Braun Sworn In as Indiana Governor; ‘It’s time to Get to Work’ – RVBusiness – Breaking RV Industry News
INDIANAPOLIS — To kick off Monday’s inauguration ceremony, Tera Klutz, the former auditor for the state of Indiana, said that the ceremony was a way to close one chapter and open another, according to a report by WIXN, the Fox59 affiliate in Indianapolis.
“Let’s get this show on the road so you can start doing,” Klutz told Indiana Gov. Mike Braun during Monday’s ceremony.
Braun. a Republican, was sworn in as Indiana’s 52nd governor during Monday morning’s inauguration ceremony at the Hilbert Circle Theatre in Monument Circle.
This comes after Braun was elected as the state’s new governor in November 2024, defeating Jennifer McCormick, the Democratic candidate and the state’s former superintendent of public instruction, as well as Donald Rainwater, the Libertarian candidate.
During Monday’s ceremony, two others were also sworn in to their respective positions, including Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita, a Republican, and Indiana Lieutenant Governor Micah Beckwith, a Republican.
During Monday’s ceremony, Braun was sworn in last by Indiana Supreme Court Chief Justice Loretta Rush. Braun was sworn in on two Bibles, including his family Bible and the one used by former President Benjamin Harrison.
“It is with immense gratitude that I stand before you to accept the honor of serving as Indiana’s 52nd governor,” Braun said during Monday’s ceremony.
During his inaugural remarks, Braun remembered Indiana’s history, one that included “risk takers” and “trailblazers” who built the state that is here today. Braun said in the face of challenges, the state of Indiana and Hoosiers have come out stronger.
Braun said that the next four years have a special meaning for the state of Indiana, highlighting the transition in power for the state, along with the transition in power at the federal level. Braun said he hopes that former President Donald Trump being back in office will help bring a transfer in assumed power from the federal government to the states.
