1928 United States Senate election in Indiana

The 1928 United States Senate election in Indiana took place on November 6, 1928, as part of the nationwide elections occurring that year. This election was held to fill the Senate seat vacated by Republican incumbent Arthur Raymond Gould, who chose not to seek re-election. The primary contest saw the emergence of Democrat Frederick Van Nuys, a prominent figure in Indiana politics, who campaigned on issues of economic recovery and progressive reform. He faced off against Republican nominee John W. Thomas, who advocated for conservative policies and aligned with President Calvin Coolidge's administration. Ultimately, Van Nuys won the election, marking a significant shift in Indiana's political landscape and contributing to the broader Democratic gains observed in the 1928 midterm elections amid a period of economic prosperity.
