Mayor Pete Buttigieg Statement on the Passing of Senator Birch Bayh
Mayor Pete Buttigieg released the following statement today after the passing of former U.S. Senator Birch Bayh:
"Birch Bayh was not afraid of the idea that upholding our Constitution includes amending it from time to time to strengthen our democracy. His bold ideas, from co-authoring the Equal Rights Amendment to lowering the voting age to 18 to passing Title IX, ensure that we are on a path towards guaranteeing equal opportunity for all Americans. He was one of the greatest Hoosiers ever to serve, a champion for equality, and an example for us all. My deepest sympathies to Evan, Susan, and the rest of the Bayh family today."
