(Indianapolis, IN) – Delegates to the Indiana Democratic Party Convention chose former State Rep. and House Minority leader Terry Goodin as gubernatorial candidate Jennifer McCormick’s running mate on Saturday.
Goodin won with 79 percent of the vote and beat out Bob Kern and Clif Marsiglio to become the party’s Lt. Gov. nominee.
Goodin served as a State Representative from 2000 to 2020 in House District 66, which includes portions of Scott, Clark and Jefferson counties.
He was named the House Minority Leader in 2017.
Before heading to the Statehouse, Goodin served as Superintendent of Crothersville Community Schools for 24 years.
McCormick and Goodin will face the Republican ticket of U.S. Sen. Mike Braun and Micah Beckwith in November.
Indiana Democrats also chose Destiny Wells of Indianapolis as the party’s nominee for Attorney General.
Wells is a lawyer and a combat veteran who announced her candidacy last November.
She ran for Indiana Secretary of State in 2022 but was defeated by Republican Diego Morales.
Wells will face Republican incumbent Todd Rokita in the fall.
