Randy Novak

Rep. Randy Novak is a real estate broker and retired fire chief from LaPorte County running for reelection to the Indiana House this fall. As a legislator, Randy’s priorities include supporting first responders, maintaining strong emergency services, promoting workforce development, and expanding access to quality, affordable housing. He’s a strong advocate for balanced budgets, responsible economic growth, and collaborative solutions to uplift Indiana’s working families.

This year, Indiana Democrats have a chance to break the GOP supermajority in the state House, and defending highly competitive districts like Randy’s is critical to achieving that goal.

2026 is a historic opportunity to build Democratic power in the Indiana General Assembly and break the Republican supermajority in the Indiana House.

The DLCC has worked to lay a foundation for progress in Indiana by supporting key races, such as Rep. Wendy Dant Chesser’s successful campaign for the Indiana House in 2024, and by analyzing data to identify the most winnable districts in the 2026 general elections.

Indiana Republicans have used their power to rubber-stamp disastrous MAGA policies, including sweeping Medicaid cuts that will put health care coverage out of reach for Indiana’s working families. In 2026, the GOP shows no signs of changing course, and Trump-endorsed candidates have won primaries across the state. 

However, for the first time in over a decade, Republicans’ grip on the Indiana House is vulnerable. Democrats only need to gain four additional seats to break the GOP supermajority in the chamber and achieve the ability to block harmful legislation in committee before it reaches the chamber floor for a vote. 

Now is the time to rally behind Indiana Democrats running in the state’s most competitive districts, candidates who can chip away at Republican extremism and help turn the tide toward progress in the Hoosier State.
