‘Sense of betrayal’: Indiana Republican censured over same-sex marriage vote
By Cami Mondeaux • Washington Examiner • December 9, 2022
A group of Indiana Republicans drafted a censure letter and sent it to Sen. Todd Young (R-IN) after he voted in favor of passing a bill that would codify same-sex marriage into federal law.
The Cass County Republican Party censured the Indiana senator in a letter that was sent on Thursday, expressing disappointment in Young’s support for the legislation and citing a “sense of betrayal.” Although a censure does not remove a senator from office, the letter acts as a statement of disapproval and can affect one’s standing or reputation.

“It does not bring pleasure nor eagerness to write to you this evening,” Cass County Republican Chairman David Richey wrote in an email. “Cass County Republicans felt that waiting until the next election cycle to share how upset they were would not accomplish anything and therefore chose to write this letter of Censure to Sen. Young.”
