Indiana state politics

[edit]
As governor, Bayh implemented a $1.6 billion tax cut, the largest in state history, before Governor Mike Pence implemented one larger in 2013

After a debate over whether he met the state's five-year residency requirement to be on the ballot,[16]Bayh defeated former Kokomo Mayor Steve Daily in the Democratic primary of the1988 Indiana gubernatorial election.He went on to defeat the incumbent lieutenant governor (RepublicanJohn Mutz) in the general election, becoming the first Democrat to serve as Governor of Indiana in 20 years. Only 32 years old upon his election and 33 when he took office, Bayh became the youngest governor in the nation at the time.[17]He was re-elected as governor in1992,defeating State Attorney General Linley E. Pearson with 63% of the vote.[18]

By the end of his second term, Bayh had an approval rating of nearly 80 percent.[16]He was ineligible to seek a third consecutive term in 1996 due to term limits.[19]

When his second term as governor ended in 1997, he accepted a lecturing position at his alma mater, theKelley School of BusinessatIndiana University Bloomington.[16]From 1997 to 1998, while he was campaigning for U.S. Senate, Bayh was also hired as a partner atIndianapolislaw firmBaker & Daniels.In 1998, his Baker & Daniels salary was $265,000, according to Senate financial records.

Bayh was elected to theU.S. Senatein 1998 to the seat that was once held by his father. He won with 64% of the vote, the largest margin ever recorded for a Democrat in a U.S. Senate race in Indiana, defeating formerFort WayneMayorPaul Helmke. He easily won reelection in 2004, defeating Prof. Marvin Scott, receiving 62% of the vote—in the process, becoming only the fifth Indiana Democrat to be popularly elected to a second term in the Senate.

Bayh released an autobiography in 2003 entitledFrom Father to Son: A Private Life in the Public Eye.

From 2001 to 2005, Bayh served as Chairman of theDemocratic Leadership Council(DLC). He is also a member of theSenate Centrist Coalition,helped establish theNew Democrat Coalition,and founded theModerate Dems Working Group.[21]Bayh also served on the board of directors of theNational Endowment for Democracy.[22]

Bayh was an early supporter of the Bush administration's policies on Iraq.[23][24][25]On October 2, 2002, Bayh joined PresidentGeorge W. BushandCongressionalleaders in aRose Gardenceremony announcing their agreement on thejoint resolutionauthorizing theIraq War,and was thanked by Bush and SenatorJohn McCainfor co-sponsoring the resolution.[26]He voted yes on reauthorizing thePatriot Actin 2006.[27]

In the aftermath of theFinancial crisis of 2007–2008,Bayh joined with his fellow senators in hurrying tobail out U.S. financial institutions.Addressing the launch of theNo Labelspolitical organization, he "described a scene from 2008 whereBen Bernankewarned senators that the sky would collapse if the banks weren't rescued. 'We looked at each other,' said Bayh, 'and said, okay, what do we need.' "[28]

Retirement

[edit]

On February 15, 2010, Bayh announced he would not seek reelection to a third Senate term in the November 2, 2010, midterm election. Bayh's announcement came very shortly after former SenatorDan Coatsdeclared his own candidacy for Bayh's Senate seat.[29]Because he made his announcement the day before the deadline for filing for theprimary,no Democrat was able to gather a sufficient number of signatures to qualify for the primary ballot, so the state party committee chose CongressmanBrad Ellsworthas the nominee.[30][31]

According to theAssociated Press,Bayh spent a significant portion of his last year in office searching for a job, holding over four dozen meetings with potential corporate employers between February and December 2010.[32]He also cast votes on issues of interest to his future corporate employers.[32]ACNNanalysis of Bayh's internal 2009 schedule found that he "maneuvered behind the scenes" and "privately engaged with fundraisers, lobbyists and donors who had a keen interest on the issues dominating Capitol Hill," raising potential conflict-of-interest concerns. His meetings included sessions with lobbyists for the health insurance industry prior to his announcement that he would support theAffordable Care Act.[33]

