about John Gregg:

John R. Gregg (born September 6, 1954) is an American politician from Indiana. He was a state representative in the Indiana House of Representatives from 1986–2002. He served as Majority Leader from 1990–1994, Minority Leader for a term, and as the 85th and longest serving Democratic Speaker of the Indiana House from 1996–2003.

In 2012, John Gregg was the Democratic nominee for Governor of Indiana but lost to then-Congressman Mike Pence in the closest gubernatorial election in 50 years. On April 30, 2015, John Gregg announced he was seeking the Democratic Party's nomination for governor again in 2016, citing Governor Pence's emphasis on social issues, such as the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, and his policies on public education and Hoosier workers.

Indiana needs someone who will pay attention to public schools instead of trying to shred the education system.
