INDIANAPOLIS – John Zody, Chairman of the Indiana Democratic Party, released the following statement after Lieutenant Governor Eric Holcomb was chosen by the Republican State Central Committee to replace Mike Pence as the Republican nominee for governor.

“Eric Holcomb has sought three different public office positions in just one year, and each campaign has carried the same out-of-touch, ideological agenda that has set both middle-class Hoosiers and Indiana’s economy back. This includes RFRA, one of the most restrictive women’s health laws in the nation, and a state economy that has our workers’ incomes falling behind the rest of the country. Eric Holcomb is just another out-of-touch ideologue who will hurt the middle class and undermine Hoosier values.”
