Rent Free With Kory Amyx; Guest: Veronica Pejril, President of Indiana Stonewall Democrats

Tonight on Rent Free, Kory sits down with Veronica Pejril for a wide-ranging conversation about Indiana politics, LGBTQ advocacy, local government, and what it actually means to build a political coalition big enough to win. Veronica talks about life and government in Greencastle and Putnam County, what she has learned from serving in local office, and why Democrats cannot afford to write off rural Indiana. The conversation also gets inside Indiana Stonewall Democrats’ endorsement process, including what candidates are asked, what earns support, how limited campaign resources are allocated, and whether political viability should matter alongside shared values. From there, the discussion turns to the Indiana Statehouse, upcoming races, representation, persuasion, and Veronica’s call for a genuinely “big, welcoming tent.” How much disagreement can a coalition tolerate? Where is the line between compromise and abandoning your principles? Are Democrats actually talking to independents, moderates, rural voters, and disaffected Republicans, or just talking to themselves? They also tackle some of the harder conversations surrounding LGBTQ politics, transgender Hoosiers, political messaging, purity tests, religious and ideological disagreement, and how advocates reach people who have sincere questions instead of simply preaching to people who already agree. This is not a ninety-minute campaign commercial. It is a conversation about governing, winning, losing, persuading, listening, and whether Indiana can create room for people who may not agree on everything but still have to live together. Life. Liberty. The pursuit of happiness. And the question underneath all of it: When we say those things belong to everyone, do we actually mean everyone? #RentFree #VeronicaPejril #IndianaPolitics #IndianaStonewallDemocrats #LGBTQIndiana #LGBTQRights #GreencastleIndiana #PutnamCounty #IndianaDemocrats #IndianaStatehouse #RuralIndiana #PoliticalPodcast #BigTentPolitics #HoosierPolitics #LocalGovernment #PoliticalPersuasion #TransgenderRights #IndianaElections #Democracy #PodcastInterview 🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?
