PRESS ROOM < Press Room Jennifer McCormick involved in motor vehicle accident July 10, 2024 Contact: Kelly Wittman, (317) 450-5711 McCormick for Governor press@mccormickforgov.com INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.—Yesterday, Jennifer McCormick and a campaign staffer were involved in a motor vehicle accident on their way to a fundraiser. No one was injured and only one vehicle was involved. A local off-duty EMT was nearby and responded immediately to provide assistance. A local first response team was on site quickly to assess and resolve the incident. “Thank you to all for the well wishes yesterday and this morning. We had a car accident on the way to a fundraiser. Thankfully no one was hurt. A big shout out to all first responders who assist every day in every way.” said Jennifer McCormick. First responders and our police officers work diligently to protect and serve our communities in Indiana. Jennifer McCormick will continue to support these professionals as the next Governor of Indiana. Jennifer is back on the campaign trail today and is looking forward to an exciting state convention this weekend. She will continue to travel the state listening to Hoosiers and prioritizing issues that impact everyday lives. ### About Jennifer McCormick: Jennifer McCormick is a lifelong educator and fifth-generation Hoosier from New Castle, Indiana. She has spent decades serving Indiana as a teacher, principal, and most recently, state superintendent of public instruction. While superintendent in rural Indiana, Jennifer fought to protect local control of school districts to ensure parents, teachers, and administrators could make the best decisions for their children. As state superintendent, she was a powerful advocate for teachers and students, ensuring they had the resources they needed to succeed while protecting taxpayer dollars by demanding transparency and fiscal accountability. Jennifer believes it's time we elect a public servant leader who empowers Hoosier voices so that together, we can make Indiana an attractive state in which to live, work, and thrive.

- Jennnifer McCormick announces campaign for Indiana Governor | Jennifer McCormick for Governor
PRESS ROOM “I’m running for governor because our political leaders have lost sight of the challenges they were elected to solve. They are defunding and politicizing our schools, burdening us with the nation’s highest gas tax, taking our rights away, and standing by as we pay the highest health care costs in the nation. It’s time for a leader who will put Hoosier’s first. Together, we can restore common sense and put an end to the divisiveness that’s pulling our state backward,” said Jennifer McCormick. “I know we can move our state forward by fighting for our public schools, making health care accessible and affordable, and bringing good paying jobs to main streets across Indiana. I loved serving our state and look forward to the opportunity to continue meeting with Hoosiers who believe it’s time for a change.” McCormick launched her campaign with a video that highlights her experience growing up in New Castle, Indiana, where she saw the resilience of Hoosiers firsthand and learned the values of service, excellence, and empowering others. Her commitment to public service led her to the classroom, starting her career as a teacher, before serving as a principal and rural public school superintendent. In 2016 McCormick was elected as the 44th and last Indiana superintendent of public instruction, before the Indiana legislature changed the office to an appointed one. As state superintendent, McCormick fought to take politics out of the classroom and ensure every child had access to the best education possible. Unfortunately, the supermajority in our statehouse are focusing on issues that don’t help working families, a frustration she heard traveling the state during her exploratory committee. Hoosiers are ready for a leader who believes in common sense solutions that make the state one where our children will stay, work, and thrive. INDIANAPOLIS—Jennifer McCormick, a 5th generation Hoosier and former Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction, announced she will run for governor of Indiana, pledging to be a voice for Hoosiers by restoring back common sense and ending divisive politics of supermajority in the statehouse.

