Mitchell Elias "Mitch" Daniels, Jr.
Mitchell Elias "Mitch" Daniels, Jr. (born April 7, 1949) is the Republican Governor of Indiana. He began his four-year term as Indiana's 49th Governor on January 10, 2005 and was elected to his second term on November 4, 2008. Previously he served as the Director of the Office of Management and Budget under the Bush administration.
Daniels was raised in Indianapolis and graduated from Princeton University, Indiana University School of Law, and Georgetown University. He began his political career when becoming an intern for Indianapolis Mayor Richard Lugar and went on to become Lugar’s chief of staff during his first term in the Senate (1977-1983). Additionally, he served as Executive Director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, playing a major role in the successful effort to keep Republican control of the U.S. Senate. [1] In 1985 Daniels became deputy assistant for intergovernmental affairs during the Reagan administration.
Daniels went on to serve top leadership positions in the private sector, becoming President of Eli Lilly and Company's North American Pharmaceutical Operations and CEO of the Hudson Institute. After liquidating $27 million in stock holdings [2], he retired in 2001 to become Director of the Office of Management and Budget.
In 2003 Daniels launched a campaign for Governor of Indiana. He traveled across all 92 counties with green-and-white slogans entitled "my man Mitch." President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, and First Lady Laura Bush all made appearances for him. Pundits speculated that Lieutenant Governor Joseph Kernan would seek the Democratic nomination, however he announced that he would not run in December 2002. The landscape of the race changed in September 2003, when two-term Democratic Governor Frank O'Bannon suffered a fatal stroke. Kernan was sworn in as the acting-Governor, and announced he would seek a full term.
The state was facing job loses in the manufacturing sector, with the public blaming local Democrats. Daniels defeated Kernan by a 53%-45% margin. Additionally, Republicans took control of the State House and increased their majority in the State Senate.
