Perhaps the most decorated Democrat ever to serve Indiana in Congress – Birch Bayh – has passed away.
He left a legacy for other Democrats – including Lafayette Mayor Tony Roswarski – to follow, but is that sort of progressivism waning? Mayor Roswarski describes himself as a conservative Democrat, and he doesn’t have a challenger as he pursues a fifth term in office in this year’s race, which would seem to indicate popularity.
We inquire about the way forward for Democrats in Indiana this week on WBAA’s Ask The Mayor.
