Terrible news. RIP. I never heard of Jackie Walorski before. She must have not been in Congress that long.
That was not the case. She lost a close election against the incumbent, Joe Donnelly, in 2010. She then won another close one to take the open seat in 2012 after Donnelly left to run for Senate. She was reelected comforably in the subsequent four elections.
Before that she was in the Indiana statehouse and did missionary work in Romania.
I volunteered for her in the 2010 and 2012 elections and that’s how I met VP Pence before he became governor.
