INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — On Sunday’s edition of “All INdiana Politics,” voters in Indiana’s largest congressional district will select a new member of Congress in November. Republican Rep. Larry Bucshon is retiring after 14 years representing Indiana’s 8th Congressional District, which covers the southwest portion of the state and includes Evansville, Terre Haute, and Naval Support Activity Crane.

Three names are each looking to replace Bucshon: Republican Mark Messmer, Democrat Erik Hurt, and Libertarian Richard Fitzlaff. News 8’s Garrett Bergquist sat down with Hurt and Fitzlaff.

Later in the show, News 8’s Phil Sanchez brings in two members of Indiana’s best political team, Democrat Kip Tew and Republican Ali Bartlett, to discuss the backlash over Republican Presidential Nominee Donald Trump’s Ohio comments and the town of Sheridan deciding if it wants to reorganize into a single local government.

“All INdiana Politics” airs at 9:30 a.m. Sundays on WISH-TV.

Monday storm blows across northeast Indiana, northwest Ohio

NORTHEAST INDIANA (WANE) – A storm system passed through northeast Indiana and northwest Ohio on Monday evening, leaving a substantial amount of damage in its wake.

Monday night’s storm warranted thunderstorm warnings throughout the viewing area, including Steuben, DeKalb, and Allen counties in Indiana, along with Defiance, Paulding, and Van Wert counties in Ohio.

The storm itself lasted about an hour, but caused chaos by downing unstable trees and signage from strong winds.

Thousands reported power outages across the Fort Wayne area, with a handful of outages in Ohio’s northwest region.

Viewers from across the WANE 15 viewing area shared photos documenting the storm as it blew through, with additional weather phenomena:

Physical guard commits to Indiana basketball from transfer portal: Stats, highlights

BLOOMINGTON — Darian DeVries’ backcourt rebuild got a boost Monday, with the news that Georgia Tech guard Jaeden Mustaf intends to transfer to Indiana.

“ALL IN,” Mustaf posted on social media announcing his decision.

Mustaf, a Maryland native who was once a target for Mike Woodson and Indiana’s previous staff, averaged 10.4 points and 4.3 rebounds per game across 29 appearances for Georgia Tech last season. The 6-foot-6 guard is also a career 37.2% 3-point shooter, though not at significant volume.

Importantly, Mustaf is a big-bodied guard who rebounds his position well and draws fouls at an above-average clip. Last season in Atlanta, he had 4.2 fouls drawn per 40 minutes, and 4.4 in ACC play, a top-25 number in the conference. He also finished his sophomore season scoring the ball well — Mustaf averaged 14 points per game in the Yellow Jackets’ last nine, and 16.3 per game in their last six.

His arrival strengthens a guard rotation that will need remade essentially from the ground up this spring. The Hoosiers’ only returners don’t play the position, and DeVries signed just one out-and-out guard, Prince-Alexander Moody, in the 2026 class.

Mustaf’s commitment hands the Hoosiers a strong, capable guard with high-major experience and multiple years of eligibility remaining around which DeVries and his staff can build.

Mustaf was at one time a target for Woodson, coming out of high school. Mustaf played with Overtime Elite before making the move to college.

New Hope of Indiana launches million campaign to transform campus

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A $4 million transformation is in the works for New Hope of Indiana, the largest nonprofit residential services provider for individuals with disabilities in Marion County.

New Hope says the ‘Imagine More’ capital campaign will fund key improvements to New Hope’s 14-acre campus at 8450 Payne Road. It’ll include a new community and multi-purpose space, expanded and inclusive outdoor areas, a commercial kitchen for life-skills and employment training, and renovations to improve accessibility, safety, and overall experience.

New Hope has already raised $3.35 million toward its gold, including a $1.5 million matching gift from United Way of Central Indiana. During their campaign’s launch Monday, New Hope says they plan to raise the remaining $650,000 to complete the campaign, the largest in its history.

“As we celebrate 48 years of service, this campaign represents an important step forward for New Hope and the people we serve,” Allison Wharry, president and CEO of New Hope of Indiana said in a release.

“Imagine More is rooted in listening to the individuals and families in our community, and creating spaces that support dignity, independence, and a strong sense of belonging. We are grateful for the momentum that has brought us this far and excited to invite the community to help us finish,” Wharry said.
