Todd Young's sweet spot in the Senate

• Pennsylvania's Pat Toomey had occupied the sweet seat since 2015.

Taste of play: It's in the back row on the Republican side of the chamber — next to the chamber's most heavily used entrance — making the occupant a Red Hot commodity.

• Young is actually the second Hoosier to serve as the Senate's "candy man." Richard Lugar also had the distinction.

Yum, but: While the desk is located on the Republican side of the chamber, having a sweet tooth cuts across party lines and the treats are available to any member who needs a fix.

What they're eating: Per tradition, the desk will be stocked with treats donated by confectioners from the presiding senator's state. Indiana candy will include:

• Gummies from Albanese Confectionery Group in Merrillville

• Milk chocolate from DeBrand Fine Chocolates in Fort Wayne
• Red Hots from Schimpff's Confectionary in Jeffersonville
• Toxic Waste from New Albany Sugar Shoppe
• Sour Punch Straws from The Sweet Tooth in Munster
• Caramels from Kraft in Kendallville
• Jumbo jelly beans and chocolate covered jelly beans from the Wakarusa Dime Store
• Buckeyes from Mr. Fudge's Confectionary in Metamora
• Mini chocolate bars from Endangered Species Chocolate in Indianapolis
• Rock crystal candy sticks from Squire Boone Village in New Albany
