In this episode of Hold Them Accountable, I sit down with Dr. Cinde Wirth, a Democratic candidate for Indiana’s 6th Congressional District, to talk about the real issues facing Hoosiers across Columbus, Shelbyville, Madison, the south side of Indianapolis, and rural communities across central and eastern Indiana.

This conversation goes beyond political talking points. We discuss what everyday life actually looks like for families in Indiana right now: rising healthcare costs, wage stagnation, housing affordability, prescription drug prices, childcare costs, and the pressure many working families feel just trying to stay afloat. As a scientist, teacher, business owner, and former Congressional Legislative Fellow, Dr. Wirth brings a unique perspective on how federal policy is written in Washington and how it impacts real communities back home.

We also dive into major policy issues shaping the 2026 election cycle, including universal healthcare, rural hospital closures, education funding, corporate accountability, campaign finance reform, reproductive rights, immigration policy, and infrastructure investments like rural broadband and transportation funding.

Indiana’s 6th District is one of the most politically challenging districts for Democrats, but conversations like this matter because democracy works best when voters hear directly from the candidates asking for their trust.

If you live in Indiana, follow U.S. politics, care about economic policy, healthcare reform, or want to understand why society works the way it does and how it can be improved, this interview is for you.

Watch the full conversation and decide for yourself.

Stay informed. Ask questions. Hold them accountable.
