Erin Houchin was born and raised in Indiana’s 9th District, and is a proud lifelong Hoosier.
In 2014, Erin defeated a powerful 26-year incumbent Democrat and was elected to the Indiana State Senate, where she served until 2022. She quickly and consistently proved herself as a strong conservative fighter as she passed legislation to protect the unborn, defend the Second Amendment, and support law enforcement. She supported Indiana’s Balanced Budget Amendment, aggressively fought tax increases, expanded broadband access in rural areas, improved educational opportunities for children, and authored legislation to make Indiana a Constitutional Carry state.

A position shows what the candidate said—not FactVote's endorsement.
Each summary is supported by the candidate's own words from a campaign source, direct candidate response, or official primary record retained with the profile.
Erin believes our government takes too much of your money, and spends too much. Just as families across Indiana balance their budgets, she believes the federal government should too. It's no question that our growing national debt is a national security concern. Erin is a committed fiscal conservative and has the track record to prove it, and as a champion for Indiana’s Balanced Budget Amendment, she is bringing that same fiscal discipline to Washington.

SECURE THE BORDER: Joe Biden let over 10 million individuals illegally invade our country—that we know of. These illegals outnumber the population of Indiana by three million people. Erin visited the border in Texas twice, and witnessed the chaos and destruction firsthand. She fully supports President Trump’s efforts to restore border security—by backing law enforcement, finishing the wall, and deporting criminal illegal aliens to protect American communities.

PROTECT THE SECOND AMENDMENT: Erin is a firm believer that the Second Amendment is one of our most important freedoms, and she understands the importance of protecting our constitutional right to bear arms.

PROTECT THE UNBORN: Erin is pro-life and always has been. She has been a steadfast leader in the fight for the unborn, consistently advocating for the prohibition of late-term abortions, and resources and care for mothers in need.

Anthony List have endorsed her, she has earned an A+ rating from the SBA List, and had a consistent 100% pro-life voting record as a member of the Indiana State Senate.

PROTECT PARENTAL RIGHTS: Parents should be in the driver's seat of their children's education. The pandemic opened American parents' eyes to the reality of our public school system, and millions of parents didn't like what they saw. As a mother of three, Erin knows that parents are the primary stakeholders in their children's education. That's why she voted to pass the Parents Bill of Rights and will continue to support parents in this ongoing effort for transparency and a seat at the table as we prepare the next generation for success.

UPHOLD LAW & ORDER: Hoosiers are fortunate to have some of the most dedicated and talented law enforcement and public safety officials in the country, and it’s our duty to have their backs. These brave men and women should be protected by lawmakers instead of being met with hostility and resentment. Erin will always fight to ensure our officers have the necessary resources to do their jobs effectively and safely, and they have the support and compensation they deserve. Erin will never allow radical left-wing politicians to defund the police.

CREATE JOBS: Erin knows the best way to create jobs and grow the economy is to get the government out of the way and let small business owners do what they do best – innovate and create new jobs. Indiana has one of the best economies in the nation, a direct result of our conservative values. As a small business owner, Erin continues the fight to cut bureaucratic red tape and support limited government while working to cut taxes, promote free markets, and control government spending.

The exact official service window begins 2023-01-03, but the first identity-safe member-level roll call currently captured is dated 2023-01-03. Earlier online Clerk material that is unavailable or cannot be bridged to one exact member identity remains excluded; no vote or absence is inferred. Every numbered U.S. House roll call published by the Clerk during the configured service window is reconciled through the member's exact Bioguide ID. Clerk XML through 2002 does not publish Bioguide IDs, so those rows require a candidate-specific official House identity and service bridge plus one unique exact published-name, party, and state tuple. A published roll without an identity-safe row is retained as an explicit source omission and is not labeled as a vote or absence. Voice votes and other actions without member-level roll calls are outside this archive.
Official filings may be amended after publication.
