DSCC Chairman Senator Jon Tester released the following statement on Evan Bayh’s decision to run for Indiana’s open U.S. Senate seat:
“At a time when our country is so divided across party lines, we need more leaders committed to putting aside these differences to confront our greatest challenges. Evan Bayh’s record as Indiana’s Governor and U.S. Senator reflects this very commitment. A bipartisan problem-solver, Evan has always put Hoosiers first – striving to make Indiana all the better, whether it was working to cut taxes or steadily increasing funding for K-12 and expanding access to higher education. Evan has once again shown his commitment to the people he’s served by stepping forward to make sure middle class Hoosiers have a true voice in the Senate. We look forward to working to elect him this fall.”
