IN-05: Christina Hale (D) vs. Victoria Spartz (R)

Unfortunately for the socialist Democrats, Indiana’s 5th Congressional District has zero chance of turning blue in 2020. Democrats have never received more than 48% of the vote in races for Congress, Senate, Governor and President, and will certainly not this year. Victoria Spartz has been a proven leader in Indiana and knows firsthand how socialism can destroy a country. She will be further supported by President Trump at the top of the ticket who handily won this district by over 10 points.

The Democrats are stuck with failed Lieutenant Governor candidate Christina Hale who has been described as a “progressive Democrat” in the local press. Far-left Hale will embrace the Democrats’ socialist agenda, which includes banning private health insurance, decriminalizing illegal immigration, and supporting the job-killing Green New Deal. Christina Hale is completely unelectable in this solid GOP district.

PVI: R+9

2016 Presidential Results: Trump 52% – Clinton 41%

Ratings: Cook Political Report – Lean R; Inside Elections – Likely R

Geography: The district includes the north side of Indianapolis as well as its eastern and northern suburbs, including Marion, Carmel, Anderson, Noblesville, Fishers, and parts of Kokomo. It is entirely within the Indianapolis DMA.
