INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana Republican Party Chairman Randy Head announced Monday that he’s resigning — effective immediately — after just five months in the role, citing the demands of his full-time lobbyist job.
“It has been the honor of my life to serve as chairman of the Indiana Republican Party for the past five months,” Head said in a news release.
He highlighted the party’s successes under his tenure: electoral victories for the U.S. Senate, governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, and in the Legislature. He also oversaw record-breaking fundraising, per the release.
Head thanked Gov.-elect Mike Braun for his faith, employer Krieg DeVault for allowing him to step away, Indiana GOP staffers for their work, and “every Republican who placed their trust in me.”
The move is a business decision, according to a party insider.
