Marlin Stutzman Leaving House to Run For Senate

Rep. Marlin Stutzman will announce an Indiana Senate bid Saturday, according to multiple sources with knowledge of his plans, making him the second Republican to join the open-seat race.
Democrats are hoping Stutzman’s entrance into the contest will produce a bloody Republican primary that could endanger the GOP’s chances at holding on to retiring Sen. Dan Coats’ seat.
Stutzman joins Eric Holcomb, a former Coats chief of staff, in the primary field. Reps. Todd Young and Todd Rokita also are mulling the race.

Rep. Marlin Stutzman (R-IN) is mulling a bid for the U.S. Senate in 2016, now that Sen.
