Background

Alexandra Wilson, a 34-year-old network engineer from Terre Haute, entered the District 38 Republican primary motivated by concerns over a planned Terre Haute school consolidation project she anticipated would raise taxes (Source 2). She has no family connection to challenger Brenda Wilson (Source 2). Her candidacy became nationally prominent after she recorded White House officials offering government jobs and appointments in exchange for her withdrawal from the race — recordings she subsequently shared with NBC News (Source 2). A ballot challenge alleging a 2010 Vermillion County felony charge (ultimately recorded as a Class A misdemeanor) was brought against her; the Indiana Election Commission split and allowed her to remain on the ballot (Source 1)(Source 2). Vigo County Republican Party Chairman Gentry confirmed she voted Republican in her last primary and voted for Trump in 2016, 2020, and 2024 (Source 1).
