On August 11, Young recognized the achievements of a local youth sports team, stating, "Congrats to the incredible team from Floyds Knobs on an amazing run in the Little League Softball World Series. You made Hoosiers proud."

Later that day, Young addressed public health and safety issues related to drug use. He wrote on August 11, "Drug overdoses have been decreasing, but more can be done to reduce fentanyl’s impact on our communities. We’re working to give law enforcement officials more tools to better protect Hoosiers and combat the flow of this deadly drug." Recent data has shown some progress in reducing overdose deaths nationwide; however, fentanyl remains a leading cause of drug-related fatalities across the United States.

On August 13, Young reported from overseas regarding security cooperation efforts.

The situation demonstrated the professionalism of Filipinos and the reckless behavior of China." Tensions between China and other nations in Southeast Asia over maritime incidents have been ongoing for years, with recent events drawing increased international attention.

Senator Todd Young serves as one of Indiana's representatives in the U.S. Senate and is known for his involvement in foreign affairs as well as domestic policy issues such as public health and community engagement.
