Indiana House releases new congressional map draft

The draft map aims to give Republicans an edge by redrawing all nine districts and splitting Indianapolis, targeting two Democratic incumbents amid a national GOP push for 2026.

  • On Dec. 1, Indiana House Republicans released a draft congressional map that redraws every one of the state's nine congressional districts and aims to unseat Rep. Andre Carson and Rep. Frank Mrvan.
  • Driven by national pressure, President Donald Trump pushed Indiana to gain two seats and coordinated with Gov. Mike Braun, following months of back-and-forth including visits by Vice President JD Vance.
  • PlanScore's analysis found Republicans would win in 99% of predicted scenarios with 60% vote share, while Democrats have just a 1% chance in the 7th and 9% in the 1st Congressional District.
  • The Indiana House convened Dec. 1 to begin redistricting with a vote expected this week, while the state Senate plans to reconvene Dec. 8 amid opposition from some Republicans.
  • Redrawing would split Marion County among the 4th, 6th, 7th and 9th districts, carving Indianapolis into four parts and diluting Democratic power, with Carson saying `Hoosier values matter more than DC threats and bullying. Splicing our state's largest city—and its biggest economic driver—into four parts is ridiculous`, Carson said in a statement.
