2018 Election Update
After all the campaigning, the 2018 elections are now over, and new leaders, as well as incumbents, will be leading Indiana. Here is an overview of the 2018 election results.
U.S. Senate
Republican Mike Braun beat out incumbent Democrat Joe Donnelly with a margin of 52-44. This leaves Republicans in control of the U.S. Senate.
Indiana’s Senate Delegation
Todd Young and Mike Braun
U.S. Congress
Not too much change up happened in Indiana’s Congressional races as Representatives Visclosky and Carson are the only Democrats representing Indiana in Washington, D.C. However, two rookies have joined their Republican colleagues to represent the Hoosier state in our nation’s capital - Jim Baird and Greg Pence. A blue splash was made in Congress as the Democrats have now taken control of the U.S. House of Representatives, winning the majority in the lower chamber.
Indiana’s Congressional Delegation:
District 1- Peter Visclosky
District 2- Jackie Walorski
District 3- Jim Banks
District 4- Jim Baird
District 5- Susan Brooks
District 6- Greg Pence
District 7- Andre Carson
District 8- Larry Bucshon
District 9- Trey Hollingsworth
Statewide Elected Officials
At the state level, Republican women swept the podium.
Secretary of State
Connie Lawson
Auditor
Tera Klutz
Treasurer
Kelly Mitchell
Also on the ballot was a key question asking voters if Indiana’s Constitution should require a balanced budget. More than 71% of Hoosiers supported the measure.
Indiana Senate
Indiana’s Senate Democrats gained a new senator and defeated a long-time Republican incumbent. Jon Ford beat Mike Delph to represent Senate District 38 at the Statehouse. Ford is the first openly gay lawmaker to be elected to serve in the General Assembly.
The Senate Republicans still maintain their Super Majority with 40 Republicans to 10 Democrats.
Indiana House of Representatives
House Democrats picked up at least two more seats, inching closer to breaking the Republicans Super Majority. With some delays in vote counting in Northwest Indiana the results are still out to see if Republican incumbents Julie Olthoff and Ed Soliday will remain in the Statehouse.
