Indiana's congressional districts in 2010

Elections were held on November 2, 2010 to determine Indiana's nine members of the United States House of Representatives. Representatives were elected for two-year terms to serve in the 112th Congress from January 3, 2011 until January 3, 2013. Primary elections were held on May 4, 2010.[1]

Of the nine elections, the races in the 2nd, 8th and 9th districts were rated as competitive by The Cook Political Report,[2] CQ Politics,[3] The Rothenberg Political Report,[4] and Sabato's Crystal Ball.[5][6][7] Five of Indiana's eight incumbents were re-elected,[8] while two (Steve Buyer of the 4th district[9] and Brad Ellsworth of the 8th district)[10] did not seek re-election and one (Baron Hill of the 9th district) unsuccessfully sought re-election.[11] Prior to the election the 3rd district was vacant due to the resignation of Mark Souder.[12]

In total, six Republicans and three Democrats were elected.[8] In the November elections a total of 1,744,481 votes were cast, of which 952,116 (54 percent) were for Republican candidates, 697,775 (39 percent) were for Democratic candidates, 84,289 (5 percent) were for Libertarian Party candidates, 11,218 (0.6 percent) were for an independent candidate, and 80 (0.004 percent) were for write-in candidates.[13]

Libertarian Party nominee Jon Morris also ran.[16] Visclosky was unopposed for the Democratic nomination.[15] Adam Dombkowski, a manager; Ric Holtz, an accountant; Peter Lindemulder III, a businessman; Eric Olson, a businessman; Rob Pastore, a businessman; Michael Petyo, the president of a construction company; and Jayson Reeves, an engineer, also sought the Republican nomination.[17]

Prior to the election FiveThirtyEight's forecast gave Visclosky a 100 percent chance of winning and projected that he would receive 66 percent of the vote to Leyva's 32 percent.[22] On election day Visclosky was re-elected with 59 percent of the vote to Leyva's 39 percent.[23]: 68  Visclosky was again re-elected in 2012[24] and 2014.[25]

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 8

[edit]

This was an open seat as Democratic incumbent Brad Ellsworth ran for the U.S. Senate. The Democratic nominee was lawyer and State Representative Trent Van Haaften. The Republican nominee was Larry Bucshon, President of Ohio Valley HeartCare.

Bucshon received support from the National Republican Congressional Committee and was named a GOP Young Gun.[60] During the campaign, Bucshon was endorsed by several conservative interest groups and elected officials, including the Indiana Chamber of Commerce Congressional Action Committee, United States Chamber of Commerce, National Right to Life Committee, Indiana Right to Life, Indiana Manufacturers Association, Campaign for Working Families, House Minority Leader John Boehner, U.S. Congressman Mike Pence, and Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels.[61] Bucshon received significant campaign contributions from medical groups[62]

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]
