The race for who will be the next State Senator representing District 31 is closer than one might think, according to poll released this month conducted by Change Research.
Walker
Vare
The district includes all of Fishers, parts of Noblesville, and portions of Indianapolis’ northeast side. Republican Kyle Walker currently holds the seat.
The poll of 552 likely voters within the district shows that Walker is statistically tied with his Democratic challenger Jocelyn Vare, who currently serves on the Fishers City Council. Vare currently enjoys support 41 percent of voters while Walker has 39 percent. Undecided voters make up 19 percent of those polled. The margin of error is 4.7 percent.
What will make the race interesting is the fact that neither candidate is well-known within the district; 58 percent of the poll’s respondents say they’ve never heard of either candidate. However, Vare’s net favorability among those who do have an opinion is 7 points up, which leaves Walker at a 7-point favorability deficit.
The results of the poll also show that Vare is outperforming President Biden’s 2020 numbers within a district that voted for President Trump.

Walker did not vote for Constitutional Carry and supports abortion through 1st trimester, no wonder Republicans are not excited, I won’t be surprised to see Vare get an upset here. Neither get my Vote!
