  • 2018 General Election Report by IBRG (Update15)
    A report to supporters and members of Indiana Business for Responsive Government (IBRG), the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, and allied organizations. This report will be updated as additional election results are received in the hours and days following. Tumultuous Political Environment Nets Solid Election Wins Indiana Business for Responsive Government (IBRG), the non-partisan political action program of the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, scored a very successful general election. 70 of 74 IBRG- endorsed candidates facing opposition were victorious. Twenty-one (21) additional endorsed candidates did not face general election challenges. Considerable excitement and upheaval in the Indiana electorate this mid-term election certainly created rough waves and realignments around the state. However, in the end there were few ultimate changes in the political status quo for both candidates and seats held by the parties. Republicans swept all statewide races by significant margins, led by an unexpectedly large double-digit margin victory by Mike Braun for the U.S. Senate seat. In the General Assembly, Republican majorities took a relatively modest hit, but not enough to lose super-majority status. In the House, three (3) incumbent GOP legislators were defeated, resulting in a net breakdown of a 67-33 GOP majority. In the Senate, the Republican super-majority was reduced by just one seat to 40-10 with the defeat of notorious Sen. Mike Delph (R-Carmel). Although the final tally changed little, the Senate battlefield was intense and involved more competitive races than seen in the last decade. It’s very hard to look at the 2018 midterms in Indiana state legislative races as a “status quo” election, even though the number of seats changing was minimal.

In this new post-reform era, WellPoint’s Public Affairs function is more important than ever as the government expands its regulatory scope into our key lines of business. By 2015, almost 66 percent of the company’s revenue will be paid either in part or entirely by the federal and state government. For this reason, we continue to play an active role in the political process through our Public Affairs efforts, industry memberships and WellPAC, our political action committee. More than 1,875 WellPoint associates provided voluntary nancial support to WellPAC in 2012. Their generosity allowed our PAC to make contributions of more than $780,000 to federal campaigns and $140,000 to state and local campaigns on both sides of the political aisle in 2012. Our participation in the political process helps us develop good working relationships with Members of Congress, as well as key state legislators, in order to communicate WellPoint’s perspective on a range of issues including the cost and quality of today’s health care, the establishment of insurance exchanges and the expansion of Medicaid.

Beginning as early as 1969, Indiana General Assembly members and tobacco control advocates launched uncoordinated efforts to pass a law restricting smoking in government buildings.
