Decision 2024: Your Voices, Your Future | Indiana Governor Candidate Forum

“Decision 2024: Your Voices, Your Future,” is a forum moderated by Tom Guevara of the Indiana University Public Policy institute (PPI), to provide Hoosiers with unbiased information about the three candidates running for governor. In this video, Guevara conducts one-on-one conversations with the three candidates: Jennifer McCormick (D), Senator Mike Braun (R), and Donald Rainwater (L). Thank you to all three candidates for participating in this event. The questions in this forum were derived from a series of issue papers that PPI will release in advance of the election. Additionally, PPI staff engaged with IU students across the state to develop several questions of particular interest to students and young voters.
