Lieutenant Governor Eric Holcomb has selected Indiana State Auditor Suzanne Crouch to serve as his running mate in his bid for the governor’s office. Holcomb says Crouch, who has served as auditor since 2014, brings a "strong record, impressive resume and valuable experience" to the table.

An Evansville native and Purdue University graduate, Crouch has previously served as a state representative in the 78th district. She is also a former Vanderburgh County auditor and Vanderburgh County commissioner.

In a statement on his Facebook page, Holcomb said, "(Crouch) is full of energy and passion and is a natural at barnstorming the state. She is a relentless campaigner, a great fundraiser and will be the perfect governing partner if we are honored to serve as Governor and Lt. Governor. I know that working together, Suzanne and I will not only continue Indiana’s growth, but we will take the state we love to the next level. We will make Indiana the best state to live, work, play and stay."

The announcement comes three days after Holcomb was chosen by the Indiana Republican Party to run for the governor’s office following Mike Pence’s selection as Donald Trump’s vice presidential pick.
