INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana Democratic Party Chairman John Zody issued the following statement after Josh Owens announced his intention to seek the Democratic nomination for Indiana governor.

“Josh Owens is a new voice as the process to select the Party’s nominee for governor continues to play out. Hoosier Democrats look forward to learning more about Owens’ campaign and plans for our state. We know Eric Holcomb is a do-nothing governor who has failed to raise teacher pay, lower the cost of health care or clean up state government.”
