INDIANAPOLIS -

Eyewitness News has learned that Democratic gubernatorial candidate John Gregg has picked Indiana State Sen. Vi Simpson (D-Ellettsville) as his running mate.

The former Indiana house speaker is scheduled to make the official announcement at the Statehouse Tuesday afternoon.

Gregg's announcement will follow one day after Republican candidate Mike Pence added state Rep. Sue Ellspermann to his ticket. Pence said Monday he tapped the freshman lawmaker for her experience as a business consultant and economic development official. Gregg derided Pence's pick for her support for defunding Planned Parenthood.

Gregg, Pence and Libertarian Rupert Boneham are running in the November general election. Gov. Mitch Daniels is barred from seeking a third term.
