Indiana’s congressional redistricting debate scrambled planning for the 2026 campaigns, but the status quo still leaves the state with some heated U.S. House primaries on tap.
Republicans are poised for a primary race to decide who will run against Democratic Rep. Frank Mrvan for northwestern Indiana’s 1st District, which has been the state’s most competitive in the past couple election cycles.
Updated campaign finance reports filed with the Federal Election Commission also show veteran Republican Rep. Jim Baird and Democratic Rep. Andre Carson facing active challengers for the May primary.
Meanwhile, Republican U.S. Sens. Todd Young and Jim Banks kept up robust fundraising this past year even though they won’t face voters in 2026.
And Democratic former Sen. Evan Bayh is still sitting on a big pile of campaign cash (which potentially could go toward his son Beau Bayh’s run for secretary of state).
