Republican U.S. Rep. Rudy Yakym sailed to reelection on Election Night, winning out over Democrat Lori Camp and Libertarian William Henry.

Associated Press called the race around 9:20 p.m. with Yakym leading 67.4% to Camp’s 29.6%. Henry had received 3%. Votes were still being counted.

Yakym was first appointed to the 2nd Congressional District following the death of former U.S. Rep. Jackie Walorski in a car crash in 2022

The South Bend native will represent his hometown, along with other portions of north-central Indiana, in the 2nd Congressional District. Republicans have held the safe Republican seat for years.
