2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Indiana


The 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Indiana were held on November 8, 2022, to elect the nine U.S. representatives from the state of Indiana, one from each of the state's nine congressional districts. The elections coincided with other elections to the U.S. House of Representatives, elections to the U.S. Senate, and various state and local elections. Primary elections took place on May 3.

District 1

The 1st district encompasses Northwest Indiana, taking in the eastern Chicago metropolitan area, including Hammond and Gary, as well as Lake County, Porter County and western LaPorte County. The incumbent was Democrat Frank J. Mrvan, who was elected with 56.6% of the vote in 2020.
During the campaign, a research firm contracted by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee inappropriately obtained the military records of candidate and air force veteran Jennifer-Ruth Green. This included her experience of having been sexually assaulted by an Iraqi serviceman. Green stated she was "saddened to have to share publicly one of the most private events of my life".
