[constituency_baseline] District summary: Indiana's 3rd Congressional District encompasses northeastern Indiana, anchored by Fort Wayne (the state's second-largest city), and extending through 11 counties including Allen, Whitley, Noble, DeKalb, LaGrange, Steuben, Kosciusko, Huntington, Wells, Adams, and parts of Jay and Blackford. With approximately 762,957 residents, it is a deep-red district (Cook PVI R+35, with a +2 D shift projected for 2026). The district has a median household income of $70,696 — well above the $37,585 national median but below the Indiana metro average. The poverty rate is 8.5%, and only 25.5% of residents hold bachelor's degrees, significantly below the 33.7% national average. The population is 81.6% White with small Hispanic, Black, and Asian communities. Only about 3% of residents are foreign-born. The economy is anchored by advanced manufacturing (defense: Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Rolls-Royce facilities), healthcare (Parkview Health, Lutheran Health Network), agriculture (fourth-generation family farms, Maple Leaf Farms duck production), and automotive (General Motors Fort Wayne Assembly). It is car-dependent: 77% drive alone and only 0.5% use public transit. Key local concerns include manufacturing job retention, agricultural trade policy, healthcare costs, and maintaining rural hospital access. Stutzman has represented this district since January 2025, previously holding the same seat from 2010 to 2017.

Voted yea on N/A — DHS Funding Package January 2026 (Department of Homeland Security Short-Term Funding Extension — Ensuring Government Not Shut Down) on 2026-01-30: Stutzman announced support for protecting DHS funding and averting a shutdown, tweeting: 'I stand with POTUS, a shutdown will only hurt the American people.' This contrasted with other House conservatives who called the deal a 'non-starter.' Stutzman's position followed his pattern of ultimately supporting leadership negotiations even when he had initially voiced concerns — a fiscal hawk turned team player when shutdown risks emerged.

Voted yea on H.R. 4 (Rescissions Act of 2025 — On Passage) on 2025-07-18: Stutzman voted to rescind previously appropriated federal spending, consistent with his self-branding as a 'budget hawk.' He praised the bill as putting 'money back in the pockets of American families.' The vote aligned with his House Freedom Fund donor base ($89,445) and Freedom Caucus membership. Stutzman also introduced the Emergency Spending Accountability Act in June 2025 to rein in emergency-designated spending outside regular appropriations.

Voted yea on H.R. 7567 (Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 (Farm Bill) — On Passage) on 2026-04-30: Stutzman's Yea (224-200) illustrates a decade-long evolution. As a freshman in 2013-2014, he was a hero to conservative activists for trying to split SNAP from the farm bill — calling their combination an 'unholy alliance' and losing his 'Friend of Farm Bureau' designation. By 2026, as a fourth-generation farmer himself, he voted for the combined bill. His district's agricultural interests (Maple Leaf Farms, $14,861 donor) and his own farming identity align with the bill's farm subsidies. Only 3 Republicans voted Nay; 14 Democrats crossed over to support it.

Voted yea on H.R. 22 (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act — On Passage) on 2025-04-10: Stutzman voted with all House Republicans (220-208) to require documentary proof of citizenship for voter registration. His district has among the lowest foreign-born population rates in the state, minimizing the practical impact on his own constituents. Only 4 Democrats joined all Republicans, making this a party-line election integrity vote aligned with conservative donor interests.

Voted yea on H.R. 1 (One Big Beautiful Bill Act — On Motion to Concur in the Senate Amendment) on 2025-07-03: After publicly calling Senate changes 'unacceptable increases to the national debt and the deficit,' Stutzman voted Yea on the OBBB (218-214). The bill made permanent the TCJA tax cuts benefiting his district's median-income households but also projected to cut Medicaid eligibility for thousands of Hoosiers and add trillions to the deficit. As a Freedom Caucus 'budget hawk' and House Budget Committee member, the vote was a stark reversal from his stated principles. He justified the flip by citing conversations with Trump and the White House.

Voted yea on S. 5 / H.R. 29 (Laken Riley Act — On Passage) on 2025-01-07: Stutzman voted with all Republicans to mandate ICE detention for undocumented immigrants charged with theft. His district is R+35 with an 81.6% White population and only ~3% foreign-born — immigration enforcement has limited direct impact on his rural and suburban constituents. The vote aligned with his campaign platform describing the border as his 'top priority' and advocating for finishing the wall.

[statement] In December 2014, Stutzman initially voted 'no' on the procedural rule for the $1.1 trillion 'cromnibus' spending bill, then switched his vote to 'yes' after he said GOP leadership assured him the bill would be replaced by a short-term continuing resolution. After the cromnibus passed 214-212, Stutzman accused leadership of misleading him: 'I was very surprised and even more disappointed to see the cromnibus back on the floor.'

[vote] On April 30, 2026, Stutzman voted Yea on the 2026 Farm Bill (H.R. 7567, 224-200), praising it on the floor and noting 'Last summer, the American people won an important victory for common sense and transparency when we ended the unholy alliance between food stamps and farm programs.' The bill passed with only 14 Democratic votes and kept SNAP and agriculture programs together — the very combination he had called an 'unholy alliance.'

[vote] In 2013-2014, Stutzman led a conservative revolt to split the farm bill, famously calling the combination of food stamps and farm programs an 'unholy alliance' that prevents honest debate. He was the only Indiana Republican to vote against the 2014 farm bill and lost his 'Friend of Farm Bureau' designation.
