A national conservative advocacy organization has endorsed Fishers physician and former Hamilton Southeastern School Board president Dr. Juanita Albright in the race for Indiana State Senate District 31.
Americans for Prosperity Indiana (AFP-IN) announced the endorsement this week, citing what it described as Albright’s support for fiscal responsibility, limited government and economic freedom.
Dr. Albright, a Republican who has practiced medicine in Hamilton County for more than 20 years, is running on a platform that includes lowering the cost of living, improving access to affordable health care, maintaining fiscal discipline in government, supporting quality education and strengthening public safety.
“These candidates all share our commitment to making Indiana the crossroads of prosperity where all Hoosiers can thrive,” AFP-IN Deputy State Director Cody White said in a statement announcing the endorsement. “AFP-IN will be out in force knocking on doors supporting them, and we look forward to another season of authentic grassroots engagement.”
Albright welcomed the support from the organization.
“I am honored to receive AFP’s endorsement,” Albright said. “With my experience on the local school board and decades in health care, I am used to tackling tough problems and finding creative solutions, and I plan to do the same at the statehouse.”
The Republican primary for Senate District 31 already includes one other candidate. Tiffany Ditlevson, a member of the Fishers City Council, has also announced she is seeking the seat.
The district is currently represented by Republican Kyle Walker, who has announced he will not seek re-election in 2026. Senate District 31 includes much of Fishers and portions of Hamilton and Marion Counties.
Americans for Prosperity is a national political advocacy organization founded in 2004 and closely associated with the political network built by business leaders Charles and the late David Koch. The group operates through state chapters across the country and has become one of the most influential conservative grassroots organizations in American politics.
AFP advocates for policies centered on free-market principles, including lower taxes, reduced government spending and fewer government regulations on businesses. The organization has also supported expanded domestic energy production and school choice initiatives.
Critics, including environmental and progressive advocacy groups, say AFP has opposed climate-change regulations, organized labor initiatives and expansions of government programs such as the Affordable Care Act.
Because Americans for Prosperity is organized as a 501(c)(4) nonprofit focused on policy advocacy, it does not make direct campaign contributions. Instead, the organization often supports candidates aligned with its policy goals through grassroots organizing, advertising campaigns and voter outreach.
The Republican primary for the open Senate District 31 seat is expected to draw significant attention in Hamilton and Marion Counties in the months ahead.
