INDIANAPOLIS - Indiana Republican Party Chairman Kyle Hupfer released this statement following the announcement that Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction Jennifer McCormick will join a potential Democrat candidate's listening tour:
"Today's announcement seems to confirm the rumors of the last few weeks: that Jennifer McCormick is auditioning for a new job -- including as the lieutenant governor nominee on the Democrat ticket in 2020. After being on stage at our Republican Conventions in 2016 and 2018, running on GOP ideals in 2016 and accepting campaign aid from thousands of Republican Party supporters across the state, it begs the question whether Jennifer McCormick is still a Republican. I'm sure someone will ask her that soon."
