The Open Seat is for the voter who reads past the headline. The constituent who wants to know why the bill they supported died in committee. The Hoosier who suspects there's more going on at the Statehouse than what gets reported — and wants someone who was actually there to explain it. Subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts.

    The Unapologetic Democrat

    In this episode, host Andrew Dezelan sits down with Erin Petrey, a progressive Democrat running in Kentucky's 6th Congressional District — the seat currently held by Republican Andy Barr. Erin is a Kentucky native who grew up on a farm in Lawrenceburg, earned her master's degree in diplomacy from George Washington University, taught school in South Korea, and has built a career spanning renewable energy infrastructure, international diplomacy, and community healthcare development. She's running without corporate PAC money on a platform focused on clean energy, affordability, and protecting the programs Kentucky families depend on — including Medicaid and SNAP. Andrew and Erin compare notes on what it means to be a practitioner running for office, why real-world experience matters more than political pedigree, and what it actually feels like to be in the middle of a campaign.
