André Carson won the Democratic primary for Indiana’s 7th Congressional District and will face Republican nominee Patrick McAuley in November. The article recaps results in Indiana’s U.S. House primaries and notes a failed Republican-backed redistricting plan that had targeted the state’s two Democratic-held seats.
Carson won the Democratic primary in the 7th District against Denise Paul Hatch, George Hornedo and Destiny Wells. The article says he will face McAuley in November. Frank Mrvan also won the Democratic primary in the 1st District, while the article reports results for the state’s other House districts. Election results were from May 5, with state certification expected later in May.
The article says Indiana House Republicans passed a congressional map urged by President Donald Trump, but the Indiana Senate defeated it. The proposed map would have split both Democratic-held districts and diluted the voting power of the state’s largest concentration of Black voters.
