Citizenship Test Answers for Indiana
Four of the 128 civics questions depend on where you live. Here is how to answer them if you live in Indiana.
62. What is the capital of your state?
Answer for Indiana
Indianapolis
This is the one state-specific answer that does not change. The three below change with elections. Every name on this page is checked each night against the congressional record and, for governors, two independent public records, and a name is left out rather than printed when the sources disagree.
23. Who is one of your state's U.S. senators now?
Answer for Indiana now
- Jim Banks
- Todd Young
You only need to give one of these names.
Indiana has two U.S. senators, like every state. You only need to name one of them. Senators are elected to six-year terms, so this answer changes; give the name of a senator serving on the day of your interview.
Look up Indiana's senators at senate.gov
29. Name your U.S. representative.
Your representative depends on your congressional district, not just your state, so it is different for two people living in the same city. Look it up by ZIP code.
All 9 of Indiana's representatives, by district

| 4 | James R. Baird |
| 5 | Victoria Spartz |
| 6 | Jefferson Shreve |
| 7 | André Carson |
| 8 | Mark B. Messmer |

If you do not know your district, the lookup below finds it from your ZIP code.
Find your representative at house.gov
Residents of territories with nonvoting Delegates or Resident Commissioners may provide the name of that Delegate or Commissioner. Also acceptable is any statement that the territory has no (voting) representatives in Congress.
61. Who is the governor of your state now?
Answer for Indiana now
Mike Braun
Governors are elected and change, so answer with whoever is serving on the day of your
interview. Your state government's official .gov website is the reliable
place to check.
Background on Indiana
Indianapolis is Indiana's capital and its largest city, and unusually it was designed to be the capital: commissioners picked an almost exactly central site in 1820 and laid out a new town there, with the seat of government moving from Corydon in 1825. Indiana became the 19th state in 1816. It has 9 congressional districts and 11 electoral votes. The central location was chosen so that no citizen would be more than a few days' travel from the statehouse, an idea about access to government that also shows up in the test's questions about who a representative answers to — a district, not a whole state, which is why your representative depends on your address.
This background section is written by US Citizenship Test Practice. It is not part of the USCIS question list, and it names no senator, representative or governor itself: those names change with elections, so they appear only in the answers above, which are checked every night.
