INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Democratic Party, the organization that advocates for the future of Indiana and its families, today criticized the Indiana Republican Party for prioritizing a California recall election that has absolutely nothing to do with Indiana and Hoosier families. This week, the INGOP sent a call-to-action email asking Hoosiers to help defeat California Governor Gavin Newsom in the upcoming recall elections. Indiana has no part in that special election on the West Coast and comes at a time when the state entered its “darkest time” against the COVID-19 pandemic.
In fact, Indiana is “on fire” with COVID-19 as it’s become clear the pandemic is currently “winning” across the state. COVID cases, hospitalizations, and deaths are reaching levels not seen since the end of 2020. Indiana schools are experiencing record amounts of outbreaks in classrooms. And what’s worse, the state’s fight against the pandemic has been largely conducted without Governor Eric Holcomb, who has refused to hold a media briefing in more than 163 days.
As Indiana Democrats are focused on delivering solutions for Hoosier families, Indiana Republicans only want to wade into national partisan politics and a form of extreme partisanship that does nothing but distract and divide families and communities.
