Hamilton Southeastern (HSE) School Board President and Republican Juanita Albright has officially announced her run for Indiana Senate District 31.
Albright
Albright is running on a platform that focuses on lowering inflation and the high cost of living, championing fiscal responsibility, advocating for quality education, and promoting public safety.
The primary election will be held on May 5, 2026, and Albright is the only Republican candidate since current State Senator Kyle Walker announced he will not run again.
“My life has been defined by service over self, and that is why I became a doctor, ran for the HSE School Board, and it is why I am now running for the Indiana Senate,” Albright said. “I have received an outpouring of support and encouragement already from people all over the district.”
Dr. Albright grew up in Indiana, living in a rural community where education beyond high school was atypical. Despite the cultural differences and obstacles, she set out to obtain the highest education possible and set her sights on becoming a doctor by the time she was in the seventh grade.
Dr. Albright has practiced medicine and lived in Fishers for over 20 years, along with her husband, Eric, a pediatric pathologist. They have three children, all of whom graduated from Fishers High School and currently attend Taylor and IWU.
When asked why she is choosing to run for the Indiana Senate, Dr. Albright said, “We need a fresh voice in the state senate promoting fiscal responsibility and public safety. With my experience on the school board and decades in healthcare, I am used to tackling tough problems and finding creative solutions, and I plan to do the same at the statehouse.”
