What the law puts in this job (2)
  • Introduces and votes on state legislation as one of the two chambers of the Indiana General Assembly [1].
  • Must be at least 21 years old when taking office and have lived in the district for at least a year [1].

About this race

  • House District 32 covers parts of Fishers, Carmel and a small part of Indianapolis, crossing Hamilton and Marion counties, according to Garcia Wilburn's campaign[13].
  • Garcia Wilburn won the seat in 2022 and was re-elected in 2024 with 52.1% of the vote, according to Wikipedia [14, 15].
  • No Republican filed for the May 2026 primary; on June 26, 2026, Hamilton County Republican precinct committee members chose Paul Nix by unanimous vote in a caucus to fill the ballot vacancy [16].
  • Property taxes are a point of difference: Garcia Wilburn voted against the 2025 property-tax law (SEA 1), saying it would cut local services and raise local income taxes, while Nix calls the law's $300 credit inadequate and supports a proposal to replace property taxes with a 7% tax on services [5, 17].

Candidates on the ballot

Paul G. Nix

Republican

Work
More than 40 years in the insurance business, largely with senior clients [18]

Paul Nix, the Republican nominee, is a Fishers resident picked by a party caucus in June 2026 who is running mainly on eliminating property taxes[17].

Nix's background

  • Moved to Fishers from Fort Wayne in 1990, according to his campaign [17].
  • Has worked more than 40 years in the insurance business, largely with senior clients, and has served as a Republican vice precinct committeeman, according to Larry in Fishers [18].
  • Ran for the seat in 2022, when it was first created, according to The Reporter [16].

Nix's positions

Property taxes

  • His campaign says Hoosiers are "being taxed out of homes they already own" and calls for "real reform" rather than "a $300 credit that disappears from local increases" [17].
  • Supports House Bill 1288, a proposal by Rep. J.D. Prescott to abolish property taxes and replace them with a 7% tax on services; in a letter to The Reporter he wrote that state fiscal estimates showed it would raise more revenue than property taxes [19, 17].

Budget

  • Says he would keep a balanced budget and "find real savings in programs like Medicaid and Medicare without cutting the quality of care" [17].

Education

  • Says parents should have the final say in what children are taught; opposes CRT, DEI and "gender ideology" in schools and opposes male athletes competing in girls' sports [17].
  • In his letter, suggested Hamilton Southeastern Schools, which he said has 1,500 fewer students than six years ago, could rent out empty classrooms "instead of a referendum" [19].

Public safety

  • Supports Indiana's constitutional carry law [17].

Immigration

  • Says he supports legal immigration "100 percent" [17].

Abortion

  • Opposes taxpayer funding of abortion and says Indiana should do more to protect the unborn [17].

How Nix would run the office

  • Lists cutting property taxes as his top priority, saying "no Hoosier should ever be evicted from a home they own because they cannot pay the property taxes" [17].

Nix on the current officeholder

  • At the caucus, he said a candidate who waits until Medicare age to run is "not the typical career politician" [16].

How Nix got on the ballot

  • Was chosen on June 26, 2026 by a unanimous vote of Hamilton County Republican precinct committee members at a caucus held to fill the vacancy left when no Republican filed for the primary [16].

How this record was put together, and what it does not show

What we list: 28 bills chosen by a rule that does not look at topic: both state budgets, four bills named in advance, the 2025-26 redistricting bill, and in each session and chamber the 3 bills whose final-passage vote drew the most “nay” votes.

  • Votes reflect party caucus dynamics. Indiana has Republican supermajorities in both chambers, and many floor votes split along party lines; a single vote says little without the bill and its context.
  • Bills often die for procedural reasons, such as no committee hearing or a deadline, and a bill marked “not reported from committee” may have become law inside another bill.
  • A third-reading vote is on the version in front of the chamber at that time; the final version can be very different.
  • Authoring and co-authoring are different: co-authors sign on, often in large numbers, and usually did not write the bill.
  • Attendance counts roll calls on bills and joint resolutions (about 89% of numbered roll calls). “Excused” is an absence the chamber approved; “not voting” means no vote was recorded.

Key points

  • Property taxes are a point of difference: Garcia Wilburn voted against the 2025 property-tax law (SEA 1), saying it would cut local services and raise local income taxes, while Nix calls the law's $300 credit inadequate and supports a proposal to replace property taxes with a 7% tax on services.
