Party: Independent
Incumbent: No
Political Office: None
Submitted Biography: "I’m Eric Beebe — a U.S. Army veteran, Purdue-educated engineer, father of three, and lifelong resident of LaPorte County. I’ve spent my life working, serving, and raising my family right here in northern Indiana. I’m running because too many of our citizens feel unheard and unrepresented, and too many ballots are left blank because no one was willing to stand up. My mission is to help rebuild faith in public service by proving that integrity, humility, and accountability still belong in American politics."

Eric Beebe (Independent)
Equity is the Foundation of Liberty: True freedom requires access to healthcare, education, and fair opportunity. A nation that leaves its people behind cannot call itself free.
Civic Virtue over Party Loyalty: I believe in principle before politics. My campaign is about integrity, accountability, and the courage to serve citizens — not party machines or special interests.

Eric Beebe (Independent)
Civic Education: We must restore civic literacy so every citizen understands not just their rights, but their responsibilities.
Healthcare and Education Equity: A healthy, educated population is the lifeblood of a free society. These are not partisan issues; they are the moral infrastructure of liberty.
Democratic Accountability: From open primaries to term limits and transparent local governance, we need reforms that return power to citizens and make public service about service again.

Representation means carrying the voices and needs of one’s district into every vote and debate.
Oversight means holding the executive branch accountable, regardless of party.
Stewardship means safeguarding the long-term health of our Republic — not just winning the next election.
An effective representative must balance immediate local needs with the enduring principles of liberty, justice, and the common good.

General election race ratings
- See also: Race rating definitions and methods
Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:
- Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
- Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
- Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[1]
- Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.
Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[2][3][4]
