Elected Governor

Mike Braun
Republican

The 2024 Indiana gubernatorial election was held on November 5, 2024, to elect the next governor of Indiana, concurrently with the 2024 U.S. presidential election, as well as elections to the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives and various state and local elections. Republican Senator Mike Braun won his first term in office, defeating Democrat former state Superintendent of Public Instruction Jennifer McCormick. He succeeded Republican incumbent Eric Holcomb, who was term-limited and could not seek a third consecutive term.

Primary elections took place on May 7, 2024, in which Republican U.S. Senator Mike Braun, Democratic former state Superintendent of Public Instruction Jennifer McCormick, and Libertarian software engineer Donald Rainwater won their respective parties' nominations.[1] Braun defeated McCormick with 54.4 percent of the vote in the general election.[2] Despite this, McCormick's performance marked a significant improvement from that of Woody Myers four years earlier.
