Episode Details

**Alexandra Wilson joins Indy Politics to discuss how her local State Senate race in Terre Haute became a statewide — and even White House-level — political firestorm.** Wilson says she entered the SD-38 Republican primary over local issues like school funding and taxes, only to find herself facing ballot challenges, legal fights, and outreach from figures tied to both the White House and Indiana state government urging her to step aside. She talks candidly about the controversy surrounding her candidacy, accusations that she was a political “plant,” the fight to stay on the ballot, and what it has been like navigating all of it while eight and a half months pregnant. A fascinating look at how a local race became one of Indiana’s most talked-about political stories.
