In this episode of Hold ’em Accountable, I sit down with Scott Houldieson, Democratic candidate for Indiana State Senate District 1, covering Lake County communities like Highland, Griffith, Schererville, and St. John.

We break down the real issues facing Northwest Indiana: rising costs, stagnant wages, property taxes, infrastructure challenges, public school funding, and access to affordable healthcare.

Scott, a longtime United Auto Workers (UAW) member and community advocate, shares his perspective on working-class struggles, corporate influence in state government, and what it means to put people over profits in Indiana politics.

We also discuss environmental protection, union jobs, local control, and the future of economic development in one of Indiana’s most industrial and rapidly evolving regions.

If you care about Indiana politics, labor rights, local elections, or how state decisions impact working families, this is a must-watch interview.

📍 Northwest Indiana is at a crossroads. The question is: who is fighting for working families?
