Ukraine-born Indiana GOP Rep. Spartz won't seek 2024 reelection, run for open Senate seat

Indiana GOP Rep. Victoria Spartz said Friday she won't seek reelection in 2024, effectively also removing herself as a possible, top-tied Republican Senate candidate next year.

"It's been my honor representing Hoosiers in the Indiana State Senate and U.S. Congress and I appreciate the strong support on the ground," Spartz said in a statement. "2024 will mark seven years of holding elected office and over a decade in Republican politics."

Spartz was reportedly considering running for Senate in 2024 for the seat of GOP Sen. Mike Braun, who will run for governor.

"I won a lot of tough battles for the people and will work hard to win a few more in the next two years," the Ukraine-born Spartz also said. "However, being a working mom is tough, and I need to spend more time with my two high school girls back home, so I will not run for any office in 2024."
