2006 United States Senate election in Indiana

Common card · No. 397173

The 2006 United States Senate election in Indiana was held November 7, 2006. Incumbent Republican United States Senator Richard Lugar was re-elected to his sixth six-year term with 87.3% of the vote. He did not have a Democratic opponent, and only faced opposition from a Libertarian candidate; this was the only U.S. Senate race in 2006 in which Democrats did not field a candidate. This was the last successful race of Lugar's decades-long political career. This is also the last time that Lake, Marion, and Monroe counties have voted for a Republican candidate for the Senate. As of 2026, this is the last election in which an incumbent senator won re-election in this seat.
