Why This Race is Winnable?
IN-9, traditionally a moderate Democratic area, began swinging Republican about ten years ago but is now trending back towards the middle. In the 2023 election, many local seats previously held by Republicans, including mayors, town council members, sheriffs, and prosecutors, flipped to Democrats. The media market from Louisville, Kentucky, where moderate Democrat Andy Beshear won, and the proximity to Ohio, where progressive wins occurred, create a favorable regional influence.
Bloomington, IN-9’s largest city, is predominantly Democratic, providing a strong base for the campaign. Women voters are expected to play a crucial role in the 2024 election, particularly following recent actions by Republican Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita, which have mobilized women voters. Additionally, the recent arrest of the IN-9 Republican chair and county sheriff for fraudulent acts has generated distrust in the local Republican party.
The stage is set for the district to return to a common-sense moderate community with Midwestern sensibilities, and Tim is the leader to guide this transformation.
