Todd Young (IN - R)

Compare

Todd Young, a veteran of the Navy and the Marine Corps, has a steadfast Republican voting record and political résumé that include toppling an Indiana political dynasty in the 2016 election and running the Senate Republican campaign organization in the 2020 election. Yet Young also works well with Democrats on issues including war powers and low-income housing tax credits. Young sees himself as a compassionate conservative who believes in providing a leg up to needy individuals rather than simply providing a safety net.
