District 3 edit

 
Indiana's 3rd congressional district in 2010
 
Marlin Stutzman, who was elected as the U.S. Representative for the 3rd district
 
Tom Hayhurst, who also ran in the 3rd district

The 3rd district included parts of Fort Wayne and Goshen.[44] The district's population was 85 percent white, 6 percent Hispanic and 6 percent black (see Race and ethnicity in the United States Census); 84 percent were high school graduates and 22 percent had received a bachelor's degree or higher. Its median income was $50,237.[45] In the 2008 presidential election the district gave 56 percent of its vote to Republican nominee John McCain and 43 percent to Democratic nominee Barack Obama.[44]

Republican Mark Souder, who took office in 1995, was the incumbent. Souder was re-elected in 2008 with 55 percent of the vote.[44] Souder won the Republican primary in the 3rd district in May 2010 but resigned from Congress in June 2010 after admitting to an affair with a staff member. He was replaced as the Republican nominee by Marlin Stutzman, a member of the Indiana Senate.[46] Stutzman's opponent in the general election was Democratic nominee Tom Hayhurst, a former member of the Fort Wayne city council.[47] Libertarian Party nominee Scott Wise also ran.[48]


Republican Mark Souder represented this district from 2003 until his resignation on May 18, 2010. Fellow Republican John McCain carried this district with 56% of the vote in the 2008 presidential elections.[49] In the Republican primary, car dealer Bob Thomas gave Souder a strong challenge in the primary. An April SurveyUSA poll showed Thomas within six percentage points of Souder. Other Republican candidates included attorney Phil Troyer and Tea Party activist Greg Dickman. Souder won the primary with 48% of the vote. He was to face Democrat Fort Wayne councilman Tom Hayhurst.

However, as Souder announced his resignation from Congress and his resignation as the Republican candidate for Congress on May 18, 2010, the Governor of Indiana will set a date for a special election. A caucus will be held to choose the Republican candidate for the Special Election and the General Election. The Special Election is expected to be held concurrently with the General Election in November. The Republican caucus to choose the nominee was held on June 12, 2010. State Senator Marlin Stutzman was selected as the Republican nominee for both the Special, and General Elections.

District 9 edit

Democratic incumbent Baron Hill is being challenged by Republican Todd Young (campaign site, PVS, WhoRunsGov), Libertarian Greg Knott (campaign site, PVS), and Independent Jerry Lucas (campaign site, PVS).

Primaries edit

Five-term Congressman Democrat Baron Hill has won in the ninth district since 1998, except for in 2004, when he lost to Republican Mike Sodrel by 1,425 votes. Hill narrowly regained his seat from Sodrel in 2006 and won another race with Sodrel in 2008 by a wider margin. McCain carried the district with only 50% of the vote. In 2010, Sodrel sought another rematch, but lost to former Marine Captain and Orange County Deputy Prosecutor Todd Young in the Republican primary.[64][65] Independent Jerry Lucas, a nurse and Army veteran, has also filed to run.[66][67] Greg Knott entered the race as the Libertarian Party candidate.

Prior to the campaign season, Hill came under increasing public pressure following the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. At public meetings, Hill had to be escorted by state police for his protection and had heated verbal exchanges with the public which made local news on several occasions and leading Hill to refuse to hold additional public meetings in person.[68]

General edit

Hill launched a series of campaign ads beginning in mid August questioning Young's intentions for the future of Social Security and highlighting a comment made by Young referring to it as a "ponzi scheme".[69] Local media covering the debate questioned both candidates about their ads; Hill defended his support of healthcare, stimulus, and new regulatory legislation as the correct votes for the future of the country. Young reconfirmed his position, stating Social Security was indeed a ponzi scheme and needed reform to remain financially viable and called on Hill to explain his financial plans for the nation.[70]

The last week of August, the Young campaign began running adds on radio and television pointing out Hill's record of supporting spending legislation and calling on fiscal restraint in Congress. On the night of August 30, Young's Bloomington campaign headquarters were vandalized; the air conditioner was stolen, the phone and internet lines into the building were cut, the power disconnected.[69] The Young campaign requested that Hill participate in seven town hall style debates.[71] The first scheduled debate will be held October 18 at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater in Bloomington.[72]

In a post-primary June Public Opinion Strategies poll, Hill had a 41-33 lead over Young.[73] An August poll conducted by the Young campaign suggested only 37% of voters believed Hill deserved another term.[70] During the first week of September Real Clear Politics had the race rated as a toss-up.[67]
