From JConline.com:
The governor’s political action committee, Aiming Higher, has spent nearly $1 million so far to deliver control of the Indiana House of Representatives to Republicans, with more likely to be spent before voters go to the polls on Tuesday.
While the money is spread among 27 House candidates and one Senate candidate, about 40 percent is devoted to two candidates: Kyle Hupfer, Daniels’ former head of the Department of Natural Resources who is trying to unseat Democrat incumbent Scott Reske in a Madison County district, and Bob Heaton, an insurance agent running for an open seat in a Vigo County district.
Daniels’ PAC has given Hupfer more than $199,000, including more than $167,000 since Oct. 9. Heaton – running against Democrat Bionca Gambill, a Terre Haute nurse and township trustee, for the seat being vacated by Democrat Rep. Vern Tincher – has received more than $185,000 from Aiming Higher.
