(Indianapolis, Ind.) – There is now a new Attorney General in Indiana.

Todd Rokita was sworn in today at the Indiana State Museum. Rokita, a Munster native, was elected in November, garnering the highest vote total for a statewide elected official in Indiana history.

On Monday, Rokita reiterated his commitment to promoting liberty in all ways.

“But preserving our liberty requires more than speeches and promise,” said Rokita. “It demands real, on the groundwork and attention – from all of us. In my administration, you can expect our team to put liberty in action every single day.”

As Attorney General, Rokita will serve as the state’s top lawyer and will represent Indiana in settlements and in defense of laws passed by the General Assembly. Rokita will replace Curtis Hill, who served as the AG from 2017 to 2021.

Attorney General Rokita also swore in the Deputy Attorney General in a video call conducted remotely. Attorney General Rokita previously announced the leadership of former Inspector General, Lori Torres, as Chief Deputy Attorney General and Chief of Staff and Larry Hopkins as Chief Administrative Officer.

"I'm pleased to have such a strong team of public servants in place to work for the people of Indiana. We have an important mission ahead of us and the right people in place to do that work," said Attorney General Rokita.

Also, during today’s Gubernatorial Inauguration, Governor Eric Holcomb was sworn into office for the second time.

“At this moment, our moment, even knowing full well the awful toll of COVID-19 and acknowledging that we are still in its deadly grip, it’s important to look to the future – a future for our state and our citizens that I believe is full of opportunity and promise,” Gov. Holcomb said.

Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch was also sworn into office by the Indiana Supreme Court Chief Justice Loretta Rush.
