Avalanche of Democracy: Filing Day Live Special

Candidates from across Indiana descended on the state capitol today in a show of force and solidarity. What might have been a routine paperwork transaction became a show of progressive potential.

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, weโ€™re building this plane in mid-air because the information canโ€™t wait. If you canโ€™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.
