(WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- Former Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill has announced he’s joining the 2024 race for governor.
Curtis Hill’s announcement comes three years after his re-election bid was derailed by allegations that he drunkenly groped four women during a party.
His law license was suspended but he was not criminally charged and a court ruled that the women had no ground to sue for sexual harassment because they didn’t work for him.
“Hoosiers are hungry for a proven conservative leader with the courage to stand up for traditional values," Hill said in a statement.
Hill is 62. When he became Attorney General in 2016, he was seen as a rising African American star in the Republican Party.
He’ll face U.S. Sen. Mike Braun, Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch and Fort Wayne businessman Eric Doden. Governor Eric Holcomb can’t seek re-election because of term limits.
