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.

Young was one of 12 Senate Republicans to approve the legislation, joining Sens. Roy Blunt , Richard Burr , Shelley Moore Capito , Susan Collins , Joni Ernst , Cynthia Lummis , Lisa Murkowski , Rob Portman , Mitt Romney , Dan Sullivan , and Thom Tillis . “Your decision elicited feelings of anger, disbelief and even a sense of betrayal,” the Cass County Republican Party wrote in its censure letter. “We are not just fiscal conservatives, but social conservatives as well. Your opinion piece in the Indianapolis Star on November 30 only confirmed our concerns that you have departed from the deeply held views of the vast majority of your fellow Hoosiers.

“The Republican party of Indiana endorsed your running as a Republican Senator from our great state with the belief that we could entrust you with representing our values,” they wrote. “On this matter , you had previously stated that you felt matters like this were best handled by the States, not in the Federal venue. Now we find — right after we endorsed and voted for you in November — that you’ve changed your mind.
