Richard Chew is joined by Indiana Democratic State Rep. Matt Pierce. He represents Indiana House District 61, which covers most of Bloomington. He also serves as the assistant Democratic floor leader.

Pierce discussed the ongoing battle over Republican-led redistricting in Indiana, highlighting both the Democratic caucus's efforts to oppose it and the Trump administration's influence on Republican lawmakers. He noted that while most elected Indiana Republicans support redistricting, a few are hesitant. Polling shows a majority of Hoosiers oppose the redistricting. Pierce emphasized the importance of local elections, particularly in Hamilton County and Bloomington, to break the Republican supermajority and gain leverage in state politics.
