Each month, we’re joined by a special guest, and this month we’re thrilled to welcome Dave Crooks, the 8th District Chairman for the Indiana Democratic Party. Dave served 12 years as State Representative in District 63, a seat later held by Republicans Mark Messmer and Mike Braun. He was also the Democratic nominee for Congress in 2012, running in one of the most competitive races in the district's recent history. Dave recently wrapped up a 44-year career in broadcasting and is now focused on strengthening the Democratic brand across Indiana. He and his wife Shelley live just west of Brazil, Indiana.
