The GOP is widely expected to win enough races in the midterms to take control of the House, as inflation serves as a talking point to use against President Joe Biden and his fellow Democrats. Republican control of the U.S. Senate looks much less likely.
CROWN POINT, Ind. — Standing in a picturesque courthouse square in Crown Point, Ind., Faye Kelley says she thinks locals are “very discouraged” because of high inflation.
There’s a real chance that a majority of the district’s voters could join the couple in backing GOP challenger Jennifer-Ruth Green. That would be a huge political change for northwest Indiana, which historically has been a Democratic stronghold, like neighboring Chicago. While Indiana is a generally red state, a Republican last won this House seat in the 1928 election, when Calvin Coolidge was president.
Analysts at both the Cook Political Report and the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics last month switched their ratings for the contest to “toss-up” from leaning Democratic, citing factors such as Green’s fundraising advantage in the most recent quarterly reporting period. She raked in about $566,000 in the year’s second quarter, while Mrvan, a freshman congressman, brought in about $357,000 in the quarter.
“They’re answering the door and fired up and talking about showing up to vote,” said Madigan, who is also a founding member of a local group called the Duneland Democratic Committee, as well as a massage therapist and mom with school-age kids. “They know the only thing they have left is their vote, and I think that they’re going to show up in bigger numbers than previously. I really do.”
In addition, Sweeney said he hopes local voters look “rationally” at recent high prices for gasoline RB00, +0.09% and other essentials, meaning that they see that inflation is a problem worldwide and its drivers include Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the ongoing economic rebound from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Regarding Trump, she said his policies were “very impactful for our country,” and the U.S. two years ago was “better off economically.” Calderon sounded upbeat on Mrvan’s prospects, saying: “We continue to have every confidence that Northwest Indiana voters will voice their support for women’s rights and the economic deliverables Frank supported.”
