Indiana’s 29th District is changing fast. I’ve watched it grow from the edges of Indianapolis through places like Zionsville, West Clay, and down into Claremont. New neighborhoods are rising, schools are stretching to keep up, and families are starting to ask a simple but important question… is our quality of life keeping pace with the growth around us?
That’s the backdrop for this conversation.
In this episode, I sit down with Kristina Moorhead, a Democratic candidate for Indiana State Senate District 29, to talk about what that growth really means and who gets a say in shaping it.
We dig into the real pressure points people are feeling across the district. Infrastructure that hasn’t caught up. Schools facing enrollment challenges and funding gaps. Property taxes that continue to rise. And the broader tension between state decisions and local control.
Kristina brings a policy-heavy perspective, especially on healthcare and Medicaid, but also speaks to the lived reality of families trying to navigate rising costs, childcare, and access to care. We talk about everything from expanding the Healthy Indiana Plan to rethinking high deductible insurance models that leave families one emergency away from financial strain.
We also get into what it actually takes to pass legislation in a Republican-controlled State Senate. What issues can bring people together? Where does compromise work, and where does it break down?
And of course, we close it out the only way we do… with Hold ’em or Fold ’em. No long speeches. No dodging. Just clear answers.
This is what this show is about.
Not telling you what to think.
Giving you the chance to hear directly from the people asking for your vote.
Because in a district like this one, where growth is constant and pressure is real, representation isn’t abstract… it’s personal.
So stay informed, ask questions, and as always—hold ’em accountable.
