Indiana Democrats respond to former House Speaker John Gregg’s gubernatorial announcement

INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana Democratic Party Chair Dan Parker released the following statement in response to the announcement that former Indiana House Speaker John Gregg has filed an exploratory committee for Governor of Indiana:

“I’ve known John for almost 20 years, first as my leader and now as my friend. I’m delighted that he’s taking these steps to explore a run for Governor.

“Now more than ever, Indiana desperately needs leadership that will focus on jobs and our ailing economy in a way that brings Hoosiers together instead of leaving them divided.

“This is going to be a spirited campaign, and Indiana Democrats look forward to the fight for working Hoosiers and an agenda that puts people first, not partisan, divisive ideological issues.”
