Spirited Races Set for November.(primaries)
The political season is well under way as nine states held primaries in May and another 12 states are selecting candidates in June. In those districts where one party has a virtual lock on the seat, whoever prevails in that party's primary will be the likely winner in November. However, in most primaries, the results have set the stage for very competitive November general elections.
Indiana held its primaries on May 7. Pro-life Indiana Rep. Mark Souder (R) successfully held off a spirited challenge from the former mayor of Fort Wayne, Paul Helmke. In this heavily Republican district, Souder will likely hold this 3rd district seat in November.
An unfortunate result of redistricting placed two pro-life congressmen in the newly created 4th district. Steve Buyer and Brian Kerns faced off in a Republican primary with Buyer coming out on top with 55% of the vote.
In the newly redrawn 2nd district, pro-abortion Jill Long Thompson (D), a former member of the U.S. House, is attempting a comeback. Long Thompson was elected to the U.S. House in 1988 but was defeated in 1994 by Rep. Souder.
Long Thompson easily won her primary and faces pro-life businessman Chris Chocola (R) in the general election. Chocola had challenged pro-life Congressman Tim Roemer (D) in 2000, and carried 47% of the vote.
This new 2nd district includes part of Roemer's old district, so Chocola has some name recognition from his 2000 campaign. When in Congress, Long Thompson represented the northeast corner of Indiana. While she currently lives in the new 2nd district, she has not previously represented any part of the district.
Sixth district freshman, pro-life Congressman Mike Pence (R), will face pro-abortion Melina Fox, who has been endorsed by EMILY's List. Other races to watch include pro-life attorney Brose McVey (R) challenging pro-abortion Rep. Julia Carson (D) in the 7th district, and pro-life businessman Mark Sodrel challenging 9th district Rep. Baron Hill (D), who has a mostly pro-abortion voting record.
