Governor Eric Holcomb Sets Record For Cash-on-Hand

Last updated on Thursday, January 18, 2018

(INDIANAPOLIS) - The Eric Holcomb for Indiana campaign closed 2017 with $1.71 million cash on hand, setting a new record for funds in the bank for a gubernatorial campaign at the end of a governor’s first year in office.

"Following an unprecedented 106-day campaign, Governor Eric Holcomb rolled up his sleeves and got to work for Hoosiers, laying down five big-picture priorities that tackle the biggest challenges facing Indiana now and into the future," said Indiana Republican Party Chairman and Holcomb for Indiana Treasurer Kyle Hupfer. "We're now one year in, and the results are already making a big difference in the lives of Hoosiers- from a long-term road funding plan to a dedicated team focused solely on addressing our opioid crisis. This record cash-on-hand position shows that Hoosiers across Indiana are excited to show their support for Governor Holcomb's transformative, solutions-based approach to governing."

For background, former Governor Mitch Daniels' 2005 cash-on-hand was $1.39 million and former Governor Mike Pence's 2013 cash-on-hand was $1.36 million.

"Whether it's advancing Indiana from the courthouse to the statehouse, or it's electing candidates up and down the ballot, Indiana Republicans have a history of setting records," said Hupfer. "Beyond Governor Holcomb's record-setting fundraising year, Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch will post a year-end cash-on-hand total that shatters all previous marks and later this month be on the lookout for a big fundraising number from the Indiana Republican Party. There's no question that Hoosiers are fired up for the big things that are happening here in Indiana."
