The District 31 Indiana State Senate race appears to be a competitive one, with Democrat Jocelyn Vare and Republican incumbent Kyle Walker . I receive messages from both campaigns on a regular basis. It appears Senator Walker has garnered the most campaign cash, just based on watching television lately and seeing his ads.
Both candidates have been campaigning hard throughout the district, which encompasses all of Fishers and a substantial part of Lawrence.
Walker has listed a number of endorsements, the latest from the National Federation of Independent Business and the Indy Chamber’s Business Advocacy Committee.
Vare, an at-large member of the Fishers City Council, has recently revealed she was the victim of domestic violence about 12 years ago. In a television interview on Fox59, she explained how the local organization Prevail helped her and her two children escape from an abusive situation.
Many local pundits following politics in the General Assembly are following this election campaign. It is generally thought to be a competitive district.
As a reminder, early voting has started in Hamilton County. For more details, use this link.
