I think Indiana governor's races would be (at least somewhat) competitive if they were held in off years.

Having to run on the same ballot as the GOP presidential nominee makes the governorship a HUGE lift for Democrats (e.g., Romney pulled Pence over the finish line in 2012).

The Indiana Republicans are hatching a plan to hold ALL elections every four years, instead of having the local municipal, school board, township, and county elections in the off cycle. They claim it will save money, but these local races will get lost in the national elections.

And Pence on the VP ticket in 2016 got Holcomb over the line.
