Trade adjustment assistance second vote
The House passed HR 1295—the Trade Preferences Extension Act of 2015—on June 25, 2015, by a vote of 286-138.

2016

See also: United States Senate election in Indiana, 2016

The race for Indiana's Senate seat was one of nine competitive battleground races in 2016 that helped Republicans maintain control of the Senate. Senator-elect Todd Young (R) defeated former Sen. Evan Bayh (D), entrepreneur and Secretary of the Hamilton County Libertarian Party Lucy Brenton (L), and James Johnson (Write-in) in the general election to win retiring incumbent Dan Coats' (R) Senate seat on November 8, 2016.^[141]^[142]^[143]

Ballotpedia initially rated the race for Indiana's Senate seat as safely Republican, but it became a battleground race when Bayh entered the race. Young was expected to easily defeat former U.S. Rep. Baron Hill (D), but Hill exited the race on July 11, 2016, to give Democrats a better chance at winning Indiana with Bayh as the party's nominee.^[144]

Bayh, a well-known candidate whose family was active in Indiana politics for decades, became the frontrunner as soon as he entered the race, but missteps caused his lead over Young in the polls to narrow.^[145]^[146]

Republicans accused Bayh of abandoning Indiana by citing reports that showed he was considered an inactive voter in August 2016 by the Indiana Election Division. Republicans also accused Bayh of abandoning the state because he owned two multimillion-dollar homes in Washington, D.C., where he spent most of his time.^[147]^[148]

While on the campaign trail, Bayh discussed his decision to return to politics and run for his old Senate seat, saying, "I think a lot of what you see going on at the national level is a primal scream at Washington, saying, 'Enough already. You've got to change your ways. Business as usual isn't good enough anymore.' That's a sentiment I share. Business as usual isn't good enough anymore. One of the reasons I'm running is to try to change that."^[149]

Young tried to undercut Bayh’s message by portraying him as a Washington insider and positioning himself as someone who has always been loyal to the Hoosier state. 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.”^[150]

In his victory speech, Young said, "I learned in the marines [sic] to put people before politics. Tonight you proved the Indiana senate seat belongs to the people of indiana [sic]. This is your seat. This is your seat."^[151]

Ballotpedia survey responses

Todd C. Young did not complete Ballotpedia's 2022 Candidate Connection survey.

2016

The following issues were listed on Young's campaign website. A full explanation of Young's stance on each issue can be viewed here.

“

Agriculture: Agriculture is the lifeblood of the Hoosier economy. Products grown in Indiana feed not only the rest of the country, but also the rest of the world. Unfortunately, it has been a trying time to be a Hoosier farmer. The EPA’s WOTUS rule is the biggest unilateral regulatory overreach in recent memory.

Education: An education is one of the most fundamental aspects of a young person’s life. It is absolutely crucial that we are able to make decisions to put our children in the best position to succeed. Unfortunately, Washington is dead set on controlling education decisions and budgets.

Healthcare: Make no mistake: Obamacare is nothing short of a government takeover of your healthcare. Todd supports a repeal of Obamacare and wants to replace it with common-sense health care reform that keeps your health care decisions between you and your doctor – not between you and the government.

Jobs & Economy: Jobs. Too many Americans don't have them, and folks in Washington spend too little time worrying about them. Hoosiers elected Todd to Congress because they wanted a new, conservative approach to economic policies. Government doesn't create jobs, it just tends to get in the way of how small businesses operate. Todd listens to small business owners to learn what obstacles he can remove so they can create more jobs.

Tax Reform: Taxes are complicated. Everybody knows that – Todd Young included. That's why he is fighting to have the current tax system simplified in order to reward Americans for working hard, investing and saving the money they've earned. Most importantly, it allows you to keep more of your hard-earned money in your own pocket. We can accomplish this by reforming the current tax code with a simpler system.

Spending & Balanced Budget: The single greatest threat to our nation's future – to the future we owe to our children – is the rapidly growing national debt. The plain truth is that that we spend more than we take in and borrow more than 40 cents for every dollar spent. The U.S. is mired in over $16 trillion of debt—roughly the same size as our annual national economy. Five trillion dollars of that has been added since 2008 under the Obama administration. There is no way to spin it, no matter how hard Democrats try: our current path is unsustainable.

Medicare, Medicaid & Social Security: Mandatory spending programs like Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security are vital programs to protect the elderly, the sick and the poor. Unfortunately, they are heading for bankruptcy. If we don't act soon, those of us who rely on them most could very well be left without the assistance we've paid into and need. There will be nothing left for future generations.

National Defense: One of the most important duties of the government is providing for the public safety and national defense. As a former Marine Corps intelligence officer and a previous member of the House Armed Services Committee, Todd takes this duty very seriously.

Pro-Life: Todd knows that life begins at conception, and that the right to life – just like the right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness – is of utmost importance. He also knows not every woman is prepared to raise a child. That's why Todd is also a strong advocate of adoption – support which stretches back to Todd's time in the private sector.

2nd Amendment: As a member of the National Rifle Association and a U.S. Marine, Todd is a proud supporter of the 2nd Amendment. Last Congress Todd was a co-sponsor of a measure that would give national reciprocity to the conceal-carry permits of individual states. When properly licensed gun owners travel with their firearms, they shouldn't have to worry about whether or not they are breaking the law.^[155]

Personal Gain Index

See also: Personal Gain Index (U.S. Congress)

The Personal Gain Index (U.S. Congress) is a two-part measurement that illustrates the extent to which members of the U.S. Congress have prospered during their tenure as public servants.
It consists of two different metrics:

PGI: Change in net worth

See also: Changes in Net Worth of U.S. Senators and Representatives (Personal Gain Index) and Net worth of United States Senators and Representatives

Based on congressional financial disclosure forms and calculations made available by OpenSecrets.org, Young's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between -$496,995 and $629,998. That averages to $66,501.50, which was lower than the average net worth of Republican representatives in 2012 of $6,956,438.47. Young ranked as the 388th most wealthy representative in 2012.^[156] Between 2009 and 2012, Young's calculated net worth^[157] increased by an average of 1 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.^[158]

Todd Young Yearly Net Worth
Year	Average Net Worth
2009	$64,747
2012	$66,501.50
Growth from 2009 to 2012:	3%
Average annual growth:	1%^[159]
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.^[160]

The data used to calculate changes in net worth may include changes resulting from assets gained through marriage, inheritance, changes in family estates and/or trusts, changes in family business ownership, and many other variables unrelated to a member's behavior in Congress.

PGI: Donation Concentration Metric

See also: The Donation Concentration Metric (U.S. Congress Personal Gain Index)

Filings required by the Federal Election Commission report on the industries that give to each candidate. Using campaign filings and information calculated by OpenSecrets.org, Ballotpedia calculated the percentage of donations by industry received by each incumbent over the course of his or her career (or 1989 and later, if elected prior to 1988). Young received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Retired industry.

From 2009-2014, 19.61 percent of Young's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.^[161]
