Mike Pence first planned on running for re-election, but dropped out when he was picked as Donald Trump’s vice presidential running-mate. Instead, current Lieutenant Governor Eric Holcomb is running for Governor. His running-mate is State Auditor Suzanne Crouch.

The Democratic candidate for Governor is former State House Speaker John Gregg, who chose State Rep. Christina Hale as his Lieutenant Governor running-mate.

Rex Bell is the Libertarian candidate for Governor and his running-mate is Karl Tatgenhorst. Independent candidates Adam Adkins and Christopher Stried are also running for Governor.

Indiana elects the State Attorney General every four years and Greg Zoeller (D) won two consecutive terms in 2008 and 2012. Former Lake County Circuit Court Judge Lorenzo Arrendondo (D) and Elkhart County Prosecutor Curtis Hill (R) are running to replace Zoeller.

Indiana voters also pick the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. The candidates for this office are the incumbent State Superintendent Glenda Ritz (D) and Yorktown Community Schools Superintendent Jennifer McCormick (R).
