J.D. Ford for Congress in Indiana's 5th District 

Putting Hoosier Values First

Affordability

The price of groceries, rent, mortgage, childcare, restaurants and energy have exploded, but our paychecks haven’t. Corporations are raising prices, cutting services, and profiting off of your struggle. In Congress, I’ll fight the pointless tariffs and push for corporate accountability.

Care

Our government made a promise to care for us and I'll fight to ensure America keeps her promise. 

  • Healthcare

  • Childcare

  • Senior care

  • Environmental care

Big Heart. Bigger Impact.

Building a better future for the 5th through compassion

Hoosiers deserve a voice and a choice in their leadership. That’s why I'm running for Congress. You helped me flip a long-held Republican district with the same hard work, compassion and drive that I’ll bring to Washington. I'll fight to lower healthcare costs, empower all Hoosiers, and make life more affordable for the families who keep Indiana moving. As the first openly LGBTQ+ legislator in our state’s history, I know what it means to feel left out and I’m committed to building a state and a nation with liberty and justice for ALL.
