Why This Race is Winnable:
Indiana’s 9th Congressional District is shifting back toward the center, with increasing support for pragmatic, centrist solutions. In 2023, Democrats flipped several local offices, including mayors, city councils, and sheriffs. This did not translate to the voters who turned out in 2024, and the 2026 electorate should be more similar to that of 2023. Tim is the leader to guide this district back to its roots, focusing on common-sense policies that appeal to voters across the political spectrum. With a strong base in Bloomington, a favorable media market in Louisville, and growing mobilization among women voters and working-class voters, this race is primed for success.
