Green, a political newcomer, mounted a challenge against Mrvan in 2022. She was backed by an influx of millions of dollars in federal party and PAC spending in what was the most expensive race for the seat in its history. About $15 million was spent on the race, according to Federal Election Commission records. The extra spending drew Green closer than past Republican candidates as she came within a 5.6% margin of victory for the seat, which Democrats have held since 1932.
“Name recognition is something that is you don’t have it, it takes a lot of money to get it our there and gain it,” Niemeyer said. “Congressman Mrvan is working every day in a collaborative and bipartisan fashion to continue delivering for the constituents of Indiana’s First Congressional District, including restoring women’s freedom to access reproductive health care, supporting organized labor and historic investments in infrastructure that benefit our great local steel industry, reducing seniors’ cost of prescription drugs, and providing veterans with expanded health care access,” the statement read.
“The younger generation is breaking that tradition and voting for people who may not be from the party of their parents and more closely represent who they are,” he continued.“I don’t think a lot of folks in Washington have 3 million miles experience behind the wheel of an 18-wheeler like I do,” Niemeyer said.
