Regional government is just more government. He had no goals since he was handed the job when Pence took the VP job. The IBJ backing him with this favorable article makes me question a lot of things about him. He seems somewhat far left for a Republican . Maybe that is why Mickey Mauer and the IBJ are supporting him.
I’ve sensed a noticeable shift in support away from Holcomb to Rainwater as a result of H’s actions and policies. Will it be enough for him to lose? Probably not, but I actually think there is a chance. I wouldn’t have said that a month or two ago.
I don’t know how people are seeing Holcomb as some type of liberal Republican. He’s been incredibly deferential to the far-right super majority legislature, vetoing only one notable bill (which would have charged the public to inspect public documents beyond simple copying/paper/supply costs), and that bill was also vetoed by Pence in a previous session.
To me, Holcomb is Pence but with a smile and aw shucks attitude, something which Pence was never able to (and still can’t) master. Holcomb also gets some relief since so many of the furthest right policies, such as limitations on a woman’s right to choose, right to work, and other issues were already voted on and passed before he became Governor.
In terms of COVID, Holcomb has been okay but he’s also clearly been trying to get on the good side of the White House. Hell, Holcomb is Trump’s Indiana campaign chair. I think we’ve re-opened too quickly, and our COVID numbers are only as low as they are because counties like Marion are still limiting some gatherings. Marion also gets the brunt of COVID patients and deaths due to suburban and rural hospitals usually not being cut out to handle COVID. So if a HamCo residents dies at Methodist, that is counted as a Marion County death rather than HamCo.
Holcomb is okay for a Republican, and in another era I may vote for him. But I think COVID could have been handled better, and I think Holcomb is unwilling to do another stay-home order no matter what happens. For those reasons, I can’t see myself voting for him.
