Democrat Frank Mrvan has won reelection to his northwestern Indiana congressional seat, beating GOP challenger Jennifer-Ruth Green.
Meanwhile, Republicans won election for two open U.S. House seats from heavily GOP Indiana districts.Democrats have typically won the 1st District, which hugs Indiana's Lake Michigan shoreline near Chicago, by large margins, but former President Donald Trump closed the gap by appealing to working class voters in the district that has some of the country's largest steel mills.
"I want to thank you for your commitment, the doors that you knocked, the phone calls you made, talking to members, talking to working men and women to understand what was at stake," Mrvan said. Green said in a concession statement that the closeness of the race meant that Mrvan "is on notice" that Republicans will continue contesting for the seat.
The 1st District was the only one of Indiana's nine congressional districts that was close to changing political hands this election, although two new House members were elected.
