Former Attorney General Hill enters congressional race

ELKHART, Ind. – Former Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill has announced that he will run in the upcoming caucuses to fill the ballot vacancy for the 2nd Congressional District for both the general election and the special election. The vacancy was created by the death of Rep. Jackie Walorski in a car accident on August 3, 2022. The caucuses will be held August 20, 2022, in Mishawaka.

“Rep. Walorski’s passing was tragic and I continue to mourn the loss of this accomplished stateswoman,” said Hill. “I believe that I can best pay tribute to her dedication to the people of northern Indiana by carrying on her fight for public safety, families, children, and our core conservative principles.”

Hill has been an outspoken supporter of President Trump and vows to continue combatting the Democrats’ leftist agenda. “Our nation has been spiraling downward under the current administration,” he said. “Today, costs are out-of-control, with prices for food, rent and gasoline straining our household budgets. Education has become indoctrination. Public safety has given way to rampant crime. And the rule of law has evolved into witch hunts that threaten our cherished freedoms.

“As your next Congressman, I will fight as a true Conservative to restore common sense and traditional values to our great nation,” Hill said.

Hill earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Marketing from Indiana University. He graduated from the Indiana University School of Law in 1987 and served as Prosecuting Attorney for Elkhart County from 2003 to 2016. Hill is the former president of the Association of Indiana Prosecuting Attorneys and served on the Advisory Board for the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services Division. Hill served as Indiana’s Attorney General from 2017 to 2021. Hill and his wife Teresa have five children. They live in Elkhart.
