Hamilton Southeastern (HSE) School Board President and respected local physician, Dr. Juanita Albright, officially filed on Wednesday, Jan. 7 to run for Indiana Senate District 31.
The Republican primary election will be held on May 5, 2026, and Albright is currently the only announced Republican candidate in the race.
Albright is running on a platform focused on lowering inflation and the high cost of living, championing fiscal responsibility, advocating for quality education, and promoting public safety. Throughout her medical career, she has been especially committed to addressing the unique healthcare challenges older Hoosiers face, which is evident in her appointment by Mayor Scott Fadness to the Fishers Senior Center Committee. In the State Senate, she will focus on promoting quality and affordable healthcare.
Dr. Albright has served on the Hamilton Southeastern School Board, overseeing one of the largest school districts in Indiana and helping guide strong leadership, responsible budgeting, and student-focused priorities. During her time as president of the HSE School Board, the district achieved record graduation rates.
“Public service has shaped my career,” Albright said. “Filing today is about continuing that work and bringing responsible, results-driven leadership to the Indiana Senate.”
Dr. Albright has practiced medicine and lived in Fishers for more than 20 years with her husband, Eric, a pediatric pathologist. They are proud parents of three children, all of whom graduated from Fishers High School and are now attending colleges in Indiana.
