Impact of redistricting
The redistricted map was designed to produce seven districts which favored the Republican Party and two which favored the Democratic Party. According to Roll Call, the 2nd District was considered the "first House seat of the cycle that Roll Call Politics has rated as likely to flip to the other party..."[132]
According to Roll Call's Race Ratings "The most devastating change for 2nd District Democrats was the loss of Kokomo, a middle-class town with heavy union membership and reliable Donnelly voters. Kokomo was split between the heavily Republican 4th and 5th Districts."[132] The redrawn district also lost part of LaPorte County, including Michigan City, to the 1st District.[132] Meanwhile, the district picked up Elkhart County.[132]
The Howey Political Report rated Walorski likely to win this district, after she lost by only a percentage point in 2010. Donnelly's bid for Senate was prompted by the redistricting and the knowledge that he was unlikely to win in 2012.[133]
Endorsements
Walorski was endorsed by Gun Owners of America Political Victory Fund.[134] On March 13, 2012, Walorski was endorsed by The Republican Second District Central Committee.[135] Walorski has also obtained endorsements from the Eagle Forum, FreedomWorks for America, Indiana Chamber of Commerce, Indiana Right to Life, the National Rifle Association (NRA), and the Susan B.

Personal Gain Index

The Personal Gain Index (U.S. Congress) is a two-part measurement that illustrates the extent to which members of the U.S. Congress have prospered during their tenure as public servants.
It consists of two different metrics:
PGI: Change in net worth
Based on congressional financial disclosure forms and calculations made available by OpenSecrets.org, Walorski's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $110,013 and $426,000. That averages to $268,006.50, which is lower than the average net worth of Republican representatives in 2012 of $6,956,438.47.[138]

---|---|
Year | Average Net Worth |
2012 | $268,006 |
The data used to calculate changes in net worth may include changes resulting from assets gained through marriage, inheritance, changes in family estates and/or trusts, changes in family business ownership, and many other variables unrelated to a member's behavior in Congress.
PGI: Donation Concentration Metric
Filings required by the Federal Election Commission report on the industries that give to each candidate. Using campaign filings and information calculated by OpenSecrets.org, Ballotpedia calculated the percentage of donations by industry received by each incumbent over the course of his or her career (or 1989 and later, if elected prior to 1988). Walorski received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Leadership PACs industry.
From 2009-2014, 26.48 percent of Walorski's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[139]
