Indiana GOP releases delegate names after threats to party leaders

CNN:

Washington (CNN)The Indiana Republican Party on Thursday released the names of its 57 delegates to the national convention, reversing course on its initial decision to withhold the names until they were certified by the Republican National Committee.

 

The decision comes just days after state party leaders reported receiving threatening emails. Indiana State Police investigated the emails, but announced Wednesday they were not criminal.

 

Indiana party leaders selected 27 of their 57 delegates in private Wednesday. The selections were made ahead of the state's May 3 primary because the RNC requires delegate names be submitted at least 45 days before the convention in Cleveland.

 

Indiana's list includes top party fundraisers, former party chairmen, lawmakers and Eric Turner, Indiana's former House speaker pro tem, who resigned in 2014 after an Associated Press investigation found he was using his House seat to protect millions of dollars in profits.
