She works on the front lines of a broken system and now she wants to fix it from the inside.
Kirsten Root is a licensed social worker running for Indiana State Senate District 21, covering Westfield, Kokomo, and Tipton County. In this conversation, she talks about why the people quietly switching parties won't say it out loud, why SCA 1 hurt working families while corporations saved thousands, and what it actually means to be pro-life in a state with maternal health deserts.
She's also pro-Second Amendment, grew up in rural La Porte County, and has no interest in telling you what you want to hear.
