On Feb. 9, John Gregg made it official.
He and his son, also named John, personally delivered the petition signatures needed for the former Speaker of the Indiana House of Representatives to be placed on the ballot in the May 8 Democratic primary, running for the office of governor.
A native Hoosier, lifelong Democrat and committed public servant, John Gregg grew up in Knox County and still calls Sandborn home. He started his public service career in 1986 when he was elected to represent Southwestern Indiana in the Statehouse.
John was in the Statehouse for eight terms, rising to the office of Speaker of the House. He served as Speaker for six consecutive years, making him the longest-serving Democratic Speaker in Indiana’s history, when he left office.
John is guided by his Democratic values. As Speaker, John realized his job was to bring people together from throughout Indiana to work on the issues that matter to Hoosiers and the middle class. John cut taxes and balanced budgets, all while overseeing record surpluses. Just as importantly, he accomplished these things by working with people on the issues that unite us — not the politics of division that are far too common today.
In 2002, John voluntarily left office to spend more time with his two sons and to enter into the private sector. Since 2002, John has been the interim President of Vincennes University and is an attorney in Vincennes. In 2008, John re-entered politics, serving as honorary chair of the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign in Indiana.
While his career has been defined by incredible professional success, John’s proudest achievement and greatest love are his two sons, John and Hunter. And those who know John say with certainty that no matter what his future holds, that will always remain true.
John is an author, Hoosier Hero award winner, former university president, loyal Democrat and genuine leader with a proven record of winning all eight elections in which he’s run. With your help, John Gregg will be the next governor of the great state of Indiana.
