Baron Hill says Hoosiers deserve access to their candidates, which is why he's challenging his opponents - Republican Todd Young and Libertarian Lucy Brenton - to a series of four debates and five town hall meetings.

Among those recommendations - not allowing companies to deduct costs of moving jobs overseas from their federal taxes.

Republican Todd Young and Democrat Baron Hill won their respective primaries for Indiana's open U.S. Senate seat Tuesday.

Republican U.S. Senate candidates Marlin Stutzman and Todd Young met Monday for their first and only televised debate before the May 3 primary.

The endorsement comes about a month before Young will face off against 3rd District Rep. Marlin Stutzman in May's primary.

Former Indiana Republican Party chairman Eric Holcomb is dropping out of the race for the U.S. Senate.

"Unfortunately, despite the hard work of my team and our supporters, we have not broken through with our fundraising efforts," the Democrat said in a statement.

The three Republican candidates for Indiana's open U.S. Senate seat met here for their first debate Saturday.

From October to December, Young raised $749,163 - the second-highest total ever for a non-incumbent senator in Indiana for an off-year, according to Young's campaign manager, Trevor Foughty.

John Dickerson, a longtime advocate for those with intellectual and developmental disabilities, announced Saturday he will join the Democratic primary.
