The Democratic National Committee announced Tuesday that Indiana is one of 11 new states getting money through a competitive grant program.

DNC Chair Tom Perez says it will fund grassroots efforts across the state – a response to what he saw as the party’s failed hands-off approach in past elections. WFYI’s Drew Daudelin sat down with Perez to talk about what Democrats hope to achieve.
