Bayh Didn’t Stay In Condo At All In 2010

October 21, 2016 · 11:53 am ET · Leave a Comment

“Evan Bayh says that his Indianapolis condominium has long been his home, and that he has spent ‘lots and lots’ of time there since deciding to run for his old Senate seat. But a copy of his schedule shows Bayh did not stay overnight there once during his last year in office in 2010.”

“The schedule provided to The Associated Press shows the Democrat spent taxpayer money, campaign funds or let other people pay for him to stay in Indianapolis hotels on the relatively rare occasions he returned from Washington, D.C. During the same period, he spent $3,000 in taxpayer money on what appeared to be job hunting trips to New York, despite the assertion of his campaign that the trips were devoted to official media appearances.”

Job Hunt Was a Big Part of Bayh’s Last Year

October 8, 2016 · 6:45 am ET · Leave a Comment

“Evan Bayh spent substantial time during his last year in the Senate searching for a job in the private sector, even as he cast votes on issues of interest to his future corporate bosses, according to the former Indiana lawmaker’s 2010 schedule,” obtained exclusively by the Associated Press.

“A 2007 law requires senators to file a disclosure with the secretary of the Senate within three days of beginning negotiations for private-sector employment. But after the law went into effect, the Senate Ethics Committee defined negotiations as employment discussions that occur after a job offer has been made.”

Evidence Contradicts Bayh’s Claim of Residence

August 15, 2016 · 10:43 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Evan Bayh (D) told WISH-TV that he “never left” Indiana when he was asked if he would move back to Indiana now that he is running to win back his old Senate seat.

But a CNN “review of public records since Bayh left office in 2011 shows the Democrat repeatedly listed his two multi-million dollar homes in Washington as his main places of residence — not the $53,000 condo he owns in Indianapolis.”

Bayh Will Run for Senate In Indiana

July 11, 2016 · 11:01 am ET · Leave a Comment

“Evan Bayh is mounting a return bid to the U.S. Senate, giving national Democrats a boost as they aim to retake the chamber in November,” CNN reports.

“National Democratic leaders have encouraged Bayh to run for more than a year, ever since incumbent GOP Sen. Dan Coats announced he would not run again. Bayh was dismissive at first, insistent he was done with public life, but Monday’s announcement will mark a significant victory for Senate Democratic recruiters.”
