When I look at Indiana’s 24th District, I don’t see a place standing still. I see a community growing in real time. New neighborhoods rising next to cornfields. Schools expanding faster than their budgets. Families trying to keep up with a region that’s changing right in front of them.
That’s exactly why this conversation matters.
In this episode of Hold ’em Accountable, I sit down with Racheal Bleicher, a Democratic candidate for Indiana House District 24, covering Westfield, Sheridan, and parts of Carmel and Boone County. Rachel isn’t a career politician. She’s a mother, a business leader, and someone who moved here for the same reasons so many Hoosier families do: strong schools, safe neighborhoods, and a real sense of community.
But what stood out to me wasn’t just her background, it was her perspective on what’s happening in this district right now.
We talk about growth, not just the kind you measure in new housing developments, but the kind that puts pressure on infrastructure, schools, and affordability. We get into childcare costs, housing access, public school funding, and what it really means to use taxpayer dollars responsibly. And we don’t avoid the bigger question either: what does effective leadership actually look like in a fast-changing suburban district?
Rachel makes it clear she’s running because she felt unheard. And whether you agree with her or not, that feeling is something I hear from voters all across Indiana.
At the end of the day, this isn’t just about one race. It’s about whether communities like District 24 get representation that reflects their reality.
So let’s get into it.
