Merrillville, IN – Congressman Frank J. Mrvan released the following statement after securing the Democratic nomination to seek re-election to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2024.

It is my distinct honor to secure the Democratic nomination to continue to represent Indiana’s First Congressional District.  I also applaud all of the candidates of both parties and at all levels of government for their willingness to step forward with their ideas and to be active participants in the democratic process.

I am running for re-election in order to continue to create work and wealth for everyone in Northwest Indiana.  I look forward to building upon my progress as Vice Chairman of the Congressional Steel Caucus and Member of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce to support the Northwest Indiana steel industry and fight for the rights of every member of organized labor.  I am proud to have fought to expand Buy America requirements and bring transformational federal dollars to our region for the expansion and recapitalization of the South Shore Rail Line, for enhanced operations at the Gary/Chicago International Airport, and for securing a Hydrogen Hub designation at the BP Whiting refinery that will attract billions of dollars in private investments that will strengthen our manufacturing industries, organized labor, and create new cleaner energy jobs for future generations.

And make no mistake, women’s reproductive freedom is on the ballot this November.  Elections have real consequences, and the action of the Supreme Court has impacted the freedom of women in Northwest Indiana and across our nation.  I will continue to stand with all women and fight every day to make Roe. v. Wade the law of the land and ensure that women will make their own best decisions about their health and economic well-being, not politicians.

I look forward to a spirited debate and welcome the opportunity to share my record of accomplishments to defend all workers, members of organized labor, women’s reproductive rights, and a growing Northwest Indiana economy.
