Voters in Indiana Senate District 46 will have one choice on the ballot this November to represent them in the Indiana Senate. The district covers a portion of central Marion County and includes Downtown Indianapolis and portions of eastern and southern Indianapolis.
Democratic incumbent Andrea Hunley will not be seeking reelection.
There are 50 members of the Indiana Senate. Their job is to work alongside the governor and the Indiana House of Representatives to create laws and set the state budget. They serve four-year terms, and in Indiana there is no limit on the number of terms a senator can serve.
WFYI opened an ongoing voter survey in May, and the most common voting issues were data center policy, affordability, and feeling disempowered.
WFYI contacted each campaign and sent a survey based on voter questions — it asked candidates for their top priorities and their positions on civic health, data centers and affordability. For candidates who did not respond, information was gathered from websites and social media for a "Top priorities" note. Candidates are listed in alphabetical order.
