Indiana consistently ranks at or near the bottom nationally in voter turnout. Despite high registration numbers, many Hoosiers simply don’t cast ballots when Election Day arrives. Why does this gap exist—and what can be done about it?

Those are among the questions ReCenter Indiana is working to address. The nonprofit group focuses on strengthening civic engagement and exploring ways to improve the state’s political landscape.

In this podcast, ReCenter Indiana Board President Don Knebel joins Larry to discuss the organization’s mission and priorities. Also featured is Jocelyn Vare, a longtime Fishers resident and former local Democratic leader, who was recently appointed as ReCenter’s first executive director. Vare also responds to criticism from some Republicans who argue she is too partisan to lead a centrist organization.
