Describe Yourself:
I am a United States Senator from Indiana currently serving a second term. During my time in the Senate, I have been a leader in providing troops with much-needed armored vehicles, I called for sanctions to put real pressure on Iran, and I authored a comprehensive, bipartisan energy plan that would dramatically reduce dependence on foreign oil in 10 years. Prior to being elected to the Senate, I served two terms as Governor of Indiana
Despite coming from the heavily Republican state of Indiana, I managed to outperform President Bush in the last election, winning over 63% of the vote.
One of my proudest political accomplishments was the creation of the 21st Century Scholars program, which provides underprivileged students the opportunity to attend college. The 21st Century Scholars program has helped more than 100,000 Hoosier students achieve their dreams of attending college and helped moved Indiana from 40th in the nation for sending students to college to ninth.
IÂÂÂ'd love to hear your opinions and views on both political and non-political issues. Please feel free to send me a message and I will try to respond to you.
