Republican Marlin Stutzman won election to a U.S. House seat representing Indiana on Tuesday. Stutzman, who previously held the seat from 2010 to 2017, reclaimed it with a win over educator and nonprofit executive Kiley Adolph, a Democrat. Stutzman succeeds Rep. Jim Banks, who was the GOP nominee for U.S. Senate in Indiana. Stutzman, who owns a farming operation and trucking company, called for reining in federal spending, which he said is driving up inflation. On immigration, he wants the U.S.-Mexico border wall completed and he supports abolishing the U.S. Education Department. The Associated Press declared Stutzman the winner at 7:41 p.m. EST.
