Big thanks to Derrick Holder for anchoring our statehouse coverage. Lessons learned with the poor audio quality at the capitol building itself- we blame the electricity in the air. But seriously, we’re building this plane in mid-air because the information can’t wait. If you can’t get through that part, we understand. There are still HOURS of important conversations with candidate from across Indiana, plus lots of historical perspective from our resident curmudgeons.
