INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Democrat candidate for Indiana Governor John Gregg has named State Rep. Christina Hale as his running mate.
Gregg cited her record of bipartisan accomplishment as a key factor.
In the Indiana House, Hale has worked with Republican majorities on legislation to support small business, fight crime, combat sexual assault, lower utility rates and bring attention to the state’s water and sewer infrastructure needs. She currently serves on the committees of commerce, small business and economic development; insurance; and utilities, energy and telecommunications.
“In Christina Hale, I’ve found a partner who shares my commitment to working across the aisle to get things done,” said Gregg, a former university president and Indiana House Speaker. “Throughout her career, Christina has demonstrated that she is a consensus builder, a problem solver and someone who isn’t afraid to take on the tough issues. That’s exactly the type of leadership Indiana needs.”
Hale is the former chief of communications officer with Kiwanis and is completing her second term representing the north side of Indianapolis.
