WASHINGTON _ Former Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind., frequently listed his primary residence in the nation's capital and not at his home state, according to a CNN report.
A review of public documents regarding Bayh's residence after he left the Senate in 2011 and worked as a lobbyist in Washington showed that Bayh often listed his two homes in D.C. as his primary residence, though he also owns a condominium in Indiana.
Bayh, who left the Senate in 2011, faces Republican Rep. Todd Young in the race to replace retiring Republican Sen. Dan Coats in November.
Bayh announced he would run for the Senate in July. Young has attempted to highlight Bayh's time in Washington as a lobbyist, alleging he is out of touch with Indiana. But Bayh counters that he comes from a long line of Hoosiers.
Bayh also said of Young in a recent interview, "He's starting this campaign on a very negative basis, but hopefully he'll come around and realize that the path to high public office does not lie down taking a low road."
The Rothenberg & Gonzales Political Report/Roll Call rates the Indiana Senate race as Tilts Democratic.
