Background
Magdalaine Davis is a Republican challenger running for the open HD-26 seat after incumbent Chris Campbell (D) chose not to switch parties. A Purdue University political science graduate (December 2024) and self-described "Navy kid," Davis is pursuing a second bachelor's degree in Anthropology with a forensics focus at Purdue (Source 1). She entered the race after Anthony Hustedt-Mai encouraged her to consider the seat and after attending a West Lafayette City Council meeting that convinced her that local issues "stem from decisions being made at the state level" (Source 1). She describes her approach as "research-grounded and Constitution-guided" and has pledged to serve no more than eight years in office, citing George Washington's precedent (Source 1).
