In addition to Ward and Chopp, the newly-elected Attorney General appointed Molly Deuberry Craft as Communications Director.

Originally from Indianapolis, Ward now resides in Carmel.

Also named to a leadership position was Molly Deuberry Craft, who has over a decade of communications experience in government and non-profit organizations.
