in measurable ways,” said Kyle Hupfer, chairman of the Indiana Republican Party Chairman and treasurer of Eric Holcomb for Indiana. “Good policy is good politics and Governor Holcomb is delivering on both accounts.”
Holcomb’s re-election could get some additional funding from his lieutenant governor’s campaign. Suzanne Crouch ended the year with $815,000 in her account.
So far, no Democrats have declared a 2020 run for Indiana governor. Former Indiana House Speaker John Gregg was the party’s unsuccessful candidate in both 2016 against Holcomb and in 2012 against Mike Pence.
