U.S. House

The models of Hamilton County are starting to make our reps in the state legislature and in Congress quite nervous. Our population, trending more educated and racially diverse than in the past, is looking more and more like a place that traditionally votes for Democrats.

The Hamilton County Democratic Party condemned Governor Mike Braun’s decision to call lawmakers back to the Statehouse on November 3 for a special session on redistricting - a move widely seen as a partisan and costly attempt to manipulate Indiana’s elections under pressure from the Trump Administration.

The fight over Indiana’s proposed 2025 mid-decade redistricting plan is more than a technical debate about district lines. It is an encapsulation of our era's intense struggle over democracy itself.

By voting for the One Big Beautiful Bill Act on July 3, GOP Rep. Spartz proved who she really cares about back home. On the policy, the federal budget reconciliation bill (entitled in naked Orwellian doublespeak as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act) shows that the only thing the Republican Congress took seriously was how to make wealthy people like Spartz herself richer.
