INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana Democratic Party Chairman John Zody issued the following statement after first-term Governor Eric Holcomb declined to back an impartial investigation of allegations against Speaker Brian Bosma.

“Are political considerations clouding Governor Holcomb’s judgment? He could have easily recommended the House Ethics Committee launch an investigation. Some situations demand leaders rise above the political fray to do the right thing. Faced with such a choice, it appears Governor Holcomb stepped back. To Governor Holcomb, just one question: what should be done?”
