2016

See also:United States Senate election in Indiana, 2016

The race forIndiana's Senate seat was one of nine competitive battleground races in 2016 that helped Republicans maintain control of the Senate.Todd Young (R) defeatedEvan Bayh (D),Lucy Brenton (L), andJames Johnson (I) (Write-in) in the general election to win retiring incumbentDan Coats' (R) Senate seat on November 8, 2016.^[7][8][9]

Bayh, a former U.S. Senator, governor of Indiana, andIndiana Secretary of State received major media attention upon his announcement that he was running for the seat he left in 2011. Nathan Gonzales, editor and publisher of The Rothenberg & Gonzales Political Report, said Bayh’s run “might be the biggest surprise in Senate races this year.”^[10]

Bayh said wanted to return to the Senate to address the same issues of partisanship and gridlock that led him to retire, “Things in Washington have only gotten worse, and it grieves me to see what’s happened in our country, the unmet challenges that so many of our families face. I just concluded that I couldn’t stand on the sidelines anymore and needed to do what I could to try and bring us together to meet our challenges.”^[11]

Young, who representedIndiana's 9th Congressional District from 2011 to 2017, ran on his background as a former Marine, ‘“I would say more than anything else, this election is about who Hoosiers can trust. It’s about character,” Young said. “Either (voters) place their trust in a Marine who lives here in Indiana … or they place their trust in a career politician who’s cashed out and has an unseemly post-Senate career he doesn’t want to talk about.”^[12]

In August 2016, Republicans accused Bayh of not living in Indiana, citing reports that he was listed as aninactive voter by the Indiana Election Division.CNN also reported that public records showed Bayh listed his two Washington, D.C. homes as his places of primary residence instead of his home in Indianapolis.^[13]

During a campaign stop, Young said, “What I’m hearing from people across the board is they are frustrated by their elected representatives going to Washington, D.C., and forgetting about Indiana. They believe special interests and Washington lobbyists — like Evan Bayh — are a big part of the problem, and they’re right.”^[14]

In response to a question about his homes, Bayh told theIndianapolis Star, “Susan and I spent the last couple of nights at our Indianapolis home, and we like it. If Congressman Young and his allies want to attack me, that’s their decision. I’m going to attack the challenges that face Hoosier families and our country. That’s why I’m running.”^[11]
