Background

Trevor G. De Vries is an insurance broker (specializing in transactional risk insurance) and resident of Saint John, Indiana, running as a Republican challenger for Senate District 1 (Source 5). He was endorsed by Americans for Prosperity–Indiana in March 2026 as part of its slate of five state senate endorsements (Source 2), and by President Donald Trump in April 2026 as part of a broader redistricting-aligned endorsement wave (Source 4). De Vries is running against incumbent Dan Dernulc, whom Trump initially criticized for voting against the redistricting map (Source 4).

Positions

Fiscal responsibility

Support

De Vries' campaign site states he will "back smart growth that builds our future without burying families in new taxes," will "cut red tape," "end waste," and "put Hoosiers — not bureaucrats or foreign interests — first" (Source 1). He states he will "unleash small businesses by tearing down crushing regulations" (Source 1).

Limited government

Support

The campaign site's "Freedom" plank states De Vries will "cut red tape," "end waste," support businesses over bureaucrats, and signed the U.S. Term Limits pledge to support a constitutional amendment limiting congressional terms (Source 3). He was backed by AFP-Indiana, which describes its mission as supporting candidates who will "bring down the cost of living" and oppose expanded government (Source 2).

Second Amendment

Support

The campaign site states De Vries "will strengthen Indiana's Second Amendment rights — no compromises" (Source 1). No vote record exists for a non-officeholder; this is a direct candidate statement.

Pro-life issues

Support

The campaign site explicitly states De Vries "is unapologetically pro-life and supports pregnancy centers that care for moms before and after birth" (Source 1).

Family values

Support

The campaign site's "Family" plank states: "as a dad, Trevor believes parents — not the government — raise children" and describes a platform of "Faith, Family & Freedom" (Source 1). The site also states he will "cut the junk, clean up our food, build healthier, stronger families" (Source 1).
