National Democratic group aims to help break GOP's Indiana House supermajority

A national Democratic Party group says it will provide campaign help to 11 Indiana House candidates with the aim of breaking the supermajority control Republicans have had of the chamber since the 2012 elections.

The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee announced Tuesday a list of six districts it is looking to win from current Republican House members and five Democratic-held districts that are priorities to hold.

Republicans enter this year’s elections with a 70-30 House majority. Democrats need to pick up four House seats to break the two-thirds supermajority that allows Republicans to take action without Democrats even being present.

“Indiana Democrats are within striking distance of breaking the House GOP supermajority that has dominated the state for more than a decade,” DLCC President Heather Williams said in a statement. “From failing to address the affordability crisis, to ignoring soaring utility rates and slashing access to healthcare, working Hoosiers are struggling to get by under Republican policies.”
