Indiana House Majority Floor Leader Jud McMillin – a rising star in the GOP caucus – abruptly resigned Tuesday.
McMillin was chosen last year by fellow House Republicans to become floor leader, one of the top ranking positions in the caucus. In a statement, the Brookville Republican says he decided the time was right to pass the torch after five years in the General Assembly. McMillin, an attorney and former Ohio deputy prosecutor, says he wants to focus all his attention on, in his words, “making his family’s world a better place.”
House Speaker Brian Bosma says he supports McMillin’s decision, adding that the House GOP will call a caucus in the coming days to choose a new floor leader.
McMillin's resignation comes after sources say compromising videos of the lawmakers surfaced.
