If you live in District 29, you already feel it.
Not just the traffic. Not just the construction. Not just the kind of growth that shows up in headlines before it shows up in a real plan. You feel something deeper than that.
Decisions are being made about you, not with you.
And that’s the tension sitting underneath everything right now. Because this district sits right at the intersection of rapid suburban expansion and long-standing communities that built their identity long before the boom. The question isn’t whether change is happening. It’s who that change is actually working for… and who ends up paying the price.
In this conversation, I sat down with Rev. David Greene, Sr. to cut through the usual noise and get into the real issues.
We talked about growth, but not the kind politicians like to brag about. The kind that clogs your commute, pressures your schools, raises your property taxes, and quietly reshapes your community without asking permission first.
We talked about what it actually means to have “smart growth without sacrifice.” Whether developers should be required to pay for the strain they create. And why too often, families end up footing the bill after the fact.
We got into public education, where strong schools are now being stretched by enrollment, policy shifts, and funding instability. Into property taxes and insurance costs, where even people doing everything right are starting to feel squeezed out of their own homes.
And then there’s Eagle Creek. Not just a landmark, but a lifeline. A resource that raises a bigger question: are we protecting what matters, or gambling with it?
What stood out to me in this conversation is that none of these issues exist in isolation. They’re all connected. Growth. Infrastructure. Schools. Taxes. Quality of life. Pull one thread, and the rest start to move.
That’s why this race matters.
Because in 2026, your vote isn’t just a preference. It’s a receipt.
It’s your way of saying whether the people making decisions are actually accountable to you… or just operating above you.
So wherever you are in District 29, West Clay, Zionsville, Traders Point, Eagle Creek, Clermont, Chapel Hill, this conversation is about you.
Not politics for the sake of politics.
But what your everyday life looks like moving forward.
Stay informed. Ask better questions. And as always… hold ’em accountable.
