Wasserman moves IN-01 to TOSS-UP

July 19, 2022

Today the Cook Political Report’s Dave Wasserman moved IN-01 to a “Toss-up” rating.

Dave Wasserman: “Most vulnerable Democrats have the luxury of beginning the fall with a strong personal brand after winning hard-fought 2018 and 2020 races and a big cash-on-hand advantage over their GOP rivals. But Mrvan has neither: the mortgage broker and son of a 40-year state senator skated to Congress in 2020 with longtime Rep. Pete Visclosky’s help and remains shockingly undefined against well-funded GOP Air Force veteran Jennifer-Ruth Green… Today, private GOP polling pegs the president’s approval rating here south of 40%, with only around half of voters familiar with the Democratic incumbent.”

This comes after Republican Jennifer-Ruth Green badly outraised incumbent Democrat Frank Mrvan last quarter.

NRCC Comment: “The only thing Frank Mrvan has done in Congress is vote for Joe Biden’s reckless spending that is driving the inflation crisis. Hoosiers are taking notice and are going to send Mrvan packing in November.”  NRCC Spokesman Mike Berg
