Eric Holcomb

INDIANAPOLIS — Today, Monday, Nov. 9, the campaign of U.S. Senate candidate Eric Holcomb announced that it has secured the minimum threshold of voter petition signatures in each of Indiana’s nine congressional districts to quality for ballot access in the May 2016 primary. The Holcomb campaign is the first to reach this important milestone.

“This is an important milestone for Eric and the Holcomb for U.S. Senate campaign,” said campaign manager Justin Garrett. “It shows what we have been saying all along — Eric has the most robust and dedicated volunteer network in the state, a network that has worked tirelessly to make this milestone happen long before the February 2016 deadline.”

Garrett continued, “Rest assured, we are not stopping here. Although we have secured the signatures needed to get Eric on the May 2016 primary ballot, we’re going to continue gathering signatures in every corner of Indiana until January. This campaign never stops.”

Indiana law requires that candidates for the U.S. Senate collect a minimum of 500 valid signatures as certified by county clerks in each of the nine congressional districts for a total of 4,500 statewide signatures.
