Senator Todd Young (R-Ind.) took part in a Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) event on the future of American technology leadership. The event, held in Washington, focused on how federal policies can help secure critical supply chains, modernize the nation’s industrial base, and ensure the United States remains competitive with China in technology.
During the discussion, participants addressed how government actions could strengthen U.S. positions in global technology sectors. Senator Young has been active on related issues as a member of several Senate committees, including Finance; Commerce, Science and Transportation; Small Business and Entrepreneurship; and Intelligence. His work is detailed on his official website.
Young has represented Indiana in the Senate since 2017 and maintains offices across several locations in the state, such as Indianapolis, New Albany, Fort Wayne, and Valparaiso (source). He has supported legislation to increase domestic semiconductor manufacturing, including sponsoring the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 (source). This law aims to improve U.S. supply chains and bolster technological capabilities.
According to his official biography, Young holds degrees from institutions like the U.S. Naval Academy, University of Chicago, University of London, and Indiana University (source). He served as a U.S. Marine Corps officer before entering politics.
