Background

Brenda K. Wilson is a Vigo County Council member who declared her candidacy for Senate District 38 in late January 2026 (Source 2). President Trump endorsed her on January 26, 2026, characterizing her as a "Successful Family Farmer, and Highly Respected Vigo County Commissioner" (he incorrectly identified her county role) (Source 1). She has also received backing from Governor Mike Braun, Congressman Jim Banks, and Turning Point Action (per prompt and Source 2). Her campaign website lists her as an outreach representative for the Indiana Attorney General's office (Source 3). Her candidacy is the direct result of Sen. Goode's vote against redistricting (Source 2).
