What happens when someone who’s actually lived the struggle steps into politics?

In this episode of Hold ’em Accountable, I sit down with Jack Chance, Democratic candidate for Indiana House District 30, covering Kokomo, Greentown, Swayze, and surrounding communities.

This isn’t a polished political pitch. This is a real conversation about what working-class Hoosiers are dealing with right now—and why so many feel like the system isn’t built for them anymore.

Jack Chance isn’t a career politician. He’s worked fast food, loaded docks, welded metal, managed housing, and spent years helping families on the edge of losing everything. Now, he’s stepping up to run for office with a focus on housing affordability, labor rights, healthcare access, and economic dignity.

We break down the issues that matter most in Indiana’s 30th District:

🔹 Rising housing costs and why the “free market” isn’t so free
🔹 Union jobs, right-to-work laws, and the future of manufacturing in Kokomo
🔹 The EV transition and protecting Hoosier workers
🔹 Rural neglect—why small towns like Greentown and Swayze keep getting left behind
🔹 Public education funding and the fight over school vouchers
🔹 Healthcare access, addiction, and the real cost of economic despair
🔹 Utility costs, corporate profits, and who’s really paying the price

We also put Jack through the Hold ’em or Fold ’em round—rapid-fire questions that cut through the talking points and get straight to where he stands.

This conversation is about more than one candidate.

It’s about whether working-class voices still have a path to representation in Indiana—and what happens when someone decides to stop managing the damage and start challenging the system itself.

📍 If you live in Kokomo, Howard County, Grant County, or anywhere in Indiana, this is your conversation too.

Do you think the system is working for working families—or against them?
