There's still only one House member running to replace Sen. Dan Coats (R-IN) next year -- at least for now.
Congressman Todd Rokita (R-4th) sent an e-mail Wednesday indicating he will not challenge former state Republican chairman Eric Holcomb and Rep. Marlin Stutzman (R-3rd) for the GOP nomination next year.
"While I am prepared to serve statewide again," the former Secretary of State writes, "If the question is ‘where can we do the most good for Indiana?’," Rokita feels the answer for him is still in the U.S. House of Representatives.
There are still House members considering their next move, though.
Rep. Todd Young (R-9th) has said he'll announce in the coming weeks if pressure from a couple powerful party insiders will convince him to seek office in Congress' upper chamber.
On the Democratic side, the man Young replaced in Congress, Baron Hill, is the only confirmed Democratic candidate for Coats' seat.
