Rep. Mike Pence (R., Ind.) today made official his intention to seek the governorship of the state of Indiana. From Politico:

Calling it the “worst kept secret in Indiana politics,” the Republican said he filed the formal paperwork with the Indiana Secretary of State’s office Thursday morning. A formal campaign kick-off is set for June 11 in his hometown of Columbus, Ind., but today’s filing allows Pence to start fundraising.
