Indiana House of Representatives and 1990 U.S. Senate race
Hill was a member of the Indiana House of Representatives from 1982 to 1990.[2][5] Hill chaired the state House Democratic Caucus' Campaign Committee from 1985 to 1989,[6] and in that position helped Democrats win House elections and secure a majority.[5]
In 1990, as a state representative, Hill ran for the U.S. Senate in the 1990 special election to fill the last two years of Dan Quayle's term (Quayle had been elected Vice President). Hill attracted much attention (and earned media) during that race for walking the length of the state (from the Ohio River to Lake Michigan) to meet with voters.[5][7] Hill ultimately lost to Senator Dan Coats (who the governor had appointed to fill the vacancy), 54% to 46%—a smaller margin than expected.[7]
In 2001, Hill voted for the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB).[12] In 2008, Hill said that the law needed to be revamped, saying that he did not object to accountability for schools, but that the act infringed too much on local control and unrealistically required special needs children to meet standardized testing requirements.[13] Hill also said that the federal government had failed to provide an increase in federal school funding, as had been promised when NCLB was passed.[13]
Hill voted in 2002 to authorize the use of the military force against Iraq in 2002,[14] but criticized the George W. Bush administration's conduct of the reconstruction of Iraq.[15][16] In October 2003, Hill said that the 2003 invasion had been well-planned but the subsequent reconstruction had not: "The president did not plan well for winning the peace and for rebuilding the nation."[15][16] Hill blasted Bush's "go-it-alone" strategy and said that Bush had failed to obtain support from the international community, leading to huge U.S. expenditures that sapped away funding that could otherwise go to domestic priorities such as "homeland security, health care, education and debt reduction."[15][16]
In 2007, Hill—along with Representative Lee Terry of Nebraska, a Republican—introduced a measure seeking to increase Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards to between 32 mpg (7.4 L/100 km) and 35 mpg (6.7 L/100 km) by 2022.[17] The Hill-Terry proposal was more limited than a competing proposal introduced by Representative Edward J. Markey, Democrat of Massachusetts, and Representative Todd Russell Platts, Republican of Pennsylvania, which sought to raise CAFE standards for combined car-truck fleets to 35 mpg by 2018.[17] The Hill-Terry proposal was supported by the United Auto Workers.[17] and by industry groups such as the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers and National Association of Manufacturers,[18] while the Markey-Platts proposal was backed by the Sierra Club and other environmentalist groups.[17] The final energy bill was a compromise that mandated a 35 mpg CAFE standard by 2020.[19]
111th Congress (2009–2011): Energy and Commerce; Science and Technology.[26]
Campaigns
1998
Hill was elected to the House in November 1998. He defeated Republican Jean Leising, 51% to 48% and Libertarian Diane Merriam, 1%, winning the seat vacated by retiring 34-year incumbent Lee H. Hamilton.
2000
Hill was reelected in 2000, with 54 percent of the vote.
2002
Mike Sodrel, Hill's four-time Republican opponent
In 2002, Hill defeated Republican Mike Sodrel with 51 percent of the vote. Sodrel, a New Albany trucking company owner, had 46 percent.
2004
In November 2004, in a rematch, Hill lost to Sodrel by a razor-thin margin of about 1,500 votes (about a half of a percentage point). There was a recount following reports of voting irregularities, namely malfunctioning voting machines in at least three counties.[27][28] Hill gained only about two dozen votes in the recount, however, and conceded the election in early December 2004.[29]
Texas millionaire Bob J. Perry gave more than $5 million to the Economic Freedom Fund, a 527 group, which included Hill as one of its targets for removal. The group paid for automated "push poll" calls attacking Hill. Such calls were stopped after action by the Indiana Attorney General.[31]Cook Political Report rated the race as a toss-up.[32]
Hill won the 2006 election with 50% of the vote; Sodrel received 46% and Libertarian Eric Schansberg 4 percent.[33]
In 2008 Hill and Sodrel again fought for the 9th district. The race moved between Likely D to Lean D on the Cook Political Report.[35] Fund raising in 2008 had become more one-sided than in 2006, with Hill far ahead in the numbers game, according to reported income.[36]
Hill defeated Sodrel in the election, 58% to 39%.[37]
In 2011, after leaving Congress, Hill was hired by APCO Worldwide, "as a senior vice president in the company's government relations practice and a member of the firm's international advisory council."[44]
APCO represents a number of clients listed in Lobbying Disclosure Act filings.[45] In 2014, Hill left APCO to start his own solo lobbying firm, representing Cook Industries, a company located in his former district.[45]
Following an announcement by Senator Dan Coats that he would not seek reelection, however, Hill announced on May 15, 2015, that he would seek the open Senate seat as the Democratic nominee.[47] Democratic state Representative Christina Hale considered running for the seat as well,[47] but ultimately decided against it.[48]
Former Governor Evan Bayh, who from 1999 to 2011 served in the Senate in the same seat held by Coats, initially opted against joining the race.[49] Hill therefore ran unopposed for the Democratic nomination, setting up a rematch with Todd Young.[50] However, Hill withdrew from the general election on July 11, 2016, in favor of Bayh, who announced he was entering the race.[51] Young won the general election on November 8, 2016.
Personal life
Hill is married to Betty Hill (née Schepman), a public-school math teacher. They have three adult daughters.[5][52]
Hill is a Methodist[52] and a member of the First United Methodist Church in Seymour.[53]
