Interactive map version
In October 2025, Indiana lawmakers began considering a redraw of the state's congressional districts to eliminate Democratic representation in the U.S. House of Representatives. The push followed calls from President Donald Trump, and after other states, including Texas, California, Virginia, and Missouri, sought to gerrymander their congressional districts.
Background
[edit]In 2025, after Texas adopted a new congressional map, California, in response, adopted their own.[1]
On October 10, 2025, Vice President JD Vance met in Indianapolis with Republican state legislators to discuss the "pros and cons" of redistricting.[2]
Proposed legislation
[edit]A bill now passed by the State House seeks to amend Indiana's congressional districts to foster in more Republican support. The legislation, which was passed by the House on December 5, 2025,[3] seeks to crack Indiana's 1st and 7th districts. The 7th, which includes Indianapolis, is split between four different districts in the proposed map.[4]
