Most political consultants would say not to run here.
District 55 in Indiana has gone 80 percent Republican for years and hasn’t seen a real Democratic challenge in nearly a decade.
But candidate Victoria Martz is doing something different.
Instead of chasing party approval or big money, she’s building a grassroots campaign focused on listening to voters and showing up where politicians usually don’t.
In this episode we break down:
- Why Democrats must contest every seat
- What rural voters actually say when you knock doors
- Why listening is the most underrated campaign strategy
- How to run when the party says you can’t win
If you want a real look at what grassroots politics looks like, this conversation is for you.
