“I am honored and humbled by the State Central Committee’s confidence in me to serve as Indiana Democratic Party Chair,” said Tallian. “As we move forward, it is our job as Democrats to both reunite internally and reunite with the working Hoosiers who may feel left behind by the Party in recent years. I am ready to get to work electing Democrats up and down the ballot.”
