Republican and former U.S. Rep. Marlin Stutzman will be heading back to Washington, D.C. after winning a campaign for the 3rd Congressional District on Tuesday night.
Stutzman, who previously held the same seat between 2010 and 2017, survived a contentious primary in May. The Associated Press called the race with him leading with 64.3% of the vote.
Democrat Kiley Adolph and Libertarian Jarrad Lancaster has 32.8% and 2.9% of the vote, respectively, as of 7:45 p.m.
The reliably red district includes Indiana’s second-largest city, Fort Wayne, and covers the greater northeastern Indiana area.
