Indianapolis, IN— In a decisive display of grassroots support, Indiana Attorney General candidate Destiny Wells announced her campaign raised over $280,000 in the fourth quarter—surpassing Todd Rokita’s fundraising totals for the same period. Since becoming the Democratic nominee in mid-July, Wells has raised over $1 million, driven largely by individual contributions from in-state and powered by organized labor.
Unlike her opponent, whose support is largely drawn from out-of-state contributions, Wells’ campaign continues to garner extensive support from Indiana voters. The Wells campaign listed 906 individual contributions in Q4, with 886 of these coming directly from Indiana residents. In contrast, Rokita’s reported only 45 individual contributions, and just 26 came from in-state—equating to less than two in-state donors per day. Meanwhile, Wells saw an average of 42 Hoosiers contributing each day.
“Our campaign is powered by the people of Indiana, and I’m proud to have organized labor and everyday Hoosiers standing shoulder to shoulder with us,” said Destiny Wells. “Unlike my opponent, who leans on out-of-state interests, we are fueled by the hard-working families of this state who want real accountability and integrity in the Attorney General’s office. This is a movement to bring transparency back to Indiana, and Hoosiers are making it clear they want change.”
According to Rokita’s Q4 filing, more than 77% of his contributions came from outside Indiana. Wells’ fundraising success is a testament to the high level of local engagement in her campaign and the clear desire for a new kind of leadership.
In Q4 alone, Wells received 34 times the number of contributions from Hoosiers as her opponent, underscoring a groundswell of grassroots support heading into the final stretch.
