Summary
Rep. Victoria Spartz is the first and only Ukrainian-born member of Congress. She is locked in a tough reelection fight in the May 7 GOP primary. Spartz says she is “kind of appalled” at the notion that her heritage should dictate support.
Spartz, 45, immigrated to the U.S. in 2000 after meeting her husband from Indiana on a train. Goodrich, who represents the wealthy Indianapolis suburb of Hamilton County, outspent Spartz by $1.9 million. Trump has not made an endorsement in the 5th district this year.
