Floyd Taylor Wants Voters to Call the Shots

Floyd Taylor, independent candidate for Indiana’s 9th Congressional District, returns to Hold ’em Accountable with one of the most unconventional campaign ideas in Indiana politics: what if voters directly controlled how their member of Congress voted?Floyd is not running as a Democrat, Republican, or Libertarian. His campaign is built around direct representation, radical transparency, rejecting PAC money, and using technology to give residents of Indiana’s 9th District a stronger voice in Washington.At the center of his campaign is the Congress app, a proposal that would allow voters to review legislation, weigh in on bills, submit problems, request new proposals, and help direct how he votes in Congress.We discuss:• Floyd Taylor’s independent campaign• Indiana’s 9th Congressional District• The Congress app and direct representation• Whether voters should control congressional votes• Radical transparency in Congress• Rejecting PAC money and major donors• The two-party system and “wasted vote” arguments• Rural voters feeling ignored by Washington• Healthcare access for every American• NSWC Crane and local economic development• Lobbyists, accountability, and public records• What representation should mean in 2026Floyd says his platform is simple: “You tell me what to do.” He argues that he is only one person in a district of hundreds of thousands, and that voters deserve more than a representative who disappears into Washington and asks for trust every two years.Whether you agree with Floyd Taylor or think the idea sounds impossible, his campaign raises a question worth asking:Should voters have more direct power over the decisions made in their name?No spin. No talking points. Just receipts.You can also ask Alexa to play Hold ’em Accountable with Derrick Holder.#FloydTaylor #IndianaPolitics #IndianaCD9 #IndependentCandidate #HoldEmAccountable
