Indiana voters have three open congressional seats to fill in the election Tuesday. Republicans hope to keep them while aiming to knock off a Democrat in the northwest part of the state. Three incumbents are retiring or seeking another office. They’re currently all held by Republicans in right-leaning districts.

In the state’s northwest corner, the GOP is targeting Democratic incumbent Rep. Frank Mrvan, who is seeking his third term in the 1st District. According to Ballotpedia, Democrats have held the seat since 1930, but a Republican-drawn map that took effect in 2022 made the district more conservative. Mrvan won in 2022 with nearly 53% of the vote after taking just under 57% in 2020.
In the 6th district, which runs from Indianapolis to the Ohio border in the central part of the state, Greg Pence, former Vice President Mike Pence’s older brother, is retiring after three terms. The Republican hopeful for the seat is Jefferson Shreve, a storage-business entrepreneur who was defeated handily for Indianapolis mayor last year. He had been a member of the Indianapolis City Council from 2013 to 2016 and 2018 to 2020.
