Democrats running in nearly all Indiana legislative races while GOP not challenging 20 House seats
Democratic candidates will appear on the November ballot for nearly all Indiana legislative seats up for election this fall — while Republicans are sitting out more than 20 races.
The two major parties had until noon Monday to fill candidate vacancies that remained following the May 5 primaries.
Democrats filled seven such vacancies for Indiana House seats, giving them candidates for 97 of the 100 seats.
Republicans added two candidates, which left 20 current Democratic legislators without a GOP challenger, according to filings with the Indiana Election Division. That includes 10 districts in Indianapolis and five in Lake County.
