COMMON-SENSE GUN LEGISLATION:

Last year, black women became the leading group of purchasers of guns in America.

As a well-known political figure in the state of Indiana - and as a black woman who has had threats of violence against me twice on the campaign trail, I’ve now had to make myself aware of my rights to protect myself legally.

Because of this - and because black women are now arming themselves at a high rate - I want to focus on bringing 2A laws to the forefront and having hard conversations about how we protect ourselves and our families and also keep guns out of the hands of violent and troubled people.

My father. He has 12 sons and 3 daughters, was married to my late mother for 46 years and was a pastor. He endured many prejudices and racism in his life, but never gave up and made excuses. He raised me and my siblings to trust in God, to forgive and treat our fellow citizens with respect and love.
Not just one, but a few that have stayed with me are:

The book “Up From Slavery” by Booker T. Washington

The book “MAID” … an in-depth look at how many single parents live life in America. It’s heart-wrenching.

The book Race Matters by Dr. Cornell West.


I love people and I love serving people. I try to see where I can fit in to help.
Faithfully executing the office of a US Representative in a manner that truly represents all Hoosiers. From the poorest to the richest. All races, creeds, colors and sexual orientations and identities.
I was a newspaper girl delivering newspapers in Crawfordsville, IN where I grew up.
The Bible - King James Version

It keeps me balanced. It’s challenging and I don’t always agree with it or see eye-to-eye with God or His word.

But I read it every single day.
The Bionic Woman. She’s powerful, strong and beautiful in every way.
It’s supposed to represent the common man/woman, which we hope have qualifies of trust, honesty, loyalty and commitment. It should. With so many millionaires there, it’s hard to say that we are getting true Representation .
Nope. Look at the ones there now. Many are political figures whose names are linked with parties — why not let the actual persons life experiences be a leading reason you vote for them … rather than having a D or R behind your name, why not have your friends and family tell folks what a good person or friend you’ve been.
Unification. We are so splintered and savage at times. It hurts my heart. I want to be a part of the changes we as a country need to move forward.

Specifically, the pandemic has wreaked havoc on Americans. We need strong leaders with courage, compassion and calm.

I am that person and I look forward to being with like-minded others in Washington DC.
When elected, I plan to network and see where I best fit as far as what is ideal for my skill sets.
No. It’s too short and you spend way too much time campaigning. It should be 4 or 6 years.
3 and done. That’s all I will run for when elected.
Man is fallible. I admire many like Frank O’Bannon, Richard Lugar and Michelle Obama, but don’t really have faith in anyone but God.
Any good Knock Knock joke. The cornier the better.
Yes. The best thing about aisles is that they can be crossed. We must unify this country. That takes common sense and commitment and a lot of people who don’t care about getting the credit.
The money dictates everything. It reflects the heart of this nation. Unfortunately, greed has caused corruption and our government officials often become pawns in that game. I would lead with transparency and openness.

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.[3]
  • 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.[4][5][6]

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Indiana in 2022. Information below was calculated on March 8, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

As of the 2022 candidate filing deadline, 50 candidates filed to run for Indiana's nine U.S. House districts, including 28 Republicans, 21 Democrats, and one Libertarian. That's 5.6 candidates per district, less than the 8.7 candidates per district in 2020 and 7.9 in 2018. This was the first candidate filing deadline under new district lines adopted following the state's decennial redistricting process. Indiana neither gained nor lost seats in the 2020 round of apportionment.

Five incumbents—all Republicans—did not draw any primary challengers. At least one Democrat and one Republican filed to run in all nine districts, meaning no seats would be guaranteed to any one party.

Of the nine districts, one—Indian's 9th—was left open, meaning no incumbent filed to run. The district's incumbent, Rep. Trey Hollingsworth (R), announced his retirement from public office. The one open district represents the lowest number since 2014 when there were no open districts. There were two open seats in 2020, 2018, and 2016.

Heading into the election, Ballotpedia rated this race as safely Republican. Incumbent Susan Brooks (R) defeated Angela Demaree (D) in the general election on November 8, 2016. Brooks withdrew from the race on July 15, 2016, in order to run for governor of Indiana following a ballot vacancy. Brooks was not chosen to fill that vacancy, prompting her to once again seek re-election to her House seat. Republican committee members decided on August 13 to reinstate Brooks on the ballot.[10] Brooks defeated Mike Campbell and Stephen MacKenzie in the Republican primary, while Demaree defeated Allen Davidson to win the Democratic nomination. The primary elections took place on May 3, 2016.[11][12][13]
