New Indiana Governor to be sworn in today

Mike Braun will become Indiana’s new governor when he is sworn in today.  He succeeds term-limited Governor Eric Holcomb after winning the election in November.  Braun defeated Democratic nominee Jennifer McCormick and Libertarian nominee Donald Rainwater with 54-point-four percent of the vote compared to McCormick’s 41-point-one-percent and Rainwater’s four-point-five-percent.  Republicans have held the office of governor since Mitch Daniels won the 2004 election
