Dr. Woody Myers is confident that he can get the 45-hundred signatures necessary by next Tuesday, to qualify as a Democrat candidate for governor. He said he is also ready to take on Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb. Myers must collect at least 500 signatures from voters in each one of Indiana’s nine Congressional districts, just as his fellow Democrat challenger Josh Owens must do also. Owens was busy working on signatures Thursday and returned a statement by e-mail saying that he also expects to beat the deadline. Both men also said they’d be willing to debate Holcomb, should they be chosen as the Democrat candidate.
