The 2004 United States Senate election in Indiana was held on November 2, 2004. Incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Evan Bayh won re-election to a second term.

Major candidates

Democratic

Evan Bayh, incumbent U.S. Senator

Republican

Marvin Scott, Professor at Butler University

Campaign

In September, Bayh had $6.5 million cash on hand.^[1] Scott's strategy of trying to paint Bayh as too liberal failed to gain traction.^[2] Bayh was viewed early in 2004 as a serious vice presidential candidate for John Kerry. Bayh was on the final shortlist for a Kerry running mate, but North Carolina Senator John Edwards was chosen as Kerry's running mate.
