A Special Session on Redistricting
October 31, 2025
Governor Braun calls a special session to redraw congressional maps in favor of Republicans, though it remains unclear if the GOP can muster the votes. A freeze on new childcare vouchers will be in place for at least one year with 31,000 children on the waitlist for low-income, working families. The Lieutenant Governor campaigns door-to-door against an Avon school referendum. Interim host Jon Schwantes is joined by Democrat Ann DeLaney, Republican Mike O’Brien, Ebony Chappel of Free Press Indiana, and Jill Sheridan of WFYI Public Media to debate and discuss this week’s top stories.
