Republicans in the Indiana state Senate will not move forward with a plan to redraw the state’s congressional map next month, the chamber’s GOP leader said Friday.
“Over the last several months, Senate Republicans have given very serious and thoughtful consideration to the concept of redrawing our state’s congressional maps,” Senate President Pro Tempore Rodric Bray said in a statement. “Today, I’m announcing there are not enough votes to move that idea forward, and the Senate will not reconvene in December.”
Hoosier-state legislators had been set to meet Dec. 1 to consider a new congressional map that could target one or both of the state’s Democratic House members – Reps. Frank J. Mrvan, who is already a GOP target under the state’s current lines, and André Carson. The White House had been pushing for Indiana to join other states in redrawing their district lines ahead of the 2026 midterm elections in an effort to help Republicans pick up additional House seats and maintain their majority.
