UPDATE: Rep. Spartz announced on Feb. 5, 2024 that she would be filing for re-election. This is a shift in stance from her Feb. 3, 2023 decision to not run.
INDIANAPOLIS — U.S. Congresswoman Victoria Spartz (IN-05) decided against running for any office in February 2023, but later backtracked and decided she would run for re-election.
Spartz name had been tied to running for the to-be-vacated U.S. Senate seat of Sen. Mike Braun.
In a statement, Spartz said:
“Deciding where your duty lies - family, work, or country, is never an easy task. Earlier last year, I decided to take some time off from running for public office to recharge and spend more time in Indiana with my family. However, looking where we are today, and urged by many of my constituents, I do not believe I would be able to deliver this Congress, with the current failed leadership in Washington, D.C., on the important issues for our nation that I have worked very hard on. As someone who grew up under tyranny, I understand the significance of these challenging times for our Republic, and if my fellow Hoosiers and God decide, I will be honored to continue fighting for them. We must carry on the sacrifice of countless Americans for our liberties and keep the American dream alive for our children.”
