INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Although U.S. Rep. Greg Pence is retiring from Congress, the names on the ballot to succeed him will be familiar to voters in his district.
Indiana’s 6th Congressional District stretches from southern Indianapolis and Johnson County to the Ohio state line. The race to succeed Pence features a trio of candidates who all have sought office within the past two years.
Republican Jefferson Shreve, the founder of Storage Express and a former Indianapolis City-County councilor, ran unsuccessfully for mayor of Indianapolis last year.
Democrat Cinde Wirth, a former teacher, ran against Pence two years ago.
Libertarian James Sceniak, a mental health worker, was his party’s candidate for U.S. Senate in 2022.
All three talked to News 8 for “All INdiana Politics,” which airs at 9:30 a.m. Sunday on WISH-TV.
The deadline to register to vote is the end of the day Monday. You can register through the Secretary of State’s website or at any driver’s license office. Early voting begins on Tuesday and Election Day itself is on Nov. 5.
