In this in-depth candidate interview, I sit down with Nate Stout to explore what real representation looks like in Indiana’s District 38 and why local politics matter more than most people realize. At a time when voters feel disconnected from government, this conversation cuts through the noise to focus on accountability, history, and practical solutions for Hoosiers.
Nate Stout discusses the unique challenges facing rural and suburban communities across Indiana, including education funding, rural healthcare access, infrastructure, and economic development. From underfunded public schools to hospital deserts and broadband gaps, this interview examines how state-level decisions directly shape everyday life. If you’ve ever wondered why society works the way it does or how it could work better, this conversation provides essential context.
Education policy takes center stage as Stout explains his vision for flexible public school funding that allows local communities to meet their own needs. The discussion also dives into rural healthcare reform, mental health services, and addiction recovery, issues that disproportionately affect small towns and working families across Indiana.
Economic growth and job creation are another major focus, with an emphasis on entrepreneurship, remote work opportunities, and revitalizing rural economies without leaving communities behind. Stout also outlines his approach to infrastructure investment, including roads, water systems, and broadband expansion, as well as his commitment to direct community engagement and constituent accountability.
This interview is part of the ongoing mission of Hold ’em Accountable to elevate informed

Whether you’re an Indiana voter, a political history enthusiast, or someone searching for honest discussions about how to fix what’s broken, this episode is for you.
