With Pence gone, Gregg lands $500,000 from Democratic Governors Association
The Democratic Governors Association infused $500,000 into John Greggs campaign for governor Tuesday as he now faces an open race for the seat.
With Gov. Mike Pence departing the race last week, Indiana is a significant pickup opportunity for Democrats, said Elisabeth Pearson, the associations executive director.
With Mike Pence gone, this race is an open seat and whichever Republican emerges will be saddled with Pences baggage, Pearson said in a statement. We look forward to playing offense in Indiana this year.
The association previously gave nearly $470,000 in cash and in-kind donations to Greggs campaign during the second quarter of this year. Comparatively, the Republican Governors Association provided nearly $1.5 million to Pences now-disbanded campaign.
