From South Bend Tribune:

Gov. Mitch Daniels isn’t running for re-election, but he’s still been on the campaign trail this year.

Daniels is working to help Republicans reclaim a majority in the Indiana House of Representatives, so the party will control both houses of the General Assembly during his final two years as governor.

“It’s about getting things done for the state,” Daniels said in an interview before speaking to an audience of 300 people Thursday at the St. Joseph County Republican Party’s Lincoln Day Dinner at the Palais Royale.

“First of all, it’s about preventing an increase in taxes. Secondly, it’s about trying to preserve and extend a pro-jobs, pro-growth environment.”

Democrats hold a 52-48 majority in the Indiana House, while Republicans control the state Senate by a 33-17 margin.

Daniels has recruited Republicans to run for House seats held by Democrats, and he’s also raising heaps of cash to help candidates and promote policies.

His political action committee, Aiming Higher, had more than $728,000 on hand as of April 9, according to finance reports on the Indiana Secretary of State website.
