Todd has work at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative public policy think-tank, and has served as energy policy adviser in the U.S. Senate.

Todd is an active volunteer in his community and a devoted husband to his wife Jenny. The Youngs are members of Sherwood Oaks Christian Church in Bloomington. Todd also serves on the Board of Directors for a local pro-life ministry.
Jenny gave birth to twins in March of 2010. The Young now have three daughters, Abigail, Ava, and Annalise, and a son, Tucker.
Mike Sodrel is pretty much considered a shoo-in for IN 9.
