Glenda Neubauer Ritz (born 1954)[2] is an American educator and politician who formerly served as the former Superintendent of Public Instruction for Indiana. She was elected in 2012, defeating incumbent Superintendent Tony Bennett. She was the first Democrat to serve in the office in 40 years and the first Democrat to win any down ballot race in the state since 1996.[3] She, along with Senator Joe Donnelly, are the most recent Democrats to have held a statewide office in Indiana.
On June 4, 2015, Ritz declared she would run for governor in 2016.[4][5][6] On August 7, 2015, Ritz announced that she would no longer seek the nomination for governor, but rather seek re-election for Superintendent of Public Instruction. Ritz was defeated by Republican challenger Jennifer McCormick.
