This fall Indiana voters will return to the polls to elect new leaders for our state. Information that cuts through the noise of traditional candidate debates is essential to informing and engaging citizens in selecting our next governor and other elected officials. For this reason the Indiana University Public Policy Institute will, once again, host its Gubernatorial Candidates Forum. The Indiana University Public Policy Institute produces unbiased, high-quality research, analyses, and policy guidance to promote positive change and improve the quality of life in communities across Indiana and the nation.
Since 2012, PPI has produced the Indiana Gubernatorial Candidates Forum. Not a debate, the forum brings each candidate for governor to the stage to help you learn where each candidate stands on our most important issues without distractions that come with debates.
In Indiana, the 2024 gubernatorial and legislative elections will determine how the state pursues policies for all Hoosier families, including education, health, childcare, our workforce, and much more. These policies affect us in meaningful and sustained ways on a daily basis. In order to cast an informed vote, citizens must understand what the issues are, the candidates’ approaches to those issues, and the legal and political systems within which they must make their preferred policies work.
On September 6, 2024, PPI Director Tom Guevara sat down with all three candidates for governor to discuss key policy issues affecting the future of our state.
