Indiana: Disgraced Ex-AG Looking at Gov Bid: Former Attorney General Curtis Hill was suspended from office during his tenure when an Indiana Superior Court made him leave office for a month as part of his plea for misdemeanor sexual battery. Mr. Hill then would lose his re-nomination campaign to current Attorney General and former Congressman Todd Rokita (R).
Now, Mr. Hill confirms that he is considering entering the open Governor’s primary next year where he would do battle with US Sen. Mike Braun and Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch. Despite the long odds of success, Mr. Hill may well become a candidate. Sen. Braun continues as the clear favorite for the party nomination and to win the general election in November of 2024. Mississippi: Democrat Restored to Ballot: Earlier in the year, the Mississippi Democratic Party, largely in an effort to clear the gubernatorial field for Public Service Commissioner Brandon Presley, disqualified candidate Bob Hickingbottom for not filing certain documents on time and because he once ran on the Conservative Party ballot line. A Mississippi state court ruled this week that the MDP exceeded its authority in disqualifying Mr. Hickingbottom and reinstated him on the ballot. Therefore, it appears he will compete with Mr. Presley for the Democratic nomination in August. It is unlikely that this decision will derail the Presley campaign. The Public Service Commissioner, a cousin to the late rock ‘n roll icon Elvis Presley, should easily win the Democratic primary and then face Gov. Tate Reeves (R) in this year’s November campaign. Gov. Reeves also faces minor Republican competition for his party’s nomination. Comments are closed.
