INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Former Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill is considering whether to join the 2024 Republican governor’s race, nearly three years after his reelection bid was derailed by allegations that he drunkenly groped four women during a party. Hill built a following among social conservatives and his entry into the governor’s race could further complicate what already is shaping up to be an expensive fight for the Republican nomination. Hill said in a statement that he expects to make a decision in the coming weeks. U.S. Sen. Mike Braun, Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch and Fort Wayne businessman Eric Doden are already vying to replace term-limited Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb.
