INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana Gov. Mike Pence has appointed Daniel Huge, chief financial officer of Indiana Finance Authority, to serve in an interim capacity as Treasurer of Indiana.
Indiana Treasurer Richard Mourdock has resigned four months before the end of his term.
Mourdock announced his departure Friday, saying he wanted to pursue other professional interests. The two-term state treasurer was barred by state law from seeking a third term.
