Senator Bayh announced his retirement earlier this year and is wrapping up his second term, where he has been a consistent fighter for the Hoosier State.

He served the people of Indiana for 8 years as Governor and led the State to its largest budget surplus ever, while creating thousands and thousands of jobs.
