Shreve, a former member of the Indianapolis City Council who was defeated in the city's mayoral election last year, defeated teacher Cynthia Wirth, a Democrat.

INDIANAPOLIS — Republican Jefferson Shreve won election to a U.S. House seat representing Indiana on Tuesday. 

Shreve, a former member of the Indianapolis City Council who was defeated in the city's mayoral election last year, defeated teacher Cynthia Wirth, a Democrat. 

Wirth unsuccessfully ran for the seat in 2022 against Republican incumbent Rep. Greg Pence, the older brother of former Vice President Mike Pence. Greg Pence chose not to seek a fourth term. 

Shreve campaigned on a platform of finishing the U.S.-Mexican border wall to stem illegal migration and said excessive federal spending is driving inflation. 

The Associated Press declared Shreve the winner at 8:37 p.m. EST.
