Indiana Democrats To Announce Attorney General Nominee This Week
Monday, June 15, 2020

Indiana Democrats are expected this week to announce who will run for state attorney general this November.

Longtime state Sen. Karen Tallian and former Evansville Mayor Jonathan Weinzapfel are the two front-runners for the nomination, a selection that will be made by state delegates rather than primary election voters.

Both Democratic candidates have taken their campaigns almost entirely online, focusing largely on issues like healthcare access and criminal justice reform. Incumbent Curtis Hill was a motivation to run, too. The Republican attorney general is finishing a month long suspension that was ordered by the state Supreme Court after four women said he groped them during a party.

Questions do remain on whether Hill will be replaced on the ticket by one of three challengers, however Republicans will not decide their nominee until July.
