Bayh Will Not Run for Indiana Governor

Former Indiana Gov. Evan Bayh (D) told the Indianapolis Star that he won’t try to win back his old job in 2016 was a “governing decision, not a political decision.”

Said Bayh: “I didn’t want to be a symbolic governor. I didn’t want to just have the job for the title or for my ego. If I was going to run for governor and be governor, it was going to be because I had a realistic belief that I could get big, good things done for the people of Indiana. In the current political and legislative climate that was going to be problematic.”
