Background

When incumbent Republican U.S. Senator Dan Quayle resigned from the Senate after being elected Vice President of the United States in 1988, Coats was appointed to Quayle's former seat. He then won re-election to serve the remainder of the term in 1990. Coats would then be elected to this seat 18 years later in 2010.

Major candidates

  • Joe Hogsett, Indiana Secretary of State

Republican

  • Dan Coats, incumbent U.S. Senator
