Indiana’s nine-member House delegation has seen serious turnover during the past few election cycles. All but one member has been elected since 2018, and three were just elected last November. Currently, the Hoosier State delegation is relatively young, and most members seem likely to hold their seats for the indefinite future. At 79 years old, Republican Rep. Jim Baird is the outlier — the other members are all in their 40s and 50s.

Brad Sherman staffer Jake Rakov tells the camera.

Since Hawaii joined the union in 1959, Democrats have dominated the state’s congressional delegation. The 1st District, anchored in the capital city of Honolulu, has only elected two Republicans to Congress: Pat Saiki, who served from 1987-1991, and Charles Djou, who was elected in a 2010 special election and served a single term. The 2nd District, which encompasses the Neighbor Islands and the rural outskirts of Oahu, has never elected a Republican.
