Indiana's 2nd District hasn’t been competitive since the Republican-controlled General Assembly redrew boundary lines after 2010 to remove more Democratic-leaning areas of Michigan City and LaPorte County.

Republican Rudy Yakym will be the next representative for Indiana’s 2nd congressional district after winning the special and general elections for the open seat.

The race for Indiana’s 2nd congressional district took an unexpected turn earlier this year following the death of incumbent Republican Rep. Jackie Walorski in an August car crash. But Libertarian candidate William Henry says he’s focused on providing voters an alternative choice.

Two of the candidates for Indiana’s 2nd congressional district met Tuesday for the only debate in the race. But the hour-long event was also notable for who didn’t participate.
