Republican candidate Jennifer Pace (IN-7) refuses to debate....

….because she’s dead.

Republicans nominate dead woman for Indianapolis House seat

On Tuesday, Republicans in Indiana nominated a woman who has been dead for two months to take on incumbent Democratic Rep. André Carson.

Public relations specialist Jennifer Pace won a crowded primary in the state's 7th congressional district with more than 31% of the vote, according to Decision Desk HQ. But according to several reports, Pace — who also ran for the seat in 2022 — died of a heart attack in early March.

According to a Ballotpedia candidate survey, Pace's platform included limiting government interference, parental rights, and addressing inflation.

"My parents instilled that limiting government overreach has always been the Republican way to protect individual freedom, rights and equality of which I'm committed to doing," Pace wrote in the survey.
