United States congressional delegations from Indiana

Since its statehood in 1816, the U.S. state of Indiana has sent congressional delegations to the United States Senate and United States House of Representatives. Each state elects two Senators statewide to serve for six years, and their elections are staggered to be held in two of every three even-numbered years—Indiana's Senate election years are to Classes I and III. Before the Seventeenth Amendment in 1913, Senators were elected by the Indiana General Assembly. Members of the House of Representatives are elected to two-year terms, one from each of Indiana's nine congressional districts. Before becoming a state, the Indiana Territory elected delegates at-large and sent three to Congress, but the territorial delegates were restricted from voting on legislation.

The longest-serving of any of Indiana's Congressmen is Senator Richard Lugar, incumbent since 1977. The longest-serving House member is Lee H. Hamilton, who served from 1965 to 1999. There have been 346 people who have represented Indiana in Congress: 319 in the House, 27 in the Senate, and 17 in both houses, with an average term of seven years. Indiana has elected five women[1] and three African Americans[2] to Congress.

United States Senate

Each state elects two senators by statewide popular vote every six years. The terms of the two senators are staggered so that they are not elected in the same year. Indiana's senators are elected in the years from classes I and III. Senators were originally chosen by the Indiana General Assembly until the Seventeenth Amendment came into force in 1913.[3][4]

Of the forty-four men who have been Senators from Indiana, there have been three Democratic-Republicans, three Adams Republicans (including James Noble, who was both a Democratic-Republican and Adams Republican), two Whigs, one Unionist, twenty Democrats, and sixteen Republicans. Only 44 men have been Senators, though 47 terms have been served; David Turpie, William E. Jenner, and Dan Coats served nonconsecutive terms.

Indiana's current Senators are Republicans Richard Lugar, first elected in 1976, and Dan Coats, elected to a second non-consecutive term in 2010.

United States House of Representatives

Delegates from Indiana Territory

Indiana Territory was formed on July 4, 1800, out of the Northwest Territory and consisted of present-day Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and parts of Michigan and Minnesota. Michigan Territory was split from the territory on June 30, 1805, and Illinois Territory followed on March 1, 1809, leaving Indiana Territory with its final borders except for a slight adjustment of its northern border when statehood was granted.[19] On December 11, 1816, Indiana was admitted to the Union as a state.

The territorial delegates were elected to two-year terms. Delegates were allowed to serve on committees, debate, and submit legislation, but were not permitted to vote on bills.[20] Delegates only served in the House of Representatives as there was no representation in the Senate until Indiana became a state.

Delegates from the state of Indiana

Members of the House of Representatives are elected every two years by popular vote within a congressional district. Indiana has nine congressional districts—this number is reapportioned based on the state's population, determined every ten years by a census. Indiana had a maximum representation of 13 congressmen from 1873 to 1933. Since 2003 Indiana has had nine representatives, five Democratic and four Republican, which was reduced from ten after the 2000 census. This gives Indiana the fourteenth-largest delegation; during the period from 1853 to 1873 the state had the fifth-largest delegation. Recent House elections in Indiana were in 2002, 2004, 2006, and 2008.

The state of Indiana has been represented by 317 people in the House, including one who was previously a territorial delegate. Indiana's current House delegation includes Republicans Dan Burton, Mike Pence, Larry Bucshon, Todd Rokita, Todd Young, and Marlin Stutzman, and Democrats Pete Visclosky, Joe Donnelly, and André Carson.
