Blue Dog Democrat [[Baron Hill]] was reelected with 58% of the vote in 2008, the first time he had an easy election in his 8-years in the House. A conservative district that supported George W. Bush in 2004 and John McCain in 2008, he will probably face a tough opponent in 2010. Announced Republican candidates include Todd Young, an attorney and former aide to Senator [[Richard Lugar]], and real estate investor Travis Hankins.

Hill caused controversy when he told his constituents at a health care town hall after a woman asked why she can't record the event, "This is my town hall meeting for you. And you’re not going to tell me how to run my congressional office." <ref>http://www.examiner.com/x-13572-RNC-Examiner~y2009m9d10-RNC-Chairman-Steele-blasts-Indiana-congressman-targets-him-for-defeat</ref> [[Republican National Committee]] chairman [[Michael Steele]] says he will target him for defeat.
