GOP Indiana Rep. Larry Bucshon announces retirement from Congress
- Republican Indiana Rep. Larry Bucshon announced Monday that he will not seek reelection to an eighth term in Congress.
- Bucshon is the second member of Indiana’s House delegation to forego reelection. The first, fellow Republican Jim Banks, retired to run for an open Senate seat.
- Bucshon, 61, of Evansville, represents southwestern Indiana’s “Bloody Eighth” congressional district, a former swing seat that now reliably votes Republican.
Republican U.S. Rep. Larry Bucshon of Indiana announced Monday that he will not seek reelection this year to an eighth term and will retire from Congress after 14 years.
Bucshon did not explain his decision not to seek reelection to southern and western Indiana’s 8th District but said in a statement that he reached his decision to retire during the Christmas holiday.
“Scripture teaches us, ‘For everything there is a season,’ and it became clear to me over the Christmas holiday with much discernment and prayer that the time has come to bring my season in public service to a conclusion,” he said.

Bucshon first won the seat in the Republican-leaning district in 2010, when then-incumbent Democratic Rep. Brad Ellsworth vacated it to run for the U.S. Senate. The 8th District covers several Indiana counties in the west-central and southwestern portions of the state.
Bucshon, who is a senior member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, thanked his wife, Kathryn, their four children and his constituents for supporting him over the past 14 years during his congressional career.
“As the son of an underground coal miner and a nurse who grew up in a small town in rural America, it’s been the privilege of a lifetime to have been afforded the opportunity to represent Hoosiers in Southern and West Central Indiana as their elected representative in the U.S. Congress,” he said.

MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) – An inflatable replica of the future USS Wisconsin submarine was on display Friday at the Duck Pond, giving families and children a look at the vessel set to carry the state’s name.
The inflatable model is approximately one-eleventh the size of the actual submarine, which will measure more than 550 feet in length. The USSBN 827 Wisconsin is a Columbia-class submarine that began construction in 2025.
Jeff Davis, a board member of the USSBN 827 Wisconsin Submarine association, said the group is working to raise awareness about the submarine and build a connection between Wisconsin residents and the crew.
“We are currently promoting the building of the USS Wisconsin, the next SSBN in the District of Columbia class,” Davis said. “This is the latest technology; it started being built last year. The point of us is to build the awareness that we have this submarine named after the state of Wisconsin. And build a relationship between the citizens of Wisconsin and the crew that’s going to operate this submarine.”
Davis said the effort extends beyond awareness.
“It’s a great way to get excited about engineering. It’s a great way to get excited about being part of the Navy or any of the armed forces,” Davis said. “And basically, being a part of supporting our nation.”
Construction on the submarine is expected to be completed around 2028. Following completion, the vessel will undergo a christening — when it is placed in the water — followed by approximately two years of testing before being commissioned into service.
Once commissioned, the submarine is expected to remain in service for roughly 42 years. The association said it plans to remain involved with the vessel through its eventual decommissioning.
The inflatable replica is scheduled to make additional stops at parades and outreach events throughout the summer. For more information on where to see the inflatable sub, check out their website USSWisconsinsub.org.

After being selected No. 53 overall in the 2026 NBA Draft, Ugonna Onyenso signed a two-way deal with the Detroit Pistons.
Amid speculation of a possible Jalen Duren departure, the Detroit Pistons signed recent No. 53 overall pick Ugonna Onyenso to a two-way contract following the 2026 NBA Draft. Considering Detroit finished atop the Eastern Conference last year, playing time may be tough to come by for Onyenso; however, that doesn’t change his status as an intriguing prospect.
Despite nearly falling out of the draft entirely, the Virginia product was viewed as one of the top shot-blocking prospects, standing at 7’0″ with a 7’5″ wingspan. Last season in the ACC, Onyenso had a block percentage of 17.4 and averaged 2.9 blocks in less than 20 minutes per game. In the ACC Tournament, Onyenso gained notariety for his defensive prowess, averaging seven blocks per game in a three-game span, including nine blocks against Cameron Boozer and Duke.
For these reasons, Onyenso has potential to carve out a solid career as a defensive specialist if given the opportunity.
