In this episode of Hold ’em Accountable, I sit down with Todd Shelton, Democratic candidate for Indiana State House District 25, to talk about what it actually feels like when factories close, wages stall, and communities are left behind—and what real leadership should look like in response.
Todd isn’t speaking from theory.
He worked at General Motors. He lived through a plant shutdown. He saw jobs shipped overseas and stepped up as a union committeeman to fight for working families who didn’t have a voice. That experience shaped everything that came next—military service, higher education through the GI Bill, teaching, and building a small business right here in Indiana.
This conversation dives into the real issues facing District 25 (Anderson, Alexandria, Pendleton, Atlanta) and communities across Indiana:
🔹 Job loss and economic recovery in working-class communities
🔹 Workforce training and bringing back good-paying jobs
🔹 Healthcare access and long wait times for Hoosiers
🔹 Public school funding and teacher support
🔹 Small business growth vs corporate advantage
🔹 What accountability in government should actually look like
This isn’t about party talking points.
It’s about whether Indiana is going to keep sending the same voices to the Statehouse—or start sending people who’ve actually lived the consequences of those decisions.
Todd Shelton is making the case that representation should come from experience, not distance.
Now the question is: will voters agree?
