Congresswoman Victoria Spartz (IN-05) speaks with constituents in Arcadia.
Yesterday, Rep. Victoria Spartz (IN-05) announced that she will not run for reelection in 2024 and will not enter the primary race for Senator Mike Braun’s Senate seat.
In a statement, Congresswoman Victoria Spartz said, “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. 2024 will mark seven years of holding elected office and over a decade in Republican politics.”
Spartz went on to say, “I won a lot of tough battles for the people and will work hard to win a few more in the next two years. 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.”
Rep. Spartz was first elected in 2020, after former Congresswoman Susan Brooks opted out of running for reelection. She previously spent three years in the Indiana State Senate, replacing the retired Luke Kenley. According to the biography on her official website, Sparts previously worked as a bank teller, as well as, “CPA, finance executive, successful business owner” before being appointed to the State Senate.
Spartz was born in Ukraine, at the time a member state of the USSR. She went on to earn a Bachelor of Science and Master of Business Administration from Kyiv National Economic University before immigrating to the US in 2000 after meeting her husband on a train in Europe.
Spartz has made news in the past for being a vocal member of the House Freedom Caucus, including slowing the vote for Speaker Kevin McCarthy in early January. No candidate has announced they will run for her seat at the time of publication.
