INDIANAPOLIS — Democratic candidate for governor John Gregg has turned in 7,800 signatures from supporters to get his name on Indiana’s ballot.
Gregg’s filing Thursday at Indiana’s election division further defined the field of candidates who will vie for the governor’s office in November.
U.S. Rep. Mike Pence filed about 13,000 signatures Monday and could have an open path to the Republican nomination after Fishers businessman Jim Wallace said he came up 111 signatures shy of the number needed to make the ballot.
Libertarian candidate and former “Survivor” star Rupert Boneham did not have to meet the state’s 4,500 signature requirement this week because the Indiana Libertarian Party’s “minor party” status allows it to pick candidates in a closed nominating process.
Gov. Mitch Daniels is term-limited against running for re-election in November.
