INDIANAPOLIS – Unpopular Mike Pence and Eric Holcomb are reunited and back to “touting” a state economy that has falling wages for Hoosiers, below average growth, and a state where they are allowing discrimination against LGBT Hoosiers to be allowed under law.

But while Holcomb is “quite proud” of Mike Pence, Hoosiers have seen what Pence-Holcomb’s ideological agenda have done to our state, and they want to go a new direction.

“Having unpopular Mike Pence hold a campaign stop for his hand-picked lieutenant Eric Holcomb in Fort Wayne means one thing – Holcomb is in trouble with the GOP base,” said John Zody, Chairman. “Republicans are uninspired by Holcomb because he represents the same failed economic policies of Mike Pence – where their wages are lower and they have to work more for less. It’s not the direction Hoosiers want to go.”
