2026 Indiana House race, District 9

Erin Houchin (Republican), Brad Meyer (Democrat) and Tonya Hudson (Libertarian) are on the November 3, 2026 ballot for U.S. House in Indiana District 9, with one certified write-in, as recorded October 7, 2026.

The November ballot

Houchin
$1.9M
Meyer
$106K

Raised so far, filed with the FEC

Also in this race: Tonya Hudson (Libertarian) and Floyd Taylor (write-in).

Faces and bars are the campaigns that hold the seat or have $25,000 raised or outside spending on file; being outside that group is a filing fact, not a mark. A candidate marked write-in is certified to run and their votes count; their name is not printed on the ballot. Not a prediction.
