FORT WAYNE – Following tonight’s results, Eric Doden issued the following statement thanking his supporters and congratulating Senator Mike Braun on winning the Republican Primary for Indiana Governor:
“Thank you to each and every Hoosier who supported us along this journey. For three years, we have traveled the state, meeting with Hoosiers and offering our bold vision for Indiana’s future. Through those conversations, I stand before you with an even stronger belief in the greatness and the potential of the people of Indiana.”
When we announced our campaign, we promised to offer a bold vision and real ideas on how to improve lives. It’s why we proposed a Zero-Cost Adoption plan, our Indiana Main Street Initiative, our property tax freeze for Hoosier seniors, and many more. These ideas resonated all across the state, and I am confident that they will be implemented as a result.
While tonight represents the end of this campaign — it is merely a step along the way in our calling to make Indiana even better. God has given us peace and a renewed energy that this is not the end of a journey or the beginning of one, but the continuation of one that will bring many good things. Tonight, we’re going to get some rest, and then, tomorrow, we will go back to work in whatever capacity we can lead and, most importantly, in whatever way we can best serve Hoosiers.
I offer my congratulations to Senator Braun on his victory and, in a conversation with him this evening, renewed my commitment to support him as our Republican nominee for Governor.”
