RATING CHANGE: Walorski’s Re-Election Chances No Longer ‘Solid’
Today, non-partisan election forecasters at Inside Elections downgraded Rep. Jackie Walorski’s election chances, shifting their rating of the race from Solid to Likely Republican. Inside Elections specifically cites the strength of Democratic nominee Mel Hall as a reason for Walorski’s increasing vulnerability.
“From failing to show up and hold a town hall, to voting to rip away health care and give a handout to millionaires and large corporations, Rep. Jackie Walorski has failed Hoosier families and now Mel Hall is going to hold her accountable.” – DCCC Spokesperson Jacob Peters

2nd District (Jackie Walorski, R, re-elected 59%). Trump 59%. The congresswoman was renominated with nearly 80 percent and will face Democrat Mel Hall in the general election. The health care executive is a credible candidate and this race could develop into a GOP headache. Move from Solid R to Likely R.
