Republican incumbent Dan Coats, who had served in the Senate since 2011 and previously from 1989 to 1999, ultimately chose to not seek reelection.https://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/senate-races/236747-sen-coats-wont-run-for-reelection/ Coats retirement in Indiana shakes up 2016 battle for Senate The Hill Joseph Cameron March 24, 2015 March 24, 2015 March 25, 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20150325080546/http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/senate-races/236747-sen-coats-wont-run-for-reelection live U.S. Representative Todd Young won the May 3 Republican primary to succeed him, with former U.S. Representative Baron Hill winning the Democratic nomination. However, Hill withdrew from the race on July 11, with former senator Evan Bayh entering the race to regain the seat, which he held from 1999 to 2011. The Indiana Democratic Party formally chose Bayh as Hill's replacement on July 22. Following his entry, Bayh was initially seen as the frontrunner in the race. However, during the campaign, he faced heavy criticism over his post-Senate career as a lobbyist, as well as questions about his residency in the state. Young ultimately won by a comfortable margin, defeating Bayh in the general election by 10 points.Maureen Groppe July 12, 2016 Few former senators have done what Bayh might do http://www.indystar.com/story/news/politics/behind-closed-doors/2016/07/12/few-former-senators-have-done-what-bayh-might-do/86983862 IndyStar July 13, 2016 February 20, 2019 https://web.archive.org/web/20190220201637/https://www.indystar.com/story/news/politics/behind-closed-doors/2016/07/12/few-former-senators-have-done-what-bayh-might-do/86983862/ live Background Republican Senator Dan Coats, who had served in the Senate since 2011, and previously from 1989 to 1999, stated that he planned to run for re-election,Bradner Eric December 8, 2012 Coats preparing for re-election in 2016 » Evansville Courier & Press http://www.courierpress.com/news/2012/dec/08/coats-preparing-for-re-election-in-2016 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20130921062618/http://www.courierpress.com/news/2012/dec/08/coats-preparing-for-re-election-in-2016/ September 21, 2013 September 21, 2013 Courierpress.comFrancisco Brian November 2, 2011 Coats gets head start on 2016 http://www.journalgazette.net/article/20111102/LOCAL0202/111109901 September 21, 2013 Journal Gazette September 25, 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20130925191041/http://www.journalgazette.net/article/20111102/LOCAL0202/111109901 dead but in March 2014 his chief of staff said that Coats had "decided not to decide whether to run again until after the [2014] midterm elections".March 4, 2014 Tully: Dan Coats weighing another term in Senate http://www.indystar.com/story/opinion/columnists/matthew-tully/2014/03/04/tully-dan-coats-weighing-another-term-in-senate/6021149 October 12, 2014 IndyStar.com February 20, 2019 https://web.archive.org/web/20190220193205/https://www.indystar.com/story/opinion/columnists/matthew-tully/2014/03/04/tully-dan-coats-weighing-another-term-in-senate/6021149/ live On March 24, 2015, Coats announced that he would not run for re-election, citing that he would be of advanced age (just under 80 years old) by the end of the 2017–2023 term, should he complete it.
