Born 29 September 1955, Massapequa, New York
The tie, exactly: resident — documented across his whole public career and after it. The standard biographical record gives it plainly: Donnelly and his wife Jill "reside in Granger, Indiana." Indiana Public Media, reporting in July 2024, spoke with him "from his home in Granger, Ind."; and the Indiana Democratic Party's release the same month records that after stepping down as ambassador he "returned to his family home in Granger, Ind." A profile in Indianapolis Monthly during his Senate term calls him, in passing and without argument, "a Granger guy." He was born on Long Island and educated at Notre Dame (bachelor's and law degrees); the Granger home is the chosen fact, and it is the tie this band prints.
The course: Joseph Simon Donnelly Sr. practiced law in South Bend and helped run a small business in Mishawaka before his election to the U.S. House of Representatives for Indiana's 2nd district (2007–2013). Elected to the United States Senate in 2012, he served 2013–2019, losing re-election in 2018; Notre Dame then made him a professor in its Keough School of Global Affairs. President Biden nominated him Ambassador to the Holy See; he served from 11 April 2022 to 8 July 2024, and came home to Granger. The offices are Indiana's and the nation's; the address the record keeps returning to is this CDP's.
