Indiana's 8th congressional district
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
United States House of Representatives, Indiana District 8 is a district of the United States Congress in south-western Indiana. Based in Evansville, it was widened when Indiana lost a seat after the 2000 Census to include parts of the former 7th and 5th Districts.
It has been nicknamed the "bloody eighth" because of a series of hard-fought campaigns and political reversals. Every Congressman who represented the 8th district from 1978 to 2006 has been defeated in a later general election.
