Gov. Eric Holcomb returns to look back at his eight years in office

The 51st governor of the state of Indiana discusses his recent trip to Ukraine, the death penalty, ballot initiatives and where he sees the state heading next.

Hello, and welcome to The Rob Burgess Show. I am, of course, your host Rob Burgess.

On this, our 268th episode, our guest is Gov. Eric Holcomb.

You first heard Gov. Eric Holcomb on Episode 221 of the podcast.

Eric Holcomb is the 51st governor of the state of Indiana.

Starting in March 2020, I had the opportunity to participate virtually in dozens and dozens of televised press conferences with Gov. Holcomb and other state officials. These were mostly centered around the COVID-19 pandemic, but other topics were also discussed. Here is a complete list: https://www.thisburgess.com/2022/01/televised-press-conferences-and.html

The is actually the third year I have been invited to sit down for a one-on-one interview with Gov. Holcomb. The first two times were at the Governor's Office at the Indiana Statehouse. This most recent discussion took place at the Governor's Mansion. The first time, I did so in my role as Editor of the Wabash Plain Dealer. The past two occasions, Gov. Holcomb was a guest of The Rob Burgess Show.

Thank you to Gov. Holcomb and his staff, especially former press secretary Erin Murphy and current press secretary and director of communications Lauren Houck for taking the time and for helping to set this up.

Well, that’s all I have for you this week. Talk to you again next Friday.

Best,

Rob
