Indiana Democrats have nominated Destiny Wells as their candidate for attorney general, setting up a battle against Republican incumbent Todd Rokita in the upcoming November election. Wells defeated Beth White for the nomination but faces a tough challenge as Rokita has raised significantly more money for his campaign.
Rokita has raised over three times as much as Wells, giving him a financial advantage as he heads into the race. He has received contributions from a large number of individuals, political action committees, and outside organizations, with donors from across the country. His campaign expenses include payments to various vendors, such as a Utah-based group providing outdoor activities.
On the other hand, Wells has a solid base of donors in Indiana but has raised less money compared to Rokita. She has received individual contributions and donations from a couple of political action committees. Her campaign expenses include payments to a consulting firm.
The financial reports for both candidates show their fundraising efforts and spending from January 1 to June 30. Rokita has a sizeable amount of cash on hand, while Wells has a lower amount as of the end of June. The race for Indiana attorney general is expected to be closely watched as both candidates continue to campaign leading up to the election in November.
