Governor Mike Pence is expected to name former State Republican Party chair Eric Holcomb as the state’s new Lieutenant Governor.
Holcomb will replace Sue Ellspermann, who is under consideration to become the President of Ivy Tech Community College.
Pence scheduled a Tuesday afternoon news conference to make an announcement regarding his administration.
Holcomb, a former advisor to Governor Mitch Daniels, just yesterday dropped out of the GOP primary race for U-S Senate.
His departure from that race leaves it a two-person campaign between U-S Representatives Marlin Stutzman and Todd Young.
Holcomb most recently served as state chief of staff to U-S Senator Dan Coats.
He has never held elected office.
