SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP): One former Indiana congressman is replacing another as president of the anti-tax group Club for Growth.
 
The Washington, D.C.-based organization announced Thursday that David McIntosh, who represented Indiana in Congress from 1995-2000, will take over as president on Jan. 1. He will replace Chris Chocola, who held the position for nearly six years. Chocola plans to stay on as a member of the board of directors.
 
McIntosh represented most of east-central Indiana until running for governor in 2000 and losing to Democratic Gov. Frank O'Bannon. He ran for Congress again in 2012 and lost a close primary to Susan Brooks. Chocola was a two-term congressman from northern Indiana 2003 until 2007.
