2024 elections: Who will run in Indiana's 8th congressional district now that now Republican Larry Bucshon is not running for re-election?

 
It's a reliably GOP district.  Trump received 65.5% of the vote in 2020.

The Indiana Republican — who sits on the House Energy and Commerce Committee — is the latest in a steady stream of lawmakers to announce his plans to retire from Congress. His chief of staff announced Buchson's intentions in an email shortly before he made a public announcement, according to an email obtained by POLITICO. 
“Scripture teaches us, 'For everything there is a season,' and it became clear to me over the Christmas holiday with much discernment and prayer that the time has come to bring my season in public service to a conclusion," Bucshon said in a press release. 
He was first elected to the House in 2010, and took office in 2011.

The 8th CD is located in southwestern Indiana and includes the cities of Evansville, Vincennes, and Terre Haute.


Scripture also tells us that women and children should hide on the day that the Lord comes.
            Whoever is captured will be thrust through; 
            all who are caught will fall by the sword. 
            Their infants will be dashed to pieces before their eyes; 
            their houses will be looted and their wives violated.
                                                    Isaiah 13:15-16
