Background
Greg Goode was sworn in as Senator for District 38 on November 1, 2023, winning a Republican Party caucus with 56 of 74 votes to fill the seat vacated by Sen. Jon Ford (Source 3). He had served as state director for U.S. Sen. Todd Young and as executive director of government relations and university communications at Indiana State University; he also helped form the Wabash River Regional Development Authority and worked to implement the READI grant program in the Terre Haute area (Source 3). District 38 covers Vigo and Clay counties and northeastern Sullivan County (Source 3). In the 2025 special session on redistricting, Goode voted against House Bill 1032, the congressional redistricting bill, making him a target for a Trump-endorsed primary challenger (Source 5). Ford had introduced him before the 2023 caucus as a "great Christian conservative" with "deep ties to the Indiana right to life movement and Second Amendment groups" (Source 3).
