Horse Race: Melton to enter INGov race with McCormick
Tuesday, October 8, 2019 10:27 AM
Howey Politics Indiana
INDIANAPOLIS - State Sen. Eddie Melton will announce his entry into the Democratic Indiana gubernatorial race at 5:30 p.m. tonight (CT) at the Gary Public Library. He will be joined by “special guest” Supt. Jennifer McCormick, a Republican. He will appear at events in Indianapolis on Wednesday. He joins the race that includes Dr. Woody Myers and businessman Josh Owens seeking to challenge Gov. Eric Holcomb. Melton told the NWI Times’ Dan Carden, “Most folks feel that state government is not paying them any attention, is not focused on the issues that matter to them the most. We have to prioritize these issues. These have to be issues that are at the top of our agenda as a state.”
“You still have individuals spending years in prison, that are nonviolent offenders, that are doing 10 to 20 years for having a few ounces of marijuana on them,” said Melton, who favors marijuana legalization paired with criminal justice reforms.
As for whether a Melton-led Democratic ticket might include McCormick, whose elected office is being replaced in 2021 by a governor-appointed secretary of education, he only would say: “All options are on the table ... I’m not ruling anything out.” McCormick has made similar comments.

The Azar, Verma feud festers
"The federal agency I lead, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, is taking swift action to implement it."
- Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
Director Seema Verma
, in Chicago Tribune op-ed. That same day,
Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar
went on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” on Fix News — one of
President Trump’s
favorite TV shows — and claimed credit for driving the same initiative. “POTUS and I envision a healthcare system with patients in the center,” Azar tweeted from the Fox News set. “We’re fighting powerful interests to deliver honesty and transparency in healthcare.” The feud between these two Hoosiers who control more than $1 trillion in annual federal spending has transfixed The White House West wing and Washington. President Trump has asked
Vice President Mike Pence
to quell the Azar/Veerma feud.
Into the impeachment vortex ...
Here we go. Where America ends up in early 2020 after the fourth presidential impeachment that got underway this week is anyone's guess.
When I wrote the Sept. 19 HPI cover story -
"The Double Dog Impeachment Dare"
- the Ukraine quid pro quo scenario was just beginning, becoming a full congressional/media vortex suck. Regular Hoosiers I know aren't paying much attention and are polarized by President Trump.
We'll restate past thoughts on these alleged high crimes and misdemeanors:
1.
Impeachments are messy and unpredictable.
2.
Impeachment is an American tragedy.
3.
Impeachment will result in unintended consequences.
4.
Hoosiers are prepared to render a verdict on President Trump at the ballot box next November.
5.
If we get into a mode where we're impeaching an American president every 20 years, the fragile American experiment will be doomed.
- Brian A. Howey,
publisher
