Republican Rep. Victoria Spartz, the first Ukrainian-born member of Congress, easily won reelection to a seat she almost gave up.
The Associated Press called the race when she had a 55.8% lead in Indiana’s 5th Congressional District north of Indianapolis.
Spartz initially said she wouldn’t run again but changed her mind days before the filing deadline. She faced off against Democrat Deborah Pickett, a resident of Carmel who served in the U.S. Army Reserve. She focused on fighting for personal rights and liberties, and received 39% of the vote.
Also running were Libertarian Lauri Shillings and Independent Robby Slaughter.
