For an example of the latter, Holcomb pointed to his initiative to send more dollars to beleaguered public health programs — an opt-in program that ultimately 86 out of 92 counties agreed to earlier this year. “We want to make sure that the governance, the structure, the sharing of data, and expertise is actually in place,” Holcomb said. Other examples that Holcomb said would “far outlive me,” include ongoing efforts to expand access to high-speed internet and Indiana’s network of trails. Something else Holcomb wouldn’t reveal until 2024: whether or not he’d endorse any of the six contenders in the Republican primary for governor. Holcomb has worked closely with several of the candidates. Those running include U.S. Sen. Mike Braun, his Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch, his former Secretary of Commerce Brad Chambers, Fort Wayne businessman Eric Doden, his former Attorney General Curtis Hill and mother Jamie Reitenour. But Holcomb said he wanted to see more policy proposals from the candidates and then make the decision whether or not to endorse. “I don’t know if, quite honestly, endorsements still have the impact that maybe they did 50 years ago,” Holcomb said. “I think Hoosiers are very discerning and that’s been proven election after election … so I’ll judge if, A, I think it will be helpful and, B, if I want to.”
