Head
Lobbyist and former state lawmaker Randy Head has surfaced as the Indiana Republican Party’s next head.
He would succeed Anne Hathaway, who recently resigned after a 10-month stint chairing the party.
“I am honored to be considered for Chairman of the Indiana Republican Party,” Head said in a statement to the Capital Chronicle.
“Thanks to President Donald Trump, Indiana went from a toss-up state to a Republican state, carried by nearly 20 points,” he continued. “Indiana is poised to be first on the board for Donald Trump again in 2024, and we have great leadership with Mike Braun, Micah Beckwith, Todd Rokita, and Jim Banks.”
“Our party will bring great results for Hoosiers from the top to the bottom of the ticket and I am excited to get to work for the Republican Party and Mike Braun,” he concluded.
It’s not official until the party’s central committee takes a vote, which is scheduled for June 24. And GOP gubernatorial nominee Mike Braun hasn’t publicly backed him for the post.
Head served as the permanent chairman of the party’s 2024 convention.
He advises clients on legislative issues as part of Krieg DeVault‘s governmental affairs practice and previously was chief deputy prosecuting attorney for the Pulaski County Prosecutor’s Office.
Head served as a member of the Indiana State Senate for 11 years, representing the Logansport area.
During his tenure at the Statehouse, Head chaired several committees and served as part of the Senate majority caucus leadership. He focused on legal issues and local government, authoring several laws that increased penalties and eliminated loopholes for child abusers.
