Born 24 February 1984, South Bend
The tie, exactly: resident — on the official record of the office itself, which is the only strength this section prints for a living officeholder. His House biography states that "Rudy and his wife Sallyann currently live in Granger," where they are raising their three children; the Clerk of the U.S. House lists his hometown as Granger. The same official biography states the other half of the tie with equal plainness: "A fourth-generation Hoosier, Rudy was born and raised in South Bend." Both halves stand; he is entered as Granger's resident and South Bend's native son, and neither fact is allowed to eat the other.
The course: Rudolph Chester Yakym III, born 24 February 1984, took degrees at Indiana University South Bend (A.S. 2009, B.S. 2011) and a Notre Dame M.B.A. in 2019, worked on Representative Jackie Walorski's staff, sat on the Indiana judicial nominating commission, and from 2019 was director of growth initiatives at Kem Krest. On Walorski's death he won the special election of 8 November 2022 for Indiana's 2nd congressional district and has held the seat since, serving on the House Ways and Means Committee. His worship line belongs to the Religion section's ground — his official biography places his congregation in Osceola — and is noted here only to keep the seats straight.
