Rush County 2024 general election races/candidates
June 14, 2024 at 10:46 a.m.
President
Joe Biden, D
Donald Trump, R
Governor
Jennifer McCormick, D
Mike Braun, R
US Senator
Valerie McCray, D
A longtime resident of the Mapleton-Fall Creek neighborhood of Indianapolis, McCray would be the first Black senator to represent Indiana if elected. Her top priority is addressing the nation's mental health crisis. According to her website, she appreciates the merits of capitalism but believes the American version is "narcissistic and sociopathic," made worse by the Citizens United Supreme Court decision that allowed corporations to donate to political campaigns without limits. She also wants to work on affordable housing, ethical artificial intelligence investment, removing interest on student loans and protecting women's rights in the wake of the Dobbs decision.

Jim Banks, R
Banks has made a methodical climb through the ranks of political power ― from county party chair to state senator and now four terms as U.S. representative for Indiana's 3rd district ― and has emerged as a leading Republican in the House's ultraconservative wing. Some of his chief concerns include securing the southern border, cutting down the $31 trillion federal debt and supporting increased military spending. He is also a vocal frontliner on the culture wars, speaking out in favor of more restrictive abortion laws and against "wokeness" in schools. Banks has the backing of former President Donald Trump, the Indiana Republican Party and conservative fundraising powerhouse Club for Growth. (From the Indy Star)
