Hoosier Republicans,
Indiana Republican Party Chairman Kyle Hupfer has some exciting news to share.
This year, we will make history at our 2020 State Convention! For the first time ever, the 2020 Indiana Republican Convention will be televised and livestreamed. WISH-TV in Indianapolis and its news partners across the state will air our convention live, giving all Hoosiers the opportunity to see our Party of Purpose at work.
While your state committee is working on contingency plans should we need to make changes due to COVID-19, our goal remains to conduct our 2020 convention in the traditional, in-person manner.
And WISH-TV will have access to cover our convention live in whatever form our convention eventually takes.
“This is exciting news for our party,” Chairman Hupfer said. “We’ve always operated in an open and transparent way and continue to look for ways to broaden our party. I’m glad DeJuan McCoy and his team at WISH agreed to partner on this historic first in Indiana politics!”
It is more critical than ever to broaden the reach of our party. Chairman Hupfer recognized the potential that televising our event can achieve. He reached out to WISH-TV, spoke with DeJuan and the team, and the rest is—or soon will be—history.
At the convention, a statewide audience will watch Governor Eric Holcomb deliver the keynote address before he’s on the ballot this November. The governor’s leadership during the global pandemic has earned him high praise. Hoosiers will want to continue hearing more on his vision for the future of our great state.
“It just makes sense to broadcast our convention and let more people see our party at work,” added Hupfer. “Interest in our convention will be high and interest in this year’s election will be even higher. The more Hoosiers we can reach, the more they’re engaged in our state’s future.”
The convention will also be streamed online, allowing Hoosiers outside of WISH-TV and its partners’ viewing areas to watch Governor Holcomb’s keynote speech, our nominations for Lt. Governor and Attorney General, candidate speeches, and additional business we’ll undertake at the convention.
If an in-person convention cannot be conducted in a safe and healthy manner, these speeches and nominations will be delivered in-studio and broadcast live.
Thanks to Chairman Hupfer and WISH-TV, we’ll make history at our convention in June. And then we know that with the hard work and enthusiasm of grassroots Republican supporters like you, we’ll make even more history this November!
Thanks,
Your Indiana Republican Party
