State Representative Mike Andrade

What does it mean to be a State Representative? Or as Mike would simply say- a Public Servant.  We discuss his role for Munster and neighboring communities as our voice in the State House. He talks about his reasoning for running in 2020 and what passions keep him involved and seeking  reelection in 2024. This podcast was started for several little reasons but the main goal and focus has been to increase communication and show even when disagreeing we can talk to find common ground-  This is what Mike is doing for us in Indianapolis, we touch on what it’s like for a Democrat in a Super Majority Republican State and how finding the common sense, common ground through communication is key.  I look forward to a more in depth at length discussion down the road but I am immensely grateful for the time he took off the campaign trail to meet with today.

Scott Spencer

Yet another great conversation as I wrap up the School Board candidate episodes. Scott and I sat down for an engaging and enlightening conversation, I learned his background and what experience he's looking to bring to the table. It was comforting to sit down with all candidates to be assured Munster is in good hands. There are 5 candidates and 3 seats open, I suggest everyone try and engage with all 5 and make the most informed decision possible. The School Board is responsible for policy and long term strategy so reach out the the candidates and see what plans align with your hopes for the future.

Johnny Craig

I had a wonderful time getting to know Johnny Craig and I believe if you listen to this episode you will too. Johnny and I discuss his  years in the education sector, his active role in Munster Sports/Extracurricular activities and much more.  This episode is #3 of 4 introducing the school board candidates and it’s great to hear the passion and dedication of all I’ve sat down with so far. The final episode will air next week.

Amy Sinder

It was such a delight sitting down with Amy today and getting to know her more. Amy is 1 of the 5 school board candidates in this upcoming November election. We spoke on the current highlights of the STM and if given the opportunity the things she would like to see enhanced. Thank you once again for your time and for putting yourself out there in order to serve the community.

Dr. Ingrid Schwarz Wolf and John Castro

This November 3 of the 5 School Board seats will be up for election and my goal is to introduce and highlight each candidate. On the kickoff for Season 2 I had the pleasure of sitting down with two current STM board members. Ingrid and John have both recently launched re-election campaigns for their spots on the school board. As sitting members they provided a glimpse into what the school board is all about. We spoke about why they first ran 8 years ago and why they are compelled to keep serving Munster by seeking re-election. Id like to thank both of them again for their time and their commitment to Munster!
