WANE reports:

Earlier on Tuesday, NewsChannel 15 reported the following in regards to Pence's political future:

NewsChannel 15 political analyst and Republican Allen County Recorder John McGauley says Congressman Mike Pence will run for Indiana governor in 2012.

McGauley said that information came straight from people who work for Pence .

"He's running for governor. He's laying the groundwork with all these bus tours that he's doing; supporting legislative candidates [in Indiana]. And he's even out there right now recruiting county coordinators for a governor's race," said McGauley.

When NewsChannel 15 double-checked to make sure McGauley was getting his information from Pence staffers, McGauley said, "Absolutely."

No one on Pence's staff has been willing to officially confirm a run for governor. In fact, the top official under Pence denied McGauley's claims to NewsChannel 15.

Pence's chief of staff, Bill Smith, said Tuesday that the congressman hasn't decided what he'll do in the future and also denied that there's been any effort to recruit county coordinators or any other positions for a future campaign.
