SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — U.S. Rep. Frank Mrvan won a third term in Congress on Tuesday, foiling Republican hopes of flipping a district Democrats have controlled for nearly a century. Republicans in Indiana retained three congressional seats without incumbents running in Tuesday’s election. Three incumbents are retiring or seeking another office, creating vacancies that were filled with victories by the GOP, which now holds seven of Indiana’s nine congressional seats. In the state’s northwest corner, Mrvan defeated Randell Niemeyer, who was hoping to knock off the Democrat in a more conservative district created in a 2022 district map.
