Devon Wellington is the kind of person who sees a problem and builds a solution. When she couldn't find quality holiday decor at fair prices, she started a business that grew 3.5 times year over year. When she saw families struggling to navigate special education services, she became an expert in education policy. When our state representative ignored what District 29 voters clearly wanted, voting for partisan school boards right after our community chose a non-partisan slate, she knew she couldn't just sit on the sidelines anymore. Her family had been visiting Noblesville for years before moving here. One summer evening, she watched teenagers walking safely down the street, completely free and safe. In the DC suburbs where she'd lived, that was never going to happen. Devon chose Noblesville because it reminded her of where she grew up, where she could ride her bike to her best friend's house around the corner. She wanted that for her kids. In that moment, Devon became a Hoosier by choice, and hasn’t looked back. That same problem-solving instinct is what our district needs in the statehouse: someone who doesn't just complain about bad policy, but actually has the skills to craft better solutions.
  • Strong Public Education Currently our schools are being treated as laboratories for partisan politics. Through my professional work, as an active member of three district-level committees, and as a mom, I know that public education is our greatest shared investment. I have seen firsthand that true safety and academic success come from supporting our educators, not siphoning tax dollars away from our classrooms. I will fight to protect our public classrooms and ensure that local funding stays where it belongs: with the students, teachers, and schools that are at the heart of our community. Every child deserves a fully funded public education. Our communities voted for it. Our economy depends on it. Common sense demands it.
  • Real Affordability I will champion legislation that prioritizes the everyday Hoosier over corporate interests that benefit only a few; legislation that prioritizes those that have truly invested in our communities over shareholders that buy up our homes and price out our own workforce. I commit to working for property tax reform that provides real relief for working families and seniors without sacrificing the safety and quality of our neighborhoods. We have to be able to afford to live in the heartland. Money affects every aspect of our lives from healthcare, to agriculture, to our electric bills, and our loved ones futures. I know my responsibility is to you the citizens.
  • Opportunity You Can Count On. Real opportunity starts with the peace of mind that an unexpected medical bill or a shift in trade won't pull the rug out from under your family. As a small business owner who has faced the direct impact of harmful tariffs, I will be a champion for a stable local economy where homegrown businesses are never an afterthought. I will fight for transparent healthcare pricing to stop hidden fees, protect Hoosiers from predatory insurance practices, and support evidence-based safety initiatives like NobleACT that keep our hometown vibrant and secure. My goal is your goal to have a safe, affordable future full of opportunity for all, not just some.
Strong public education, real and lasting affordability, and opportunity you can count on.
