Race overview

Erin Houchin is seeking election as the Republican incumbent in Indiana’s 9th Congressional District. The general election is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026, and the contest has 10 candidates: seven Democrats, one Republican, one Libertarian and one independent.

Houchin’s incumbency distinguishes her status in the field. The candidate record does not document a biography, campaign fundraising totals, campaign spending totals or cash on hand for any of the candidates. It also lists no policy positions for Houchin or any of her opponents.

That leaves party affiliation and Houchin’s incumbent status as the principal points of comparison in the official record at this stage of the race.

Policy positions

The official race record lists no documented policy positions for Houchin, Roark, Voyles, Mccartney, Meyer, Graham, Hudson, Peck, Taylor or Davidson. As a result, no stance on a public issue can be attributed to any candidate from those records.

The same standard applies across the field: party labels do not by themselves establish how an individual candidate would approach a particular issue. A policy comparison will require documented positions from official records.
