Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jennifer McCormick addresses the audience during a town hall on reproductive rights at the Lake County Library on April 29, 2024. A capacity crowd gathered in the meeting room at the Main Branch of the Lake County Public Library Monday to hear Indiana’s gubernatorial candidates Democrat Jennifer McCormick and Republican Jamie Reitenour share their views on reproductive rights.
The former Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction said she entered the race because she believes regardless of political affiliation Hoosiers deserve better, especially a government that is held accountable and transparent. “This is a subject matter that rings true to many of our hearts. It’s an emotional subject. I recognize that,” she said, adding her opinion is based on two main principles: human life has value and human life begins at conception. She said while everyone can agree human life has value, the roads part ways there.
McCormick said there are a lot of people of faith in the room and that plays into everybody’s opinions on reproductive rights and freedoms.
