Brooks releases statement for governor’s race

“Governor Pence has been a strong conservative leader in Congress and in Indiana, and I applaud his selection as Mr. Trump’s running mate. Under his tenure, Indiana continues to be known as one of the best places to do business in the country, has maintained a balanced budget, and has seen its economy and Hoosier jobs grow. Fiscal responsibility, workforce development and business growth are all areas our nation needs to address, and Governor Pence brings an exceptionally strong record of all three to the table.”

“With Governor Pence’s selection, Indiana Republicans have the important task of choosing a new nominee for Governor with the experience and vision to continue the progress Indiana has had under the Daniels and Pence administrations. I have filed to withdraw from the General Election ballot for United States Representative to pursue the vacancy created by Governor Pence’s decision.”
