Jim Baird has a doctorate, two Purdue degrees, a seat on the Science Committee and a co-chairmanship of the R&D Caucus. Purdue is in his district. When Washington started cancelling research grants, he called it long overdue — and in April 2026 he celebrated the shutdown of the USDA's flagship research center because Purdue picked up a piece of it.
Her evidence was one bicycle factory in Seymour. A new University of Illinois study says 2025's tariffs cost the average Hoosier household $2,600, cut $2.65 billion from Indiana's economy, and wiped out 9,148 manufacturing jobs.
H.R. 5629 would wipe out the 2024 rule letting methadone patients take doses home and start treatment by telehealth. It has zero cosponsors. Addiction medicine groups say it would mean more overdose deaths.

In 2023 he campaigned for mayor on banning assault weapons in Indianapolis, restoring its concealed-carry permit requirement and raising the buying age to 21. The NRA gave him an F and warned voters he was faking an A rating. Then he won a red seat — and signed on to a bill overriding gun permit laws nationwide.
Soybeans alone cost Indiana $347 million in lost exports in one year. Stutzman called the tariffs a matter of other countries realizing 'they need us as a partner' — and, after the Supreme Court threw the tariffs out, told Bloomberg the ruling was not good for Indiana farmers and that he would be happy to help the president.
Stutzman said fouls on Caitlin Clark could be 'assault,' warned that 'the authorities need to step in,' and floated a congressional committee investigating a basketball league. The Indiana Fever said they never asked for any of it.
Stutzman asked Israel's ambassador whether his plan was a direction 'you guys would be comfortable with,' put a draft in front of Netanyahu in Jerusalem, and introduced it in the House a week later — attaching Netanyahu's letter of support to his own press release.
