Chris Chocola - Indiana's 2nd District
Chris Chocola
GENERAL ELECTION: November 7, 2006
Chris is the first House Republican incumbent on our recommended list. Normally we don’t recommend incumbents because they have the institutional support to raise lots of money on their own. Also, the problem in Congress right now is not so much protecting who’s there now, but getting more good people in Congress. We make an exception if the incumbent has an outstanding record and is considered highly vulnerable. Chris qualifies.
Despite representing a swing district, Chris had an outstanding record on the Club scorecard of Congress, with a 95 rating. In the 3 years that he’s been in Congress, he also earned three straight “A” grades from National Taxpayers Union and Citizens Against Government Waste rates him a “taxpayer hero.” Chris was also one of 18 principled House Republicans who voted against the outrageous anti-free speech bill that would have banned the Club and other nonprofits.
His Democratic opponent, Joe Donnelly, is a typical liberal Democrat who follows the labor union recommendations on tax, spending and trade policies.
Recent polls show this race is neck and neck. This is one of the key seats Democrats are targeting in their efforts to retake the House.