- Responsible Government | Jennifer McCormick for Governor
Responsible Government < Issues All Hoosiers deserve a state government that can be trusted, is held accountable, and works for the protections and betterment of all. See Jennifer McCormick’s Commonsense Ethics Plan > We will fight to protect individuals by promoting good policy that protects and respects the rights and freedoms of all individuals and fight against policy that promotes hate. We will budget based on priorities and the responsible use of public tax dollars. We will audit the possibility of merging state agencies and/or their responsibilities to support collaboration for efficient and effective spending and programming. We will scrutinize any tax increases proposed by the republican-led legislature. We commit to making responsible appointments and staffing decisions with individuals who hold the expertise and passion for the specific work. I will only bring forth those who put Hoosiers before political or personal gain. We will govern, including working with the Office of Inspector General, with the highest standards of transparency and accountability to inspire Hoosier confidence in their government. We will speak out against state government overreach and frivolous actions.
- McCormick releases McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Ethics Plan | Jennifer McCormick for Governor
PRESS ROOM McCormick releases McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Education Plan Commonsense plan increases transparency, bans lobbyist gifts, and creates a sexual harassment reporting mechanism < Press Room McCormick releases McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Ethics Plan Commonsense plan increases transparency, bans lobbyist gifts, and creates a sexual harassment reporting mechanism September 5, 2024 Contact: Kelly Wittman, (317) 450-5711 McCormick for Governor press@mccormickforgov.com NEW CASTLE, Ind.— Today, Indiana gubernatorial nominee Jennifer McCormick released her commonsense plan to increase governmental transparency, lobbyist regulation, and elected official accountability to Indiana’s state and local governments. “Hoosiers deserve a transparent, ethical government above reproach,” said McCormick. “Our commonsense plan addresses erosion in public access and transparency, better regulates special interests’ influence of government, locks the legislator to lobbyist revolving door in the Statehouse, and provides a reporting mechanism for sexual harassment.” The McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Ethics Plan will increase regulation of paid lobbying and prohibit lobbyists from gifting anything of value to a legislative person. “It’s common sense that legislators shouldn’t be getting free suite tickets and steak dinners from lobbyists; that’s not advocacy, that’s entertainment,” said McCormick on prohibiting any gifts from lobbyists. Additionally, the McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Ethics Plan increases governmental transparency, standardizes campaign finance and statement of economic interest reporting, tightens the prohibitions on the revolving door of lobbying, and provides a state mechanism to report sexual harassment experienced at the state or local level. “It’s common sense to standardize our campaign finance reporting and statements of economic interests for candidates and office holders at the state and local level,” said McCormick regarding the campaign finance changes. “Combining Indiana’s ninety-three campaign finance reporting agencies into the bipartisan State Election Division makes sense.” ### Fact Sheet: McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Ethics Plan The McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Ethics Plan will increase transparency at the state and local levels, better regulate lobbying, reform campaign finance laws, and provide a reporting mechanism for sexual harassment. The McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Ethics Plan has six primary commonsense ways to provide more ethical and transparent government for Hoosiers (some require legislative action): Increased Transparency in State and Local Government: Restore the legal bias towards public disclosure. Government records are public records unless a compelling public benefit exists to limit their disclosure. Ensure the state legislature is bound by Indiana’s Access to Public Records Act (APRA) law. Include links to campaign finance and statements of economic interests on the Indiana Transparency Portal. Total Lobbyist Gift Ban: Ban lobbyists from giving anything of value to a legislative or executive official, including members of the Indiana General Assembly. “Not so much as a cup of coffee.” Lobbyists should be advocates, not entertainers. Attach criminal penalties to both lobbyists and legislative persons for gift ban violations by making gifts unlawful lobbying. Remove Lobbyists from Political Offices: Registered lobbyists will be precluded from holding a position on a political committee (current law prevents State Party Chairs from being registered lobbyists). Lock Revolving Door: Increase Indiana’s post-employment restriction on lobbying activity from one year after leaving public office to three years. Reform Campaign Finance Reporting: Candidates for public office in Indiana will file campaign finance reports with the state election division (currently, local candidates file with one of 92 county election boards) and standardize quarterly reporting in election and non-election years. Additionally, state and local candidates and elected officials will file the same statement of economic interest form with the state election commission. Sexual Harassment Reporting: The Inspector General will establish a confidential reporting mechanism for sexual harassment committed by state or local elected or appointed officials and lobbyists. After the office's investigation, the Inspector General will inform the state ethics committee of the findings. If criminal actions are warranted, refer the findings to the prosecutor of record. If the matter is noncriminal, the findings will be referred to the appropriate personnel department (state or local HR). If the harasser is an elected official, the ethics committee will publicize the findings.

- IDP congratulates Jennifer McCormick on ballot petition submissions | Jennifer McCormick for Governor
PRESS ROOM McCormick gathered over 9,000 signatures, more than doubling the number needed to make the ballot across the state and in many of Indiana’s nine congressional districts. “Jennifer McCormick is gaining popularity and momentum across Indiana, and her signature campaign is direct proof,” said Indiana Democratic Party Chair Mike Schmuhl. “Hoosiers know our next governor should be focused on taking on special interests, raising teacher pay at local schools, expanding childcare opportunities, protecting personal freedoms, and supporting Indiana’s rural hospitals.” “After 20 years of Republican administrations, it's clear that one-party rule is limiting Indiana’s potential. We need leadership that listens to Hoosiers and protects their rights. Instead, Republicans have stripped away the right to choose and refused to give Hoosiers a direct voice at the ballot box on critical issues like our neighbors. As governor, Jennifer will listen to Hoosiers, restore reproductive rights, and bring much-needed balance to our state government.” “Our party is united behind her, and ready for 2024, while the Republican gubernatorial candidates begin their primary race to the bottom and collectively spend millions to persuade Hoosiers.” With today’s submissions, McCormick now becomes the only Democratic gubernatorial candidate to qualify for the primary ballot.
