Election 2024: Here's who is running in Indiana for U.S. Congress
Update: This story has been updated to reflect the candidates who were removed from the ballot by the Indiana Election Commission in February.
All nine of Indiana’s seats in the U.S. House of Representatives will be on ballots this year when voters head to the polls.
House members serve two-year terms in Washington D.C., which puts them up for reelection more frequently than U.S. senators.
Candidates running for primaries in the state’s nine Congressional districts had until noon on Feb. 9 to file for the May 2024 election. Of the nine Hoosier lawmakers in the House, four Republican incumbents and the two Democrats have filed to run for reelection.
U.S. Reps. Larry Bucshon and Greg Pence announced in January they would not seek reelection while Jim Banks is running for Indiana’s open seat in the Senate vacated by Mike Braun, who is running for governor.
Here are the candidates who have filed to run in the primary for Indiana’s Congressional seats, according to the Secretary of State’s Office.
The election is May 7.
