US EditionJeffries on Indiana Redistricting Vote Failure; ‘A Good Night for the American People’
The Indiana Senate rejected a GOP-backed redistricting plan 31-19, halting efforts to redraw congressional maps that would favor Republicans in all nine districts.
- On Dec. 11, 2025, the Indiana State Senate voted 31-19 to reject House Bill 1032, preventing the proposed congressional map from appearing on the 2026 ballot.
- Maps for the plan were drawn by the National Republican Redistricting Trust, amid federal pressure to pursue mid-census redistricting, with HB 1032 passing the Indiana House 57-41.
- During floor debate, protesters at the Statehouse interrupted twice and senators who received swatting calls faced threats, while a bipartisan group of senators defeated the measure and Sen. Jim Tomes, R-Wadesville, said `On the question of redistricting, I've already given my opinion about the proposal`.
- With the Dec. 8 session called and Dec. 1 start of the House, the Indiana primary is only 145 days away, increasing political pressure.
- The decision preserves the status quo and undercuts a rare mid-decade change, as candidates had already filed for the March 17 primary, and lawmaker actions mirror national trends in Texas and California.
