Democratic Leader Goodin pays tribute to State Rep. Charlie Brown

INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana House Democratic Leader Terry Goodin from Austin today issued the following statement upon hearing that State Rep. Charlie Brown (D-Gary) would be retiring from the Indiana General Assembly in 2018:

“You could not imagine a stranger couple of friends than a good old boy from southern Indiana and a sophisticated gentleman from the big city, yet that is what has been the case for Charlie Brown and myself during our time together in state government. I could not imagine a better person to introduce me to the wilds of the legislative process, and I have not had a better friend in my time serving in the Indiana House. I will miss him dearly, but I am fortunate that I will be able to rely on his counsel for a little while longer as we go through the 2018 session. I am proud to not only have had the honor to work with him, but, more importantly, to call him a friend.”
