In this episode of Hold Them Accountable, I sit down with David Boyd, a Democratic candidate running for U.S. Congress in Indiana’s 6th Congressional District (IN-06). This district covers a large and diverse region of Indiana including the south side of Indianapolis, Columbus, Shelbyville, Madison, and many rural counties across southeastern Indiana.

During this conversation, we break down the issues voters across the district are talking about most: rural healthcare access, broadband expansion, economic opportunity, manufacturing jobs, agriculture policy, infrastructure investment, and the rising cost of living. Boyd shares his perspective on how federal policy decisions in Washington directly affect Hoosiers at home.

We discuss the challenges facing rural hospitals in Indiana, the impact of Medicaid funding cuts, and what Congress can do to prevent hospital closures that force families to drive hours for care. Boyd also talks about strengthening union jobs, protecting family farms from corporate consolidation, expanding rural broadband access, and making sure federal infrastructure dollars actually reach communities instead of getting trapped in political bureaucracy.

Another major focus of the conversation is economic pressure on working families, including housing costs, grocery prices, tariffs, and proposals like price controls and stronger antitrust enforcement to protect consumers and small businesses.

We also discuss veterans services, VA staffing shortages, campaign transparency, congressional stock trading bans, and restoring trust in government through regular town halls and direct accountability to voters.

If you follow Indiana politics, U.S. elections, congressional races, rural policy, or working-class economic issues, this interview offers a direct look at one of the candidates seeking to represent Indiana’s 6th District in Congress.

Stay informed. Ask questions. And as always…

Hold them accountable.
