Chuck Goodrich became Indiana Secretary of Commerce, the head of IEDC, on July 13, 2026 and said he would remain president and CEO of Gaylor Electric, which he has run since 2014. He said the company and the state spent six weeks 'separating duties' with screenings at both, designed before the appointment. IEDC records show Gaylor holds a $1.3 million EDGE tax credit and a $200,000 Hoosier Business Investment credit tied to adding 140 jobs, and state contracts including at the Statehouse. He takes a $1 salary.
