“It is a tremendous honor to continue serving Indiana in the United States Senate,” Sen. Young said. “Over the next six years, I will do my best to represent our state and ensure all Hoosiers have the ability to reach their potential. From outcompeting the Chinese Communist Party to implementing the CHIPS and Science Act to addressing the drivers of our national debt, we have many challenges facing our nation. I am excited to get to work.”

Young currently serves on the U.S. Senate Committees on Finance; Foreign Relations; Commerce, Science & Transportation; and Small Business and Entrepreneurship. He previously served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 2011 to 2016 before being elected to the Senate in 2016. A fifth-generation Hoosier, Young and his family currently reside in Johnson County.