Committee assignments

[edit]

Relationship between office and late wife's corporate career

[edit]

Susan Bayh,Evan Bayh's late wife, has been described by the Fort WayneJournal Gazetteas a "professional board member" or "professional director", having been a director of fourteen corporations since 1994 and being a director of eight as of 2006.[34]

TheJournal Gazettereported that since Susan Bayh began her career as a corporate director, "Sen. Evan Bayh [has] cast more than 3,000 votes, including some on issues of keen interest to the pharmaceutical, broadcast, insurance, food-distribution and finance industries".[34]

Since 2003, Bayh prohibited his staff from havinglobbyingcontacts with his late wife or representatives of the companies she directs. Bayh has insisted his late wife's ties have had no bearing on his congressional actions. "The reality is I don't even know the people who run the vast majority of her companies. I've never even spoken to them," Bayh told theJournal Gazette."The reality is, we don't talk about stuff that she's involved with."[34]

[edit]

Economy

[edit]

At a speech to theCommonwealth Club of California,Bayh said:

What concerns me most about President Bush's tax and budget proposals, is that they threaten to undermine the foundation of the '90s' prosperity – replacing the "virtuous cycle" created by fiscal responsibility with a "vicious cycle" of deficits and debt, rising interest rates, anddisinvestment.His proposals constitute a narrow ideological agenda, not an effective economic strategy, and completely fail to grasp the realities of the New Economy and the many requirements for economic success in the 21st Century.[65]

Education

[edit]

As governor, Bayh created the 21st Century Scholars program, which promises at-risk middle school students full tuition scholarships in return for being drug, alcohol and crime-free and maintaining decent grades. Iowa and Wisconsin have both introduced legislation modeling Bayh's program.[66][67]

Bayh appeared onCNN'sLate Editionin January 2006[73]and referred to the "radical, almost delusional nature of theIranianregime "and recent comments of Iranian PresidentMahmoud Ahmadinejadthatthe Holocaustis a "myth. To deny history like this, this virulent anti-Semitism, their sponsoring of terrorism, their search for a nuclear weapon – ought to be a wake-up call to every American. Appeasement won't work. We need to use diplomacy, economic sanctions, other means, so we won't have to resort to military action."[73]

Bayh introduced legislation in January 2006 that would impose sanctions on Iran.[74]

On January 20, 2006, Bayh introduced a resolution calling for economic sanctions on Iran, with the goal of deterring Iran from developing nuclear weapons.[75]In 2007, Bayh "supported the Kyl-Lieberman amendment that Obama made a key part of his critique of Clinton."[76][77]

Bayh was an early supporter of the idea of removingSaddam Husseinfrom power for humanitarian reasons.[23]

On October 2, 2002, Bayh joined President George W. Bush and congressional leaders in a Rose Garden ceremony announcing their agreement on the joint resolution authorizing the Iraq War, and was thanked by Bush and Senator John McCain for co-sponsoring the resolution.[26]In 2006, Bayh criticized the conduct of theIraq War:

It is clear to just about everyone but the die-hardneoconservativeswithin this administration that shifting our focus away fromOsama bin LadentoSaddam Husseinwas perhaps the biggest strategic blunder in our nation's history. And while we have been preoccupied withIraq,under this President,North Koreahas gone nuclear andIranis on the verge of doing so.[78]

AblogfromThe Washington Postreported that in February 2006 Bayh was quoted saying: "We've got to be somewhere between 'cut and run'... and mindlesslystaying the course.You've got to have a sensible middle ground. "[79]

Trade

[edit]

During his time in the Senate, Bayh criticized trade policies of some countries, including China. Bayh's bipartisan Stopping Overseas Subsidies (SOS) Act was intended to allow the United States to enforce its antisubsidy laws abroad. He voted againstCAFTA.[80]
