Governor Holcomb

This beautifully illustrated volume features over 400 photographs chronicling Eric J. Holcomb’s two terms as Indiana’s governor. The book presents snapshots from each year of Governor Holcomb’s tenure, from his swearing-in by Indiana Supreme Court Chief Justice Loretta Rush on January 5, 2017, to the final days of his administration in early 2025. History was made by the individuals included on every page. Relive the celebration of Indiana’s bicentennial, the challenges of a global pandemic, and record-breaking annual economic development deals that enabled the financing of unprecedented statewide, community-based projects. Readers will find shots depicting important visits with foreign and domestic leaders, such as Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky; Eli Lilly and Company CEO Dave Ricks, Penske Corporation CEO Roger Penske, and former CEO of Google Eric Schmidt; and engagement with everyday citizens of all ages and backgrounds, including young people involved in exciting projects and activities across the state. From enacting legislation and breaking ground on important Hoosier priorities, to international relations with individuals from across the globe, Governor Holcomb’s time in office illustrates the reach of this midwestern state located in the heart of the country. Scenes I’ll Forever Hold Dear is a representative sampling of a governor’s years serving his state that demonstrates the breadth and depth of a public servant’s commitment to his constituents. Perfect for all Hoosiers—born and raised in, or transplanted to the great state of Indiana.
