Prior to 2002, the 2nd congressional district covered east central Indiana, including most of the territory now in the 6th district. However, following the 2000 U.S. census redistricting, the district was moved to replace most of what had been the 3rd district.[3]
On November 8, 2022, Republican candidate Rudy Yakym won both the general election and the special election to complete the rest of incumbent representative Jackie Walorski's term after Walorski died in a car accident August 3, 2022.[4]
Under its borders from 2023 to 2033, Indiana's 2nd congressional district is located in Northern Indiana. It includes Elkhart, Fulton, Marshall, Miami, Pulaski, St. Joseph, Starke and Wabash Counties in full, most of Kosciusko and La Porte Counties, as well as half of Cass County. From 2013 to 2023, the 2nd district had the same borders except that Cass County was entirely in the 4th district.
Cass County is split between this district and the 4th district. They are partitioned roughly by Indiana S Co Rd 200E, Indiana S Co Rd 500E, Indiana N Co Rd 50E, and Indiana N Co Rd 600W. The 2nd district takes in part of the city of Logansport, and the 7 townships of Adams, Bethlehem, Clay, Harrison, Jackson, Miami, Tipton, and part of the township of Deer Creek.
