“We are very excited to bring Hoosiers this special edition of All INdiana Politics during this important political season,” said Carl.  “In particular, this broadcast aims to provide viewers bi-partisan perspective on key national and local issues facing the electorate.  It’s our goal to empower voters with the information they need to cast their ballots decisively.”

In addition to national perspective, local contributors John Zody, Indiana Democratic Party chair, and Republican strategist Pete Seat, former communications manager for the Indiana Republican Party and White House press staffer, will offer localized insight and response to the issues discussed.  Zody and Seat will also address statewide races, Indiana election law, and how Hoosiers can work to bridge the ever-widening partisan gap at both the state and national level.
