    A report to supporters and members of Indiana Business for Responsive Government (IBRG), the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, and allied organizations. This report will be updated as additional election results are received in the hours and days following. Another Election for the Record Books in Indiana Indiana Business for Responsive Government (IBRG), the non-partisan political action program of the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, scored a very successful general election. 48 of 49 IBRG- endorsed candidates facing opposition were victorious, including Republicans and Democrats. Forty-three (43) additional endorsed candidates did not face general election challenges. Twelve (12) new legislators won with IBRG-endorsements. IBRG was significantly-engaged in support of six (6) top-target challenger and open-seat races, as well as successfully defending twelve (12) pro-economy incumbents seriously challenged with defeat. In one of the most dramatic turn of events in years, Republicans won significant battles for state legislative seats across the state to expand their “quorum-proof majorities.” These victories were particularly surprising to those working for months closely in campaigns and candidates, as Indiana’s public opinion environment on issues and views of incumbents was - right up until Election Day - about as bad an environment for Republicans and incumbents as seen in years. This marks the third election cycle in a row that Republicans have expanded their margins in the Indiana House and Senate. The Republicans won a net two (2) seat gain in the Indiana House of Representatives to achieve a 71-29 margin. Four (4) incumbent legislators lost reelection bids in the House (one Republican and three Democrats).

  • Braun Completes His Coup Rokita, Messer Couldn’T Overcome Businessman’S Assault on Congress; Takes Aim at Donnelly by BRIAN A
    V23, N36 Thursday, May 10, 2018 ‘Outsider’ Braun completes his coup Rokita, Messer couldn’t overcome businessman’s assault on Congress; takes aim at Donnelly By BRIAN A. HOWEY INDIANAPOLIS – More than a year ago, when U.S. Reps. Todd Rokita and Luke Messer began angling for the 2018 U.S. Senate nomination just as President Trump commenced a fitful start, there was the big question: Are you sure you want to give up safe House seats to run in a first Trump mid- term? MSNBC’s Steve Kornacke provided the grist: Since at an anemic to torpid sub-20% approval, this would be a 1998, incumbent senators in “hos- run through razor wire, minefields and shooting galleries. tile states” (which went for the Both Rokita and Messer let their ambitions rule, current White House occupant) were 21-3.

  • Statehouse Watch Analysis of Potential Election Twists by Rebecca Patrick Ne Thing Is for Certain: There Will Be Many New Faces in the 2013 Indiana General Assembly
    Statehouse Watch Analysis of Potential Election Twists By Rebecca Patrick ne thing is for certain: There will be many new faces in the 2013 Indiana General Assembly. At a minimum, 24 (20 in the House and four in the Senate) – that’s how many races feature no incumbent. Of those 24 seats, expect only a third of them to be competitive, says Jeff Brantley, vice president of political affairs and head of the Indiana Business for Responsive Government political action committee for the Indiana Chamber of Commerce. Call it the perks of being in charge of redistricting. O “Certainly they (the Republicans) didn’t draw the majority of these districts to be competitive. But until you see how candidates match up, that can change,” he notes. “And this is where the real battle will be – in the open races. There won’t be many incumbents at risk of losing their seats.” Quorum proof The fight, it appears, will be over the size of the Republican majority. In the House, many are speculating whether Republicans can gain the seven seats needed for a quorum-proof majority. This would allow them to proceed with business without the Democrats, if necessary. The question in the Senate is if Republicans can hold their quorum-proof majority. There will be an effort by the minority party in the Senate, Brantley suggests, to win enough Republican seats (four) to take away the current quorum-proof power (37-13), but he still feels that’s unlikely to happen in November. As for the other possibility, “There is a path for the Republicans (current 60-40 advantage) to get to a quorum-proof majority in the House – and it’s no secret they are going to go for it,” believes Indiana Chamber President and CEO Kevin Brinegar.
