A few hours before gaveling in, the Indiana House released its proposed map that splits the current First District, held by U.S. Rep. Frank Mrvan, D-Highland, into two, by putting the majority of Porter County into the Second District, which is currently held by U.S. Rep. Rudy Yakym, R-Granger. The new First District stretches eastward from Lake County toward Wabash County in north central Indiana. The Seventh District, currently held by U.S. Rep. André Carson, D-Indianapolis, was divided into four sections, with the majority of Marion County split into the districts held by U.S. Rep. Jefferson Shreve, R-Indianapolis, and U.S. Rep. Erin Houchin, R-Salem.
