Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN) won the Republican primary to succeed Gov. Eric Holcomb (R-IN) in the Indiana governor’s mansion, breaking through a crowded six-way race that caused a record amount of spending and blanketed the state in ads.

The Associated Press called the race for Braun at 7 p.m. Eastern when all the polls closed statewide. Braun received 39.5% of the votes with 35% of the votes counted. Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch followed with 21.9%, while former state Commerce Secretary Brad Chambers received 17.1%, businessman Eric Doden came in at 13.2%, while conservative activist Jamie Reitenour hovered at 4.4% and former state Attorney General Curtis Hill came in with 3.9% of votes counted.
