Eric holcomb stopped by evansville monday morning to encourage those undecided voters to cast their ballots -- no matter which side of the aisle they agree with.

"we should all celebrate the fact that people are stepping forward, expressing their voice through their vote and it's going to make a difference.

And i would just encourage a lot of people -- what we've heard from is they want to show up in person."

Was also joined by running mate lt.

Gov suzanne crouch and us senator todd young the middle of serving a six year term after being elected in 2016 and has made controversial waves as a strong proponent of newly appointed supreme court justice amy coney barrett -- a move he says is essential in moving the county forward "folks, there's certain moments in the history of a country that you just have to get right.

And the difference in vision that the national democrats have versus the national republicans is incredibly stark."

Up against holcomb and crouch is libertarian donald rainwater and former state health commissioner, democrat woodrow meyers, who has been vocal about the governor being too lax on restrictions during the pandemic.
