LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb appointed a new state comptroller on Tuesday.

Elise Nieshalla will replace Tera Klutz, who resigned from the role effective Nov. 30. Nieshalla serves as president of the Indiana County Councils Association, president of Bonne County Council and chairwoman of the Association of Indiana Counties' 2023 Legislative Committee.

"Elise is a dedicated and proven public servant who has committed much of her professional life to bettering her community through service," Holcomb said in a news release Tuesday. "She has shared her financial expertise to help steer and shape the bright future of Boone County which gives me great confidence she’ll do the same serving Hoosiers as our next State Comptroller."

She works closely with state legislators to address tax and fiscal concerns for county and local governments as president of ICCA, according to a news release.

"My appreciation runs deep for the strong financial standing of our state and the integrity in which the State Comptroller's Office is run," Nieshalla said in a news release. "It is truly my privilege to receive Governor Holcomb's appointment to serve our great state and local units of government by upholding the highest standards of fiscal responsibility and offering tremendous Hoosier service."

She is expected to be sworn in Dec. 1.
