REPUBLICAN SUPERINTENDENT McCORMICK CROSSES PARTY LINES TO ENDORSE WEINZAPFEL FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL

EVANSVILLE, Ind. –  Calling him the best choice for Hoosier families, today Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction Dr. Jennifer McCormick endorsed Jonathan Weinzapfel for Attorney General.

A Republican, McCormick is the latest in a string of high-profile, bipartisan endorsements Weinzapfel, the Democratic nominee for Indiana Attorney General, has earned in recent weeks, including the Indiana State Building and Construction Trades Council and the Indiana State Teachers Association.

“This isn’t about politics, this is about who has the experience, the integrity and the vision to best represent all Hoosiers, especially our children,” said Dr. McCormick. “Jonathan has a well-earned reputation for bipartisan problem solving, for listening and for making a real difference in every job he’s had. That’s why I am supporting him and that’s why I am calling all Republicans to join me in supporting him.”

Prior to her election in 2016, Dr. McCormick was a special education teacher, taught middle school, served as a principal and was Superintendent of Yorktown Community Schools.

“Crossing party lines is never easy, so I am truly honored to have earned Dr. McCormick’s support, said Weinzapfel. “Like Dr. McCormick, I will always put people over politics. I will be an independent voice who will stand up for Hoosier families, who will work with anyone willing to work with me and who will seek common sense solutions to the many challenges that face us as a state.”
