Indiana’s 4th Congressional District isn’t simple—and it’s not easy to win.
From Purdue’s research economy in Lafayette to the rural farm communities of Carroll and Clinton counties, to the fast-growing suburbs like Avon, Plainfield, and Zionsville—this district demands a candidate who can connect across every line.
In this episode of Hold ’em Accountable, we sit down with Paul McPherson, a Democratic candidate bringing a unique mix of experience: farming, manufacturing, engineering, and education.
So what makes his campaign different?
This conversation dives into the real issues shaping Indiana’s 4th District:
🌾 The future of family farms and rising land costs
🏥 Rural hospital closures and healthcare access
📡 The broadband gap still impacting rural communities
🏗️ Infrastructure investment and taxpayer accountability
🎓 Keeping Purdue and Indiana graduates in-state
🤝 Bridging the political divide in a red-leaning district
McPherson makes a clear case for a more balanced, results-driven approach—positioning himself as someone willing to meet in the middle while still pushing for real solutions.
He also lays out a strategy that goes beyond ads and headlines:
Knocking on doors, showing up in small towns, and building trust the old-fashioned way.
Then we put him through the ultimate test—Hold ’em or Fold ’em—our rapid-fire round where candidates take clear, no-spin positions on the issues:
✔️ Healthcare as a human right
✔️ Raising the minimum wage
✔️ Union protections
✔️ Clean energy investment
✔️ Gun safety
✔️ Housing affordability

This isn’t about party talking points.
This is about accountability, real conversations, and giving voters direct access to the people asking for their vote.
