Democrat Devon Wellington of Noblesville has announced her candidacy for Indiana House District 29, a seat that includes portions of Fishers and is currently represented by Republican Alaina Shonkwiler.

In a statement announcing her campaign, Wellington said she is running to provide what she described as more responsive representation for residents of the district.

“I am running because I believe every single Hoosier in District 29 deserves a representative who listens to their concerns and fights for their priorities,” Wellington said.

Wellington said she has spent time speaking with families across the district and believes their concerns are clear.

“I have listened, and the families of District 29 have made their priorities clear: they want a more affordable life, strong public schools, and real economic opportunities for themselves, their children, and future generations,” she said.

Wellington has lived in Noblesville since 2023. She works as an educational policy advocate consultant and is a small business owner. According to her campaign, she volunteers at her children’s school, serves on Noblesville school district boards, and is involved with the civic engagement organization MadVoters.
