Club for Growth Action Holds Indiana RINOs Accountable

  |  
5 Incumbents Defeated, 1 Race Pending, 1 Open Seat Victory

 

Washington, D.C. – Club for Growth Action defeated at least 5 Republican State Senators in Indiana who opposed President Trump’s push for redistricting. One race remains too close to call. The campaign featured a $2 million investment across 8 races, including 7 incumbent targets, who failed to act when Congress was on the line. The campaign followed Club for Growth’s support of President Trump’s call for Indiana lawmakers to redraw the state’s Congressional map. The Indiana State Senate ultimately killed the measure on December 11, 2025.

 

“Club for Growth Action is proud to stand with President Trump and Indiana voters against the RINOs,” said Club for Growth Action President David McIntosh. “The candidates who failed to support the President’s plan to hold Congress and save the country are now being held accountable.”
