Biography

William Dallas Bynum (born June 26, 1846) was a Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives from Indiana. Representing Indiana’s 7th Congressional District, he served as a representative in Congress for a decade, from December 7, 1885, to March 3, 1895. Over the course of his tenure, Bynum completed five terms in the House, reflecting sustained electoral support within his district and a stable role within his party’s delegation.

During his years in office, Bynum served as a Democratic representative at a time when Indiana was an important political battleground state. Although specific committee assignments and leadership roles are not recorded in the available information, his continuous service from the Forty-ninth Congress through the early 1890s situates him within a period of significant national debates over economic policy, governance, and party realignment. After leaving Congress in 1895, he held the status of a former member, and no further official positions or public contact details are documented in the provided record.
